Maybe not the best choice for a playset. Even with the planes.
My friend Chris lives in Chicago, and this past weekend he visited a little expo of Lego sculptures. Among the very impressive Lego landscapes, dinosaurs, and whatnot was this familiar tableau:
Now, there's no arguing that this is very well realized, especially when one considers how hard it must be to make convincing fireballs and billowing smoke with little plastic blocks. But one can't help but wonder why this was built.
I'm not offended or anything, I'm just puzzled. And confused. Because it's kind of funny, too. So maybe there's a touch of shame in there as well. Regardless, you've got to hand it to someone for making something out of Legos that provides so much conflicted thinking, right?
Right?

Where did he see this? Do you know the name of the event?

Some friends of mine (who prefer to remain anonymous) gave me this cake when I told them I was moving to NY:

No, I just think it's offensive, honestly. Sorry if that makes me too politically correct.

The exhibit was at the Brickworlds expo, which is a meeting of mostly adult lego builders. They had a web page, but I can't find it on google.

But the award for the most awkward moment involving that has to go to taking it down.

(ok, the last bit was a bit over the lines of decency, now I've offended Jersey Girl)
