Скачать или смотреть Giant Dalmatian balances NYC taxi on nose

It's an odd idea for a major public sculpture: A 20-foot-tall Dalmatian balancing a life-sized NYC cab on her nose. Do you give it a thumbs up? This hospital did and… it works.

Script

See Spot In front of a children’s hospital in NYC.

And yes, that’s a life-sized New York City taxicab that Spot is balancing on her nose. The lights and the windshield wipers both work.

The artist, Donald Lipski, gave a simple reason why a yellow cab is poised on the nose of a 20-foot high Dalmation:

He said he wanted to make something so astounding that it would distract even those arriving for the most serious procedures.

Works for me, and probably makes perfect sense to many young children. Spot speaks absurd kid cartoon dream life.
