Giant Marilyn Monroe Hovers Over Chicago !!
Chicago, Sunday, July, 17, 2011. The 26-foot "Forever Marilyn" sculpture which was unveiled last Friday on Chicago's Pioneer Court has become the target of controversy. "Sexist", "creepy", "wrong", "bad taste", "porn", decry many. Others say, "I think it's really neat", "I love it", "It's fun", "Outrageous, in a good way". Around the globe people are weighing-in with their opinions on the statue by artist Seward Johnson. Even the "Wall St. Journal", still spinning from their hacking controversy, adds their two cents worth labeling it "an overused cultural icon that triggers a gag reflex". London's "Daily Mail" poses the question: "Work of art or a pervert's paradise?"
