#1 Never heard the expression, something like an urban version of the Post Turtle or is it more cutting like surrounded by the modern world with no escape but to bark, bite and piss?

#2 I saw this in a bathroom stall once. I didn't think it was a big deal.

#3 From Wikipedia:

A roundabout dog (Swedish: rondellhund, originally Östgötsk rondellhund, "Ostrogothian roundabout dog") is a form of street installation, which began occurring during the autumn of 2006 in cities and towns all over Sweden. Anonymous people put out homemade dog sculptures, typically made of wood (or sometimes plastic, metal and textile) in roundabouts. The phenomenon has been reported all over Sweden and has also started occurring in other countries, such as Spain after it was being mentioned on Spanish television (PuntoDos).[1] Swedish tabloid paper Expressen even placed one at Piccadilly Circus.[2]

#6 Sooo...kinda a garden gnome..or as a sort of civil protest? Just trying the understand the context.

I mean, if someone did a Boticelli style painting of mo looking into a pool and seeing a million faces of mo and none of the matching his perfection, a mockery of sorts, then yeah I would put that there with piss cross if grading on a level of uproar potential. As it was said this looked like bathroom graffitti. It could have been see-through mo with the thin skin, a ton of other things. Just trying to understand why get upset about this (which is the point of course).

#7 It's a remarkable likeness - considering it was done on an etch-a-sketch!
