The Person Who Made This Scares Me a Little

beckham-madrid.jpgIf the person who made this sculpture did it tongue in cheek? I’ll be the first to laugh.

If he/she was serious and sincere, though? To be honest, the thought leaves me a little frightened.

Either way? This is just a little…bizarre.

These photos came to me from Martha, formerly* of Italy Offside, who got them from her brother from an art show in Madrid. The email title was, “Sign #216 the end is near.”

I can’t say I necessarily disagree with that conclusion.

*unless you guys can convince her to stay.

  • This is a sculpture take off of the Pepsi ad w/ the big stars as gladiators. Not that creepy, i guess the sculptor just really liked becks in leather?
  • Ah, yes. I thought this looked familiar. Now i'm a little less freaked out by the sculpture. :-)

    It looks like it, Lisa: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FE4... . All those Pepsi ads for the World Cup were fun, much as I loath advertising of course. Look for all the other players up until the end. Fun. Ehem, but yes, of course it means that the end is near...

    It's good that the statue has a name on the back of its...armor? It looks nothing like him. (Is it supposed to be from that Pepsi ad?)
  • What?! She's gone for good? The Calcio blog said she was "just taking some time off."

    Martha, come back! We need Serie A news! We need WAGS!

    B-t-w, the sculpture is creepy.
