I can't imagine what it is like to be raised in a society where their only statues that exist are to you and your father.

There's no security rope, so have at it!

5. One would assume that the statue was meant to be as flattering as possible, but ...

he STILL looks like a fucking dunce!

6. it's remarkable, isn't it?

. . . the artist completely captured that 'proud to be ignorant' look of shrub's.

I never thought his dad was an especially bright bulb, but he makes his son look absolutely feckless standing beside him.

8. I did not know about the shoe statue. Three cheers!!!

Giant bronze sculpture honours Iraqi journalist shoe-thrower!

A huge bronze shoe sculpture has been erected in tribute to the Iraqi journalist who grabbed instant fame when threw his shoes at former US President George W Bush last year.

The shoe, in which a tree has been planted, stands 10 feet high and sits atop a white pedestal in Tikrit, the hometown of executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

A rose bush is growing next to the monument which was erected in the gardens of an Iraqi foundation that cares for children whose parents have died in the violence that engulfed Iraq after the March 2003 US-led invasion.

A poem praising Iraqi journalist Muntader al-Zaidi has also been written on a board and stands at the foot of the monument, the work of Iraqi artist Laith al-Ameri.

There is some justice in the world even if sometimes it is only symbolic.

Thanks for the post, BT! Great to learn new things like this.
