Demonic International Airport

The Denver Post hosts a photo and description of the giant new Mustang that now sits on the road to Denver International Airport. "Denver officials commissioned 'Mustang' from [sculptor Luis] Jimenez in 1992," the Post reports.

My first reaction to the sculpture was that it's "repugnant." My wife said, "It looks like it's possessed."

My wife's view seems to be a common one. On a separate blog post, the Post includes a number of comments about the piece that are almost entirely negative. Here are the highlights: "diabolical," "hideous," "a demon horse... melt it down," "truly horrifying," "looked better when it was wrapped in plastic," "waste of tax payer money... beautiful if you are a satan follower," "more appropriate in a horror type theme park," "a debacle," "an embarrasment to Colorado," "likely to give children nightmares."

When someone like Ari even repeats comments which describe a piece of "artwork" as demonic, you KNOW it's gotta be somethin' else.

The fact that it killed its creator doesn't help. ;)
