I'd find it offensive for the upskirt possibilities, if I didn't find it
amusing for the same reason, it's another victory for perverts.

I don't know if ann finds the statue offensive for the reason that others have
suggested the original photo is offensive, but I think all of those statues are
offensive because they're kitsch, as is the photo of the canyon that sold for
several million dollars.
Coincidentally Roger Scruton has been writing a (very, very poor) series of
articles on the BBC about Art with a capital A, and today he discusses kitsch:

I think his historical claims are wrong, but he describes kitsch quite well.
He promises to reveal to us next time how to tell kitsch from Shinola, so that
should bring down photography prices pretty sharpish.

I know the _photo_ well, Dan - the one Alfred Eisenstadt shot for LIFE
Magazine - and I actually saw back then as my parents subscribed to both
LIFE and LOOK. (I was almost 9 years old on VJ day...)
I think the world's largest cow in... (is it NORTH Dakota?) fares well
in comparison :-)

Like many of Seward Johnson's sculptures, it is based on a great work
of art, in this case an iconic photo.
The sculpture was displayed on Times Square for a while.
