- * This is by far the most horrifyingly ugly statue in davis, probably in california, and quite possibly in the U.S. Meant to convey a sense of motion, the only movement it induces is an uncomfortable retching for the viewer. I have long planned to destroy it in the name of aesthetics, but i've been unable to steel my nerve sufficiently to approach this monstrosity. --["EllenWoodall"]	+ * This is by far the most horrifyingly ugly statue in davis, probably in california, and quite possibly in the U.S. Meant to convey a sense of motion, the only movement it induces is an uncomfortable retching for the viewer.

Unless I hear otherwise, I'm inclined to go with the atomic bomb story. - ["EyadDarras"] - * Indeed, this is a hideous piece of garbage, but I daresay that ["The Ugliest Statue"] is quite a bit uglier. Think about it. This is just a homely representation of some ugly children running away from each other (presumably because of each other's repulsiveness). With ["The Ugliest Statue"], nobody even knows what it is or what it's supposed to mean to its viewers. It's just 31 flavors of ugly wrapped up into a single statue, if you want to call it that. --["JohnNapier"] - * There is something eerily similar in the "Ugliest Statute" and the Art in the middle of the Arden Fair mall-- you know where there's those pyramids and weird tile cats. But the joggers, I think doesn't look ugly. It just looks like two people running, modern looking joggers, done in a medium as to make it look really old-- so at least there's some kind of interesting duality.
