Because when I think of women with strong leadership skills, I always picture them wearing Chuck Taylor's.

Oh. I thought maybe Abbatacola had found a new paramour. Carry on.

The bull is the symbol of a strong and growing market/economy.

I guess having the girl stand in opposition to that is the perfect metaphor for feminism. Stand in the way of real progress until you get some bullshit demand Either that or she's a pinko who needs a helicopter ride.

If you want to appeal to everyone, have her standing against a bear.

I don't care how fearless she is it won't end well for her.

What's bullshit about this statue is that it is a parasite to the bull sculpture. Without the bull she goes from being "Fearless Girl" to "Petulant Brat".

The guy should just move his bull to a different location. Fearless Girl cannot stand alone. If the bull is gone she'll just look like a dope.

They should be trucked like pigs out to the Grand Canyon and catapulted over the edge ... like, literally launched from a catapult.

Sell tickets, concessions, and PPV ... do a Newman's Own gimmick and donate the profits to, say, women's shelters or the Girl Scouts or me or whatever ... at least then those dopes would've been worth something in the end.

Did the artist just put it there? Did he ask the city? Can anyone do this?

Just as the “Fearless Girl” statue represents female empowerment, the image of this man defiling it represents why we need feminism in the first place.

Fearless Girl has a permit. The Bull was just placed there, but people liked it so they let it stay.

Fearless Girl is just a pinko commie standing against capitalism. She needs to board a Pinochet helicopter

I read something recently that the whole Ziggy era was just because of a contract dispute with either a manager or his label. He wanted out but they wouldn't let him so he just said "OK, try this crazy on for size" and as soon as he could he went out and dropped Let's Dance so he could make a fuckton of money back :lol: :lol:

Well then he was even more talented than I thought, because The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is just awesome.

If she gets drunk and announces a few games we'll put her outside Wrigley.

That's really committing to the bit considering there were like eight albums between Ziggy Stardust and Let's Dance.

yea i mean obviously the girl was put there as a symbol of 'fuck your corruption'... but the point of the statue isnt to represent wall streets corruption, its to represent a strong an corrupt-less economy.

it would be like defacing the micheal jordan statue because he gambled a huge chunk of his money away
