This statue of Marilyn Monroe showing the iconic scene from the movie "The Seven Year Itch" was installed in downtown Palm Springs in 2021. It attracts many tourists but it is not without its detractors. A group opposing the statue have obtained a petition with over 40,000 signatures. Among other things they worry that the statue will erode the morals of young people who see it from the rear where her underwear is exposed. I think they need to get a life.

Iconic stuff! I remember reading a wonderful by Adrian Plass in which he introduced a group called "Spot It And Stop It." Reminded me of that. People love to have something to complain about and be offended by these days. Personally? I love this!
Surely there are more important things to worry about than seeing the underwear on a sculpture. Do these young people not watch television!! I think it looks fabulous.
Either a life, or lower the skirt in the back- no one remembers the photo from the rear anyway. Oh well- humankind can always find something to disagree about. Large or small. (o:
