The Whiniest Place On Earth
Vancouver just jumped once again in its lame factor as one of its few decent pieces of public art is shipped off to Alberta. Unfortunately its not one of the endless and tacky orcas or bears or any number of the contraptionous shit art that lines the north shore of false creeks sea wall. Instead of liberating our city of these embaressments we are ditching “Object For Rooting Out Evil.”
We are told that the controversy behind the move isn’t religious as would be ones first guess. No, the reason Vancouver is losing this strange little structure is because people were complaining it was blocking their view of the harbour.
Really.
How many views could it possibly block. Five? So now City Hall bends to the will of a hand full of whiny bitches who don’t want to look out their window and see a piece of public art displayed in a large grassy park. Boo Fucking Hoo. So not only is Scam Sullivan corrupt, incompetent, fascist and stupid, he is also a ball-less wonder who would let a few down town wank heads decide public policy.
Seems like restoring this fabled view of the harbour for five or so people is more important then improving my view of expanding homelessness and despair, of garbage strewn streets, of rundown slumlord rental properties. But I guess I’m just one person and my view isn’t as important as the view of these five.
Guess that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
