FUCK YEAH
MAIDEN MAIDEN MAIDEN

Gets my vote
they all look shit
but what the hell, for £2 million it had better be a HUGE horse
It's gotta be the horse
Horse!!!
....
Wallinger
wins at art.
whatever squatters
get that giant trash mountain house will officially be kings of the squatting world
BY THE WAY
THAT HORSE IS FUCKING SHIT
The Wing and Disc thing
is worse. Just erect a 50ft replica can of Carling and be done with it.
horse wins for me
That Horse
wow
If only they could find a way of constructing it overnight without telling anyone. It would scare the shit out of everyone.
my news email from Channel 4 implies
that the Horse comes complete with a giant willy.
They're all a bit shit though aren't they? I wish Rachel Whitread would get some new ideas.
How about a 200 ft tall placard.......
Welcome to Britain
Closed on Sundays
No Foreign Gentlemen Please
The LASER!! Awesome
Or the big wing and the disc. That one looks seriously cool.
Why the fuck does everyone want a massive horse? Jeez...
Can't we just have a horse with laser eyes?
The best of both worlds.
MASSIVE HORSE FTW!
