Why Does He Cry?

Crying Giant at Kemper Museum, Kansas City

... Maybe he's crying over Sarah Palin's speech? While that would be a very good guess, sculptor Tom Otterness is used to created dark figures with seemingly happy outward facades. Short, interesting NYTimes piece.

i likes this picktures becalse the cartune characters are usually happies, but this one looks sad. it makes you thinks that maybe sometimes cartune characters are not always happy likes the Garfeld or Beetles Bailey. that is a wierd spaceships behind it. is the cartune supposed to be a sad alein who is crying for how bad we treats the planet? or maybe he is just not able to make the poops. that would make me sad to.
