A chance for Japan?
Or at least one of its urban transport companies to snap up this unwanted sculpture to brighten up one of the drabber stations on the network.
A sculpture depicting a commuter falling into the path of a train driven by the Grim Reaper will not go on show at St Pancras station in London following complaints, it emerged today.
The section shows two images of a platform reflected in a giant pair of sunglasses.
One depicts a man falling onto the tracks in front of an underground train with a skeletal figure at its controls.

Glad to hear it, because my latest entry is pretty much all about it, complete with a massive explosion and Our Lord Jesus Christ, both of which are giving the bird in disdain. It's too bad I don't have a wider reading audience, because I hoping someone would have been offended by now. Oh well...
