| A giant statue of actress Marilyn Monroe is seen
at the dump site of a garbage collecting company in Guigang, Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region, China June 18, 2014. The eight-meter-tall
stainless steel statue, which weighs about eight tonnes, was made by
several Chinese artists for over two years, based on the famous scene
from her movie "The Seven Year Itch". The statue was transported to the
garbage collecting company early this week for unknown reasons after
being shown outside a business center in the city for only 6 months,
local media reported. REUTERS/China Daily |
Hard to believe somebody didn't want the Marilyn Monroe statue, but at 8 "tones" the shipping cost from China might have been prohibitive.
