Vienna Unveils $2 Million New Fountain and Oh Boy Where Do We Start

Everything woke turns to shit.

We can't have sculptures made by people who actually know how to sculpt -- that is White Supremacy In Action.

Instead, we have to hire homeless people who make "outsider art" and unskilled cretins who make "Naive art" (innocent of any actual training or technique) and "primitive art."

And this is what you get.


Sound on:


Fountains are important artifacts of civilization. Consider, a city water system makes the city possible. People would literally die without it. Some would die of thirst, others of cholera.

But a water system is almost entirely underground. Invisible. Forgettable.

A fountain is a celebration of vital civil engineering. It's a little show-offy, but without it, you might completely forget that men worked hard under dangerous conditions to bring life-giving water into a settlement and thereby make civilization possible.

And here's your tribute!

The city of Vienna, Austria, unveiled a 1.8 million euro ($1.9 million) fountain on Oct. 23 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the city's modern water system, Heute reported.

The city initially thought the project would cost 2.1 million euros, but the fountain, which includes 33 abstract humanoid figures, came in under budget, Heute reported.

"Abstract humanoid figures" = crap that idiot children made with cat poops

A water system is one of the great, um, fonts of civilization.

And this is how they honor it.

Viennese mayor Michael Ludwig and Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen attended the opening ceremony. "150 years ago, the water pipe brought the best quality drinking water to us from the Lower Austrian Alps. The day marks Vienna's liberation from water shortages and epidemics such as cholera," Ludwig tweeted in German.

"The name of the anniversary fountain 'WirWasser' ['WeWater' in English] stands for the responsibility that society bears for water. The structurally very demanding fountain was built in just eight months," wrote Ludwig.

That long?

Looks like you roughed it out over a (drinking) weekend.

Others took issue with the fountain's design. "Human language has no words to describe how hideously ugly this is," one user posted in German, while another asked if the fountain was "surrounded by aliens."

They destroyed the world and called it beautiful:
