An annoyed artist decided to do to “Fearless Girl” what “Fearless Girl” did to Wall Street’s famed statue Charging Bull, i.e. recontextualize it in a way that diminishes it without the artist’s permission. Not surprisingly, some people are upset at this disrespectful treatment of their favorite statue.

Sculptor Alex Gardega created a small sculpture he calls “Pissing Pug” and placed it next to Fearless Girl so that it appears the dog statue is urinating on the girl’s shoe. From the NY Post:

I passed that bull many times and I liked it. Tourists really like it. Fearless Girl is standing up to what? Capitalism?

Leftists and their icons deserve nothing but ridicule.

Its fun watching them degenerate into a spittle flecked purple faced rage.

Someone should mention Piss Christ to the outraged ones to see how they react.

The Bull represents capitalism. The Pug is entrepreneurial capitalism.

Throw in a dash of "the glass ceiling" on Wall Street and you have the reason for the statue.

Mr Di Modica ought to get permission to move his statue to a private yet publically accessible lot. The Fearless Girl would look pretty stupid then.

It can be, depending on what it means to you. Some embrace 'capitalism' as an excuse to make money by whatever means.

I think we should abandon the term to the socialists and speak of free enterprise or whatever connotes economic freedom.
