Oh no, Tasmania has started on the Skywhale

Maybe that was the Skywhale’s cunning plan all along. When they start slagging it off in other states, Canberrans will all band together in her defence. That’s how it generally works, isn’t it? Just like we call Canberra “Australia’s best kept secret” and such when it is being criticised.

You could be onto something! 🙂

I think someone should make a skyflounder with a giant schlong.

Seconded. There are breasts everywhere these days, and not enough penises.

I really wish I’d been able to make dark MOFO – tassie puts on a great party. Sigh.

With a nod to David Pope, is anyone consoling Carpzilla and his broken heart?

Zounds! Breasts! Avert thine eyes lest thou beest offended! The antichrist has most certainly been thrust upon the pristine shores of Taswegia!

Come on, you need to cut them some slack. You can’t expect Taswegians to be as urbane or worldly as your average Queanbeyanite or Collectortarian. I’m sure it is a little shocking and new.

“which didn’t even look like a whale…”

That’s because it’s a SKYwhale darling, not a bog standard oceangoing whale. 😛

I’m slowly coming around to the charms of the skywhale, but if people are going to slag it off at least learn to count and/or have the decency to investigate what the artist was thinking (or not) when creating the work.

Breasts are offensive to women?

Now I know why that Devil I saw in Hobart was wearing a bra…
