Fountain of the Future

The Polish town of Nowa Huta,  near Krakow, recently erected a replacement of Vladimir Ilych Lenin to replace the older, standard Marxist monument to honor the old Communist boss.  This one has Lenin proudly engaging in an approved Socialist activity: urination.

I assume that this is an example of post-Warsaw Pact lésé majesté.  The bilious dork green color furthers this impression.  However, it makes a campy statement, to say the least.

However, I understand that some Polish feminists are arguing that the statue of Lenin peeing while standing be replaced by one in which he is seated on the toilet.  And one assumes that he would not raise the seat afterwards.

The way the Russians have been throwing their weight around lately, putting up a statue like this may not have been such a great idea ...

That's a tourist attraction in itself.

Wouldn't it be neat if it dispensed seltzer water?

Ah playing lightly with the heavy icons of too recent history!
