Top Ten Things Standing in the Way of a Walter Payton Statue
2009-11-03 12:18:00 On Sunday the Bears honored franchise legend Walter Payton to mark the 10 year anniversary of his passing. It was a touching moment and also helped to swing the spotlight onto a topic that's got plenty of folks talking. Should a Walter Payton statue be placed outside of Soldier Field?Simple enough question, but incredibly difficult to answer. No matter which side of the fence you sit on, there exist certain obstacles that I think we all can agree on. Here are the Top Ten Things Standing in the Way of a Walter Payton statue. 10. UpkeepMaintaining Payton's statue would be a drain on the Park District's resources. The fifteen minutes a week it would take to clean the thing would...
The Walter Payton Statue Debate
2009-09-17 03:24:00 We take a moment away from the 2009 season to discuss a topic currently making the Chicago media rounds. The Chicago Park District has announced they are against the placement of a Walter Payton statue in the area outside Soldier Field. From the Tribune:According to a Payton family spokeswoman, park district officials explained that Soldier Field and the area surrounding it is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans. There also is concern a Payton statue outside of Soldier Field might diminish the stature of other former Bears Hall of Famers. The park district, which oversees Soldier Field and its grounds, reportedly offered to have the statue placed at any other Chicago park.While there will surely be...
Why isn't Soldier Field a fitting place for a Walter Payton statue?
2009-09-16 16:04:00 Fred Mitchell writes on chicagotribune.com that the family of Walter Payton has been rebuffed in its efforts to donate a statue of him for display outside Soldier Field. They said the Chicago Park District told them that Soldier Field and the surrounding area is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans. If there was a statue of a World War I doughboy outside Soldier Field, a statue of a football player alongside would seem inappropriate. But it's the edifice itself that's a lasting war memorial, the columns in particular. That's all they preserved when Soldier Field was rebuilt. I can't fathom any objection to honoring a man who was the face of Chicago Bears football for the better part...
Should Walter Payton get a statue at Soldier Field?
2009-09-16 08:19:00 It's a question that seems almost silly to ask: Should a statue of Walter Payton be erected outside Soldier Field? (Chicago Tribune) Good Lord, of course. He's the greatest player in Bears history, maybe in NFL history, and was beloved off the field as well as on. This is the no-brainer of no-brainers. Except it's not. The Chicago Park District doesn't want it to happen because, according to the Chicago Tribune, "Soldier Field and the area surrounding it is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans." Well, that makes perfect sense. Football is war-like, but it's not war. And to mix fake war with those who fought in real wars is beyond insensitive. Vote in the poll...

TRUE BLOOD’s Michelle Forbes Talks Maryann, the Statue and What’s Next
2009-07-12 23:36:00 Direct from Toronto’s Polaris Convention and just in time for this evening’s return of TRUE BLOOD, HBO’s deliciously addictive vampire series (that as it turns out, is a about a whole lot more than just blood suckers) comes this TV Addict’s new interview with Michelle Forbes, who plays the mysterious Maryann Forrester. The TV Addict: Earlier in your career, it was widely reported that you turned down a series regular role on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE because you didn’t wish to commit to a series regular role on television at that point in your career. Why the change of heart with TRUE BLOOD? Michelle Forbes: Alan Ball [TRUE BLOOD's creator]. He’s such a wonderful man to work for and I don’t think I’ve ever run into anyone who is not a fan of his. And, after DURHAM COUNTY and IN TREATMENT, I really wanted to do something light and fun. And while TRUE BLOOD is a very technically difficult show and there is a lot of depth to it, it&rsqu...

So once we were tied up, we snuck off early in the morning to have a closer look at Lady liberty Early in the morning, she hadn't put on any make up and you can see the oxidation and the lines running down her face. Well she's been out there a long time so you can't really blame her for looking like that first thing in the morning.

Giant Statue Of Qu Yuan In Singapore
2008-06-08 10:52:00 In conjunction with the celebration of the Duan Wu (Dumpling) Festival, the giant statue of Qu Yuan was set up at Waterloo Street, Singapore.The building behind the giant statue of Qu Yuan is Rochor Centre. The height of this giant statue is about 2 levels of a building.Qu Yuan (340BC--278BC) was a Chinese patriotic poet from the State of Chu during Zhan Guo (Warring States 403BC--221BC) period.Qu Yuan was a loyal minister of the State of Chu. Under the influence of his political rival, he was exiled twice by the king of Chu. He was desperate when his homeland was conquered by General Bai Qi of the State of Chin. He jumped into the Mi Luo river to protest against the corruption of his country. In order to keep fish away from Qu Yuan's body, villagers threw zong zi (dumplings) into river for fish to eat. Today (fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar), Chinese all over the world celebrate Duan Wu (Dumpling) Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.
Indian visitor upset over Gandhi statue position at Tussauds
2008-06-07 08:09:00 AHMEDABAD: Not happy with the placement of Mahatma Gandhi's statue at Madam Tussauds, a man from Gujarat after his first visit to the famous wax museum has written to Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown to shift it from that position. V K Saxena of National Council of Civic Liberties in his letter to Brown said the statue is not placed in the wing where the statues of other illustrious world leaders are exhibited. Gandhi's statue is placed at an isolated corner on the second floor near an ice cream parlour close to the dustbin, Saxena wrote in his letter. Thousands of visitors who use this parlour throw away waste into the bin which often spills out near the statue, he said. He requested Brown to take immediate action to see that this anomaly is rectified. Saxena has also sent copies of his letter to all national leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Leader of Opposition L K Advani.Source: economictimes

Giant Hulk Statue Invades Theaters!
2008-05-03 16:12:00 If you went to see Iron Man this weekend, it's very likely you saw the new "life size" Hulk statue sitting in the lobby somewhere.I always admire (and critique) the in-theater marketing efforts that the studios send out, and this time this one is worth mentioning. Like The Simpsons Movie couch and Silver Surfer statue last year, this is becoming the "talk of the town," at least when it comes to marketing material. The statue is for this summer's upcoming Incredible Hulk movie. I suppose Universal thought the best way to get people to realize there was a Hulk movie was to literally put a giant Hulk statue right in the lobby of every movie theater. And I suppose it worked, but I still don't know if the movie is going do too well. In case you live beneath a rock and haven't seen this yet, some photos can be found below. Photos above are courtesy of SlashFilm. The statue actually weighs somewhere around 800 pounds. It's being referred to as life size, but in actuality I think it...
