For a glorious moment, I forgot about the man and thought Toronto had a giant dragon-like ice sculpture… damn reality ruins everything

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

To make up for our disappointment

I know it's the keyhole on a chest in that first photo, but damned if it doesn't look like a dragons penis graffiti.

Ha. Me too! It wasn't until I saw the bit about "his new album" that I realized something was wrong. But it took a while. I first assumed that there was a typo that cut out the artist's name.

[–] its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago

Same, but my second thought was Tim Drake. Third times the charm for me though

Why would fans of his try to melt it?

Edit: I guess it helps to read the article. The sculpture contained the release date of the album in a folder. There's no way the people who coordinated this stunt expected people to just wait until the sculpture melted.

What a stupid stunt. Every headline sounds like they are doing it because he's a pedo.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Well maybe they are and the news are just trying to pretend otherwise.

Boo-urns moment

The intention was to make a statement.

And that statement was what, exactly?

We wanted the fans to be able to enjoy it for as long as possible.

Next up: watch paint dry.

A giant slab of ice is a sculpture now?

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The designer called it a scuplture. Who am I to judge what art is?

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

You are you! You can and must judge. For yourself, naturally.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

A urinal has been a sculpture for a couple decades now

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 11 points 18 hours ago

It wasn't even a statue of Drake, just a rectangle of ice blocks?
