Cheese art in Central Park

 Niclas Castello, a German pop artist, placed a square hollow golden cube in Central Park earlier this month.  He said it took 4500 hours to design and fabricate.  The cube weighs 410 pounds, is made of real gold, and has a security team standing around to make sure no one makes off with it.  It is said to be art.

This past week a large yellow rectangular box appeared in Central Park with a Velveeta logo painted on each side.  If you google Velveeta Cheese Box in Central Park, you can see it.  It really looks good–much more interesting than that stupid cube, and it didn’t take 4500 hours to make.

Unfortunately the cheese box creators didn’t have the proper permits, and the Department of Parks and Recreation removed it.  

I heard the Superbowl had ads for cryptocurrencies and sports gambling, neither of which I approve, so I didn’t watch it, but I hope the Bengals won.  I understand that state of the art stadium cost umpteen millions, and in the meantime L.A. is full of homeless people.
