DIA = Displaying Insipid Art

DIA has a history of displaying art that get people's panties in a twist.

First there was the mural that was described as a graphic representation of nazism and baby slaughter. I finally saw the mural, and found that the descriptions were blown grossly out of proportion. (Of course, when faced with infant-eating space aliens taking up residence below the airport and underground tunnels to Cheyenne, the mural pales in comparison.)

Now, there is a controversy about a sculpture of a blue mustang. People are organizing to get it removed, there is even a facebook page dedicated to the abolishment of the statue from the airport. I even got a questionnaire from my state representative asking for my opinion on it. I haven't seen it with the exception of a small photo, but it amazes me that there are people with so little to do with their time that they are turning this into a campaign. There is even the implication that the statue itself is evil because the sculptor died in a freak accident when he was struck by a piece of the statue when it came loose from a hoist.

So make an estimation of the time it takes to put up a facebook page, write letters to local officials, giving interviews to reporters, and generally trying to get the word out to Colorado residents to get support for the removal of a blue horse. Then decide what you would do with that much time.
