A new sculpture of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin currently on display at the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago is raising eyebrows.
A vast metal head with a gaping mouth, the Palin bust doubles as an oven. In the video below it is seen being used to roast a whole pig. snip
"The smoke from the roasting process will billow from the sculptures head, which is adorned with hair ratted up in a high bun just like the real Palin," wrote CBS Chicago.

(28,017 posts)1. The chin is not pointy enough. Her's is rather more chiseled, and sharp edged.
2. Those glasses should be a bit more squared off at the ends.
3. Although the mouth size is perfectly proportional, and the eyes do glow red when it really gets cooking (just like the real thing), there is an absolutely critical missing piece - the voice. For this sculpture to do truly do her justice, a large blackboard needs to be scratched with major league nails, as a substitute for her whiny, word-salad based voice.
4. Lastly, and perhaps most important, there is not a hint of leather. Sarah will not be seen without designer leather these days. not only does it keep certain parts from noticeably sagging, it has this deliberate impact on older, uneducated, white, christian males, a subtle, but deliberate sexual message.
Other than that, this thing rocks.
