World's Most Controversial Monuments.


Check out some of the world's most controversial monument's in this slideshow...pretty interesting...http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-most-controversial-monuments/1

couple notes...
- while completely disrespectful, the vandalism of the WWII monument is pretty funny.
- I think it's interesting that the Native American Community of South Dakota followed up their opposition to Mt. Rushmore by building an equally intrusive and massive giant sculpture, effectively destroying another mountain.
- People get offended by some pretty normal stuff
- that's a pretty awful monument to The Beatles.
- I agree in terms of the MLK monument
- Germany has a holocaust memorial?
- In regards to the Arthur Ash statue...statues memorializing people representationally can go horribly cheesy and awkward very quickly.
- If you've never looked up the abandoned monuments of the Soviet Union, you should
- There's a monument to Luscifer?
- some monuments are just plain bad!
