Competitive lunacy
Concerns raised over 'phallic' Antony Gormley sculpture on Imperial College London campus
The six-metre tall sculpture 'ALERT' has been described by the artist as a figure "balancing on the balls of the feet while squatting on its haunches".
It seems like yet another example of competitive lunacy, but could be a valid concern. Imperial College has lots of expertise in valid concerns as we found during the coronavirus pandemic. Just ask Neil Ferguson.

Imperial college have apparently got to such a woke stage that they see steel blocks as phallic - or is it that they're a bunch of useless quants. A couple of hours with a gas axe and I'd soon androgynise it for them . . .
'Gormley described the sculpture as a figure "balancing on the balls of the feet while squatting on its haunches ..."'
OK, so he's in the old style of French loo. I don't see what's phallic about that. Maybe Sky needs a better photo.
Jannie - I'll go with the bunch of useless quants explanation. It fits.
dearieme - maybe Gormley uses Lego for inspiration.
The moaners are gormless
Ed - they will be if they have their way.
