Oh good, send a pedo doll, winking with a huge ass shit eating grin, along with a card that states the following: "This clever item was made just for you and a few others. It has no practical value or function other than to delight or stimulate."
What makes this ugly doll "clever," you ask? Because it's symbology could be easily lost on the unwitting and unknowing. Fascinating, as well, that this doll sculpture was designed to "stimulate." Really interesting choice of descriptors.
They're clearly disturbed and disgusting. This is the subterranean shit, the winking at each other-inside joke shit that makes me want them to be 6 feet subterranean. I can't wait for something to break big time so that we can send the message that the jokes over, and it was never funny in the first place.
What an ugly piece of plastic garbage. What ever happened to rag dolls and wooden toys? They last forever and can be made by hand. People are so into quantity and not quality. This is an ugly piece that no child will be able to put their arms around and hug. Yuck.

Yet another example of garbage art warranting investigation of two more artists (and their clients):
Here's another of Takashi's "art" called "isle of the dead": https://www.artsy.net/artwork/takashi-murakami-isle-of-the-dead Dedication": http://www.gordygrundy.com/SSDedication.html
And this acrylic on canvas: http://www.gordygrundy.com/SSweep.html
And this piece of "mixed media" blood on a handkerchief: http://www.fellowshipfortuna.com/sd_blood.html
Thanks for this post, OP.
