On the eve of "International Women's Day," feminists noted a welcome addition to the way-too-agressive-and-capitalistic bull -- a darling little girl facing him down. According to the Village Voice, "news outlets and social media seized on the mysterious appearance of a statue of a defiant young girl staring down the famous Charging Bull statue." Why is this a statement of womyn power? Who knows? Instapundit wryly noted at the time that “As it turns out, the statue of the little girl symbolically defying Wall Street was installed by… Wall Street itself. And not just any financial company, but State Street Global Advisors, the worlds third-largest asset manager, with $2.4 trillion under management.”

Heh.

Now there's a new twist, according to the New York Post:

City sculptor Alex Gardega — seething over the “Fearless Girl” statue being placed across from Wall Street’s “Charging Bull” — has decided to retaliate with a work of his own.

Gardega created a statue of a small dog, titled “Pissing Pug,” and his sloppily crafted pooch takes direct aim at “Fearless Girl” — or, at least, at her left leg.

“This is corporate nonsense,” Gardega told The Post of “Fearless Girl,” saying it was put opposite artist Arturo Di Modica’s famed bull as a publicity stunt by a Boston-based financial firm.

Gardega says his urinating dog is not even a political statement. It's because he felt the girl statue denigrated the bull statue... artistically. 

“It has nothing to do with feminism, and it is disrespect to the artist that made the bull,” he said. “That bull had integrity.”

The Upper West Side artist sniffed that he even made his dog particularly poorly just to stick it to “Fearless Girl” even more.

“I decided to build this dog and make it crappy to downgrade the statue, exactly how the girl is a downgrade on the bull,” said Gardega, who has never met the other statues’ creators.

This is perhaps the most 2017-thing you'll read today.
