There's a statue in Loveland, Colorado, that's causing quite a stir.
"Triangle" is a statue of three figures, and it was recently placed on a busy street as part of a public arts program that has already produced 269 statues. But many people object to the statue, saying its nude figures are inappropriate. "It's pretty clear the intent of the statue is sexual," one resident said.
The city council has agreed to study the possibility of removing or relocating the statue. But as one council member said, quoting an artist who spoke to the council, "He said he knows what a sex act is, and this is not a sex act."
Take a look at the photo. If this is a sex act, I don't think it's been performed outside Cirque du Soleil.
