<p>The guy who made the <a href="http://tackytouristphotos.com/2011/08/cheeky-controversy/" target="_blank">Marilyn Monroe statue</a> in Chicago apparently specializes in providing opportunities to look up the skirts of fiberglass Amazonian women.</p>
<p>But Mark&#8217;s parents are a lot classier. They preferred to re-enact the famous spontaneous kiss between a sailor and a nurse in Times Square.</p>
<p>Turns out that this J. Seward Johnson sculpture is <a href="http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20100201/article/2011030?p=1&amp;tc=pg&amp;tc=ar" target="_blank">controversial, too</a>.</p>
