You don’t need a degree in economic theory to feel the strain of the economy. Just check your mutual funds. Check your stocks. Hell, check your damn wallet. The strain is bound to make our hair fallout.
Seems like our currency has felt it the most. Even the images of our forefathers are looking a little stressed out. Need some help guys? Hit the jump for tons more bald action.
As part of Liverpool’s Capital of Culture celebrations, the French company La Machine created this 50 foot monstrosity and called it art, when in actuality it is a movie prop from Eight Legged Freaks that none of the cast wanted to take home.
The installation cost £1.8million to bring to Liverpool – and all but £250,000 of this was funded by the taxpayer.
Man, if I lived in Liverpool (I’m glad I don’t because I hear they’ve got a spider problem these days), I’d be glad to know my tax dollars are being put to good use creating robot spiders that roam the streets. The worst part about this entire thing is that, in the name of art, La Machine is turning this into some kind of weird city-wide LARP. That’s live action role play. After some phony story about this mechanical spider was written, the citizens of Liverpool still approve and want to go along for the ride.
