    sometimes a picture just cannot replicate what it is you can see with the naked eye.

    this is just such a case.

    No it doesn’t. Terribler picture. Useless. Pointless. I don’t like the person that took this. Stop. Never do anything again.

    wish they would melt it down and make it disappear, it attracts junkies and wasnt it proven to be worth so many millions that it would mean an immediate asset to our damaged economy? Cop on and get rid

      ‘it attracts junkies’ it really doesn’t. Lot’s of people use it as a meeting spot and tourists are constantly photographing it. Both indicators of a successful public monument I would say.

        It’s trendy amongst cultural pessimists to give out about the Spike, but actually its elegant, aesthetic, a symbol of ambition (sometimes well-founded and sometimes ill-, and yes with a bit of hubris mixed in), and importantly it is popular with locals and tourists without being kitschy (unlike Molly Malone statue for example).
        Truth is almost everything in Dublin attracts junkies. Why pick this out for blame? By your logic, we should melt down the whole city and sell it for scrap value.
