It's unclear why New Yorkers are so often subjected to some of the most questionable forms of "art" ever created. But never underestimate the lengths to which some progressives will go to label something as artistic—even when it clearly isn't.

New York has just unveiled its worst statue yet — and if you thought that tall lady with an attitude was bad, this one completely blows it out of the water.

The statue, called the “Foot Fountain,” is a pink structure that barely resembles a foot at all.

Yes, I, too, am speechless. I mean, the thing could pass for a lot of things—but if I were just a regular passerby, guessing “foot” probably wouldn’t have even made my top five. And if this is supposed to be art, why is this not art?

According to NDTV:

A 10-foot-tall pink "Foot Fountain" has popped up at the High Line in New York, courtesy of Argentine artist Mika Rottenberg. The giant pink foot-shaped art installation, adorned with red-lipped mouths and tongues, features a working sprinkler at the tip. This quirky sculpture lets people activate pedals to squirt water out of its tip, allowing New Yorkers to have a bit of fun and splash others. According to the artist, it's a playful twist on traditional classical fountains.

The structure is an "irreverent take on the tradition of classical fountains that are commonly plopped into the middle of a square or in gardens, their water forever self-contained," according to a press release.

And no, this fountain wasn’t created to raise awareness about the growing STD epidemic among the nation’s population, though you’d be forgiven for thinking so.

Some Instagram users pointed out that the sculpture's design, featuring multiple mouths and tongues, might be seen as a representation of herpes or other STIs. One user even called it "herpetic." Danny R, a 29-year-old visitor from San Francisco, described the sculpture as "uncomfortable" despite being a fan of the artist's work.

LOL. Can art even be factually judged? Maybe not—but if the shoe fits, it definitely fits. Still, I’d argue this is even worse than that other statue.

At this point, it’s hard to tell when New Yorkers will get to enjoy actual art, because right now, it feels more like a punishment than a privilege.
