      I’m pretty sure that’s people’s plan…

      Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.

      If you get the right angle, the splashback could be pretty realistic…

      … Damn, if I had $100k to spare (and a drill) I might genuinely add that fountain to my yard.
