It's just a giant horse.

Indeed, not much point to it.

Will Essex respond by having a huge blinged up Jeep?

I should think one huge white patent leather stiletto would better suit.

Unbelievably stupid waste of money.

Who wants to see a giant horse? I just don't get it.

Why the bridle?

Does Man have to control everything??

Have I got a deal on a giant nickel, just for special friends of Rick!!!

Ill be able to see that from my House... Really not wanting to tho...


Very bad idea extreme waste of money

Watch the video (half way down the page) of the artist being interview.

I personally think he has no idea what he is talking about and somehow lucked in to getting the commission.

Double fix?

It would be much better if it was rearing, wild-eyed and windswept.

Certainly more natural, not domesticated.

Comme ci??

No, nothing like that. I had in mind more of a Jacques David effort, sans Bonaparte, of course.

You'd have all the Japanese tourists stroking its testicles.

That would make an excellent gameshow in Japan.

LOL! Takeshi's Testicles

It does look a bit docile. I can't say I'm that impressed.

Must be a Shetland pony.

What is the point? I don't care if he won a turner prize, its just a horse! You cant inject culture simply by saying "yeah, lets build a big sculpture for loads of cash."

Why don't they put something representative of Britain there, for all the people entering on the eurostar, like a giant stella can.

I hope someone steals it.

No, I was talking about Man, the species (as was iJohnHenry) not a particular man. Perhaps I should not have deleted the second sentence I originally had: "when horses pay, they get to choose the pose". I didn't want to cross from intended repartee to a possible unintended sleight (kind of like when "fixed it for ya" is used instead of adding an alternate twist on the words as a standalone reply - aka repartee).
