New Yorkers horrified after feminist erects 'outrageously inappropriate' phallic sculpture that 'squirts' over passersby
A provocative pink sculpture erected in one of New York City 's busiest destinations is enraging locals over its 'grotesque' look and not-so-subtle features. The 10-foot-tall 'Foot Fountain (pink),' which is slated to grace Manhattan's High Line Park through May 2026, is composed of a foot at its base with a flesh-colored column extending upward in all its phallic glory. The piece is adorned with several mouths featuring protruding tongues and is topped by a sprinkler that spouts water when passersby pedal on a nearby machine. Viewers have reacted with a mix of shock and disgust at the innuendo-heavy art. 'This is disturbing,' one person responded to an Instagram post by the park promoting the piece. 'Is this a joke?' another asked. 'Um. That doesn't look like a foot,' a third chimed in. 'I'm thinking the "foot" part of this installation was a last-minute creative decision,' another joked. One user commented on X: 'They knew what they were doing with this... it mimics a penis with warts, shooting semen out the top... they added the foot because well ya know can't legit have it only be a giant pink d*ck. Imagine the children's thoughts passing on by.' Another simply said: 'Oh it's a squirting c*ck statue.' The artist behind the piece, Mika Rottenberg, has described her work as 'an overindulgent creature from my drawings'. 'It first appeared as a small sculpture while I was doing some craft work with my daughter during the pandemic,' she said in a statement on the High Line's website. The Argentine-born artist explained that the piece was originally conceived for a museum in Switzerland to work as irrigation fountain to water flowers. 'Here on the High Line, instead of nurturing the well-tended gardens, I thought it should nurture and cool passersby on hot days, and share some of its overenthusiastic spirit!' she said. The works of Rottenberg, who was born in Buenos Aires and currently lives in Manhattan, have been featured at museums and galleries around the world. This isn't the first time the High Line has featured unique art. Last summer it debuted a gigantic 16-foot pigeon in the same place where Rottenberg's sculpture now stands. The pigeon was meant to challenge the grandeur of traditional monuments that celebrate significant historical figures in the city. The name and size of the bird was also meant to poke fun at the 'the typical power dynamic between bird and human' as it towered over pedestrians and drivers. In his sculpture description, Iván Argote explained that the pigeon represents the city's evolution and confronts its viewers with the constantly changing relationship with the natural world and its inhabitants.

Champagne-sipping train passengers left 'fuming' after Oasis show derails plans
Champagne-sipping train passengers left 'fuming' after Oasis show derails plans The 1930s-style train was supposed to pull in to Cardiff after a day out visiting Windsor and the Royal Hampton Court Garden Festival, however they had to change their plans The Northern Belle's special journey was halted early due to the first Oasis Live 25 gig in Cardiff. (Image: The Northern Belle ) Network Rail have been accused of making a "blunder-wall" by letting Friday night's Oasis comeback concert derail Britain's poshest train, The Northern Belle. After a day out visiting Windsor and the Royal Hampton Court Garden Festival, the 1930s Pullman-style train was meant to pull in to Cardiff Central station at 10.50pm. However due to Oasis' first reunion tour gig set to finish just moments before, rail bosses reportedly feared the station could become dangerously overcrowded, much to the disappointment of 120 champagne-sipping passengers. To solve the problem, they were said to have ordered the luxury train to terminate 10 miles away at Newport. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here . This decision forced the well-dressed passengers, who had paid at least £550 each, to squeeze into a local Transport for Wales train back to Cardiff. A Northern Belle spokesman said: "While Oasis were singing hits like Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger, Network Rail were setting up a Blunder-wall which left our passengers fuming. "The whole thing rather spoiled their Champagne Supernova." Article continues below They continued: "We can understand Network Rail's fears about overcrowding, but they had known about this for months – so why wait until the last minute to derail the last leg of the Belle's journey? "Our passengers had paid more than £500 expecting a slap-up day out aboard one of the world's most luxurious trains and most dress up for the occasion. "But they had to cut short their six-course dinner at Newport and leave the comfort of their plush seats to squash on to a regular service back to Cardiff. "Obviously they were very disappointed and so are we especially as, with a bit of forward planning, this situation could have been avoided.' Train fares on The Northern Belle start at £365 and cost up to £640, depending on location and package. (Image: The Northern Belle ) They have shared that the Northern Belle will be back in Cardiff for a Cornish Lunch excursion in September, followed by a special Christmas Lunch trip in December.

Melania appears to have lost her groove as she mimic Trump's infamous ‘YMCA' dance at July 4 bash
First Lady Melania Trump made a surprising gesture on Friday by joining President Donald Trump in performing his jubilant signature 'Trump Dance ' during the traditional Fourth of July celebration on the White House balcony. The moment followed Trump signing the 'big beautiful bill,' with fireworks across the sky and 'YMCA' playing across the grounds. Like he's done since his 2024 campaign, Donald swung his hips and energetically punched the air to the beat. Melania joined in, adding her own flair of open palms instead of the president's signature closed fists. The couple also shared a rare kiss on the balcony, to the amusement of the onlooking crowd. A clip of Melania's dance moves, shared by Fox News on X, garnered over 1 million views and mixed reactions to the scarce affectionate exchange between the Trumps. 'He works his a** off and still has some energy to do the Trump dance for fun! LOL! America's energizer bunny!' one person wrote. 'Cool bc I've always wanted her to do this,' another admitted. A third remarked, 'Moments like these show the lighter side of leadership.' Others thought Melania's moves were 'cringe' and unlike her usual stoic behavior. 'Must have been paid big bucks,' one person laughed. 'She does an excellent job faking it,' another said. A third claimed, 'That's a hostage desperately trying to communicate with the outside world.' Meanwhile, social media users debated the unusual PDA between the couple. 'Loved it when he grabbed her around the waist and kissed her. She had such a big, beautiful smile,' one person said. Someone else saw it differently, writing, 'As he yanks her closer and she clearly pushes back. Gold standard of love and affection.' The 'Trump Dance' has become a favorite among MAGA supporters, who use it for big celebrations, including Trump's second-term win, while UFC and WWE athletes have adopted it as a victory dance.
