Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

I'd tell them what it was, why it was there and ask them what they thought of it.

No!

Bit of a health and safety issue there... once you get beyond the queues of people, waiting to take the place of the pigeons, blocking the public highway, what about the ones that fall off? Still, it will be in a good cause. They could rename it "Blair undone by Brown"...

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

even if your kids where 6 or 7 years old

you see this is where we differ when i was a child we never saw naked men or women with or without arms.
but then again when i was a child i was a child and not a very young adult.
and then again there was no such things as unmarried mothers when i was a child,no such things as peadophiles,murder and rape was very rare.marriage was the norm,homosexuality and lesbianism was unheard of by children when i was a child.
when i was a child this country had morals and decency they would certainly have not put up a statue like this.
but then again this country was not as crappy as it is now.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

No. Why should I be embarrased?

There is nothing wrong with that statue.

It may not be to your taste, but it's no worse than that.

Anyway, I feel the thread heading towards pointlessness , so, having said my piece (well - several pieces), I'm retiring from this one.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

I would have no problem telling them! Why on earth should i be embarressed?

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

i see a few replies saying they would not be embarresed letting there child see this statue.
so would you let your child look at a pornographic magazine or a blue movie.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

In my book art and an X-Rated film are very different!!

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

why, a naked women is the same be it in statue or film.
why would you not be embarresed by a statue yet you would by a x rated film
please explain the differences.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

As an artist who's first love is 3D art I regard it as beautiful.

I think all of you are entitled to your beliefs about what is art and what is beauty.However whether one is ugly or not why shouldn't they be represented on a plinth.I frankly have been horrified by the attitude that because someone is disabled or ugly they have no right to be represented in art.

Shame on you all. :(

No wonder there are so many talentless sh*ts in the world of entertainment,tv,music if the only criteria should be that they are beautiful. :(

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

What a lame comparison, a statue of a pregnant women is not pornographic.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

why is the statue not pornographic?

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

It is a statue, I mean come on be real, next it will be cartoons offending people, some people do take everything as a reason to moan about disability ( and i am disabled ) in everything hell I could say there ain't enough adverts showing disabled people testing hair products but I don't.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

The difference is very simple! X-rated film or Porno is about Sex! The statue doesn't represent sex in any shape or form!

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Agreed.

It is a statue there is one similar in a few ways in Picadilly right facing Burger King which people was talking about saying was disgusting as it is half naked, it is a freaking statue not like it is a screaming woman being banged by a sweaty guy complete with sound and animation is it? how can you possibly compare them together :rofl:
