The Monument of the Romanian Revolution
(Reader Contribution to World's Most Bizarre Statues)
"Nobody in Bucharest (besides its author) seems to like this monument which was added to the Revolution Square in 2005. Even though its official name is 'The Rebirth Memorial Eternal Glory to the Romanian Revolution and Its Heroes from December 1989', the citizens of Bucharest refer to it by various names including 'potato on a stick' (the most common one) or 'the donut/nut/meatball on a spike', 'the olive on a toothpick', 'the brain skewered on a spike' etc. Apparently its modern design has not appealed at all to the citizens of Bucharest. It is so controversial that last year some of the candidates for the seat of mayor of Bucharest declared that in case they will be elected they will move or demolish the monument."
