And of course people were upset about it but the artist says people took it wrong

quote:

The Pissing Pug has since been removed, but that's not keeping people from talking about artist Alex Gardega's decision. He says it's not anti-feminism but instead anti-corporation, according to the New York Post.

I think it's a good idea to be triggered whenever you are in doubt, just in case.

5 hours ago: OMG how disrespectful punish the artist of the peeing dog!!!! I'm offended!

Right now: If you're offended by the bloodied head of Trump held up by a skank nobody likes, you're anti-free speech!!!

IIRC no one did. Some artist just decided to put it up as a "statement"

So that dog has as much right to be there as the little girl, then


And why is the little girl white? This should offend black people everywhere.

I was wrong

quote:

Fearless Girl is a bronze sculpture by Kristen Visbal, commissioned by State Street Global Advisors via McCann New York, depicting a Latina girl looking at the well-known Charging Bull (or "Wall Street bull") statue.[2] It was installed on March 7, 2017, at Bowling Green in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The statue measures approximately 50 inches (130 cm) tall, and weighs about 250 pounds (110 kg).
Fearless Girl was commissioned by investment firm State Street Global Advisors (SSgA) as an advertisement for an index fund which comprises gender-diverse companies that have a higher percentage of women among their senior leadership. The plaque below the statue states, "Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference," with "SHE" being both a descriptive pronoun and the fund's NASDAQ ticker symbol.

Who decided a statue with a dog peeing on someone's leg was normal anyway?

Yeah I know right? I see little girls staring charging bulls down all the time, and never once was their a pissing dog involved.

I'm more concerned about the gal in the red skirt pissing in public than I am the pug.

Meh, it's doing pretty well. I wish I had invested 1 year ago, but I'm not about to buy that stock now.

Wait until all their periods sync. The stock will plummet once a month.

BTW, I don't recall you being so sensitive to political this and that in the years I've seen you post. Everything you post is SJW fodder but you're equally if not moreso triggered by it all. Why so melty for the past year or so?

The girl is a methaphor for SHE. A gender diversity ETF.

The girl, by herself, is out of place, but it uses the Bull to pretend it's something that it's not. Free advertising for SHE.

Someone should steal the Fearless SHE.
