Worst Challenge from Melbourne’s Bruce Bruce. Since so many wanted Perth separate, I have decided to only allow outside worst if they are challenging one of our own. Bruce Bruce says…
Perth, your smug certainty that you have the best of Australian worst is ill founded. Our Melbourne fellating dolphins can take your walrus any day. This life size bronze of fellating sea mammals is a reminder of just how human-like these creatures can be. It’s called “Dolphin Returns” or as we prefer “Dolphin Returns the Favour” this sculpture has recently been relegated to a park in Melbourne’s inner west from it’s more high profile spot in the Footscray mall. Originally the upper dolphin had six teats that sprayed high pressure jets of water obscenely over the back of the lower dolphin offering us an image of excruciating and perpetual sea ecstasy.
C’mon. You Melbourne pussies will have to do worse than that! You really think these can challenge this walrus? I think not. The sculptor seems like he knows what he is doing, whereas the Walrus Wrangler obviously has no idea of anything. And you want dolphins? Check out the eyelines of the dolphin sculpture at the Galleria below. Perth 1, Melbourne 0.
We’ll take you, blowhole by blowhole Melbourne.

Bruce Bruce, thats pretty good and maybe if the top dolphin was still urinating you would be in with a chance. Unfortunately there is a gracefulness to the sculpture which overshadows the 69 business – sorry mate, but ours is lumpier.

L.A it is a little sad that you have deliberately resorted to poor photography to make your dolphins look bad. The Melbourne dolphins have been shot head on [so to speak] hiding nothing. And as for “The sculptor seems like he knows what he is doing” – I suppose if he was deliberately trying to depict dolphins heavily engaged the pleasures of the beak, then he has indeed succeeded. But judging from the plaque I don’t think that was his intention. [Although, after reading the plaque, it is difficult to know exactly what his intention was].
BTW are the walruses urinating?

I agree Anon, the urinating takes the piece to a whole new level, I am very disappointed that I missed getting a snap of it in action. If anyone in has a pic of it in its original glory please send it in, I have never seen anything like it, except maybe at the saatchi gallery in London. But even in its current state I think it trumps your dolphins. Although it does appear as if the dolphin on the right is about to eat that little girl which, perhaps, is a little worse than eating each other.

The real abuse is on the eye I’m afraid Tom Boland.

All it need now is for someone to stick two of those green shopping bags on their beaks [lets keep things environmental] to blow away king Walrus.

People, people – just like the fellating dolphins, haven’t we all at one time or another told ourselves “if this is wrong, I just don’t wanna be right…” ?

A fantastic post, but an official protest at the final score clearly needs to be lodged. As an ex-resident of Footscray this sculpture haunted my dreams and occasionally my waking thoughts with it’s provocative challenge to all that is civilized. On every conceivable criteria the self-pleasuring sea-creatures out-worst their counterpart in Perth. It appears the sculptor’s intent has simply been to provide a display of unabashed exhibitionism to shock and undermine the local community. Anatomical inaccuracies are overlooked as six spraying teats were positioned on the defenseless dolphin at the expense of any aesthetic and moral standards. Now they nose each other, old and barren, in a waterless park as a final indignity. The worst that can be said of the walrus is that its hat doesn’t fit and you don’t get a proper view of the eyes. I demand a rematch.
