Default Outrage and mockery erupt over ‘obscene’ $10m MLK statue erected in Boston

What the hell?

If you see a penis in this, I'm wondering where your mind is. However, modern art is generally disgusting.

"A new $10m statue celebrating Martin Luther King Jr has been harshly mocked on social media and slammed as an “insult” to the family by a cousin of the late civil rights leader’s wife Coretta Scott King.

The 22-foot statue unveiled in Boston last week is supposed to depict a photograph of the couple embracing after MLK Jr learned he had won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.

Social media erupted with derision at the statue, with some labelling the artwork “obscene” and “pornographic looking” while noting its resemblance to a part of the male anatomy.

Coretta King’s cousin Seneca Scott wrote in an article for online journal Compact Mag that the artwork “looks more like a pair of hands hugging a beefy penis than a special moment shared by the iconic couple”. "

"Vernon Jones, a former Republican state lawmaker from Virginia, posted: “This is what liberal whites think of ML King & Coretta King and the Black community with this statue. Its disgusting. What an insult to everyone who believes in Dr King’s Dream.”

It looks like a giant turd to me. Rather fitting.
