Even small towns need a scandal

Upstart II, Engineering Quad. True to its name, this sculpture caused a scandal from Day 1: female students expressed their reservations and the town board fought against its placement.

Art often causes scandal but then it all depends on your definition of art...

Oh well, some people have nothing better to do that think up scandals. :))

cieldequimper -- so true, art can be meant to provoke...

EG CameraGirl -- heehee, I think that may well apply here!

I'd say that, fairly often, small towns excel at scandals. :) This must have caused some doozy city council meetings!

Adele - so true! I wouldn't have minded listening to those crazy meetings :)
