This tittytortoise has nothing to do with Canberra, and has to be the most embarrassing balloon i’ve ever seen – if it was a balloon shaped like Robyn Archer’s head with a condom over it being blown up by her nose it would have more to do with Canberra than this monstrosity….

You don’t picture well-heeled Canberran public servants supping from the nipple of the Real Australian tax-paying skywhale?

Dont public servants pay tax? Any chance to have a crack hey?? Dont take yourself so serious, there is already a bit of talk about it, I am sure the silly public servants wouldn’t mind the chatter about Canberra.

I think that was irony?

Follows in the spirit of the phallic owl.

Where’s a Japanese whaling ship when you need one?

$170,000 for that? Talk about wasting money.

Worst Ballon in living Mammary.

That is very odd.

Looks like something you’d haul out of the Pripyat River.

Man that’s ugly! “Celebrated sculptor”?

Wow! That’s…different.

If it is, in fact, Canberra’s balloon, I predict it’ll generate more discussion that our street art.

So for Canberra’s centenary, we weren’t allowed a lasting piece of public art that was to be related to Canberra and its history (remember that? http://info.cmcd.act.gov.au/archived-media-releases/media10ba.html?v=7213&s=185), but we get a balloon that by all appearances isn’t?

Damn, missed an L.
