Delayed Monday Shank - Someone in government has WAY too much power

This here folks is a giant monument of Raspberries. The picture quality sucks because I was 'technically' driving at the same time I took it with my phone. And apparently that's frowned upon so I had to do it quickly and inconspicuously.

I wish I was joking.

Some time last week someone erected this monstrosity and called it ‘art’ in the new round-a-bout by my office. I am all for beautifying, but this is slightly ridiculous don't you think?! Not only is it CLEARLY a misrepresentation of raspberries (c’mon, everyone knows raspberry bushes have thorns) but it is also INSANELY large; thus resulting in numerous fender benders from drivers gaping at it in disbelief

While no fender benders have been reported yet, I am sure they're coming soon. I nearly collided with the curb on day one.That may or may not have been because I  was struggling to take a picture, but whatever.

So today’s (yesterday’s) Monday Shank is reserved for the douchecanoe in government who decided that this ‘art’ was a valuable use of our taxpayer’s dollars. Firstly, it isn’t. Secondly, it’s ugly. End.Of.Story. 

Are there any monstrosities in your part of the world that’s been passed off as art?
