How does pointing out the clear flaws in this sculpture and saying that Dr. King's legacy deserves better make people racist?

The best description I've heard is that it's a sexual rorschach test.
I'm amused and confused by the situation, but not angry or upset. It's just so WTF and awkward. The idea behind it is great, but the execution is.... not quite there.

Which service? My current service, or the new one in the hypothetical case that these people do slamming and change it without my consent?

But did you see the final dozen they were choosing from? They all absolutely sucked. They should have done a better job soliciting proper designs.

Cancel the service… and switch back to your original supplier… but check your next bill first… if she didn’t have your account# or your name she cannot switch your service.. since you were being wary and not understanding her, she got out of the attempted sale…what she was trying to do is to get you to talk to her, then she would give you a spheal about how their company will save you money..
but either way you can always cancel that service and put your original back if for some wierd reason it did get switched

MIT and Wentworth students are going to go NUTS about it. Once again Boston claims the prize for being a city for nerds and geeks.

That's infuriating. The only two options in this case is either she recorded our talk with a recorder, or memorize the meter ID because she saw it for just 3 seconds before she left. I will keep an eye on my bill and I hope it does not change.

At this point I'm more sick of people bitching about it than how meh it looks.

There was a time in the early 90's called phone slamming, where someone would call a home or business, ask any question that would give a positive answer (yes, good, OK) and use that to switch people's telephone service without them knowing.
It's an old scam, but similar to yours.
PSA always treat unsolicited, strangers, as scammers first.

COLA adjustments, my friend, COLA adjustments. It’s always better, assuming they are accurately calculated, because you can put more away for retirement into pretax retirement accounts.

Plastics engineers generally make great money and Lego has extremely good plastics manufacturing. I'd have to imagine they're well compensated and/or will receive a bump from the move.

There better be a USS Constitution released after the move.

It's only an easier commute from the surrounding towns, compared to downtown Boston which offers commuting options from the entire metro. Like, if Lego decided to put their headquarters in Norwood then they're going to struggle to hire someone from Arlington, but putting their headquarters in Boston makes it possible to hire from both.

I called Eversource and they can't do that because I recently switched automatically to Boston CEE. That's crazy. What do you think I should do? And how come they can switch my supplier with no info? The girl just memorized my meter ID in 3 seconds? That is all she saw.

Work for an electric company, they definitely could switch your supplier. Try giving your company a call and ask them to block any third party suppliers from enrolling onto your account, they should be able to

This is a great point. Also i don't recall the last time people talked this much about a statue that wasn't vandalized for memorializing some old racist bastard. When I stopped by with my grandmother, there were strangers talking to each other about what they thought.
Sure, most of it was them saying they didn't like it but... STRANGERS. TALKING TO EACH OTHER IN A PARK. ABOUT ART. IN FUCKING BOSTON?! Statue Wins

Yeah that’s what’s so crazy to me, usually with this kind of things they look good from most angles but there’s a couple bad ones.
With this sculpture, more often than not it looks like something scatological or phallic or both
