Slate has a review of some of the world's ugliest statues:
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2010/04/05/the_world_s_ugliest_statues. Awful for sure. Mexico has a lot of statues, most of them hideous and you'll see them in profusion in even the smallest of cities. One of the shittiest statues out there is off Commerce Street in San Antonio of labor leader, Samuel Gompers. Gompers is depicted as standing tall over a throng of ordinary workers clamoring for his help. In fact, it appears that Gompers is, instead a hideous mongoloid ape creature clad in an ill fitting suit who is preparing to stomp the living shit out of a race of smaller, simian like creatures clamoring for food pellets or something. Also, the finish on the statue is a cross between urine and and what exits a scoured calf. Look for it the next time you're down there.
