That's as much art as the Big Blue Ring lol. Caused a jam with rush hour cyclists and pedestrians on my commute home today over the Peace bridge. I blame Nenshi and Druh.

Who thinks this is a good idea? SRSLY?

Won't anyone think of the children?
Oh and the cyclists as well.
Will fuck off, again.

Should have at least made it blue
The best would to see this ball on the Deerfoot - car polo?
edit: this thing has traveled all over the world with Calgary being only 1 of 3 Canadian stops, Google image search.

I stumbled upon it during my ride this morning.
They should put that thing in the middle of the blue ring haha
So from what I gather its just a big annoying art project?

I don't get how they can block the cycle path like that and people are cool with it... Hell they take away lanes on the road when they are doing construction on 12th because nothing can disrupt the cycle path. Low and behold though you can put a giant ball in the middle and no one cares. Shits so stupid.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Apparently it's part of the brilliant city of calgary canada day 150th celebration.

Like it or hate it. Its getting talked about. Seems like our Art department is more focused with creating controversy which I think is kind of interesting. You can take any 6 random people in Canada and I bet 3 of them know about the Blue ring.
How many other art installations can do that?
They heard about Wynne's duck and had to one up them on stupid.
Can they put it in the middle of a bike lane next?

Just wait till this weekend with the Canada Day celebrations. It usually is already a zoo down there without the ball or it being Canada Day on a Saturday.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Did they just need to put the ball somewhere until the giant clown arrives?
It moves around daily. On Canada Day it will be at Olympic Plaza.

How far are our heads up our asses that we think 3 in 6 people in the entire country have heard of our blue ring?
I bet you 3 in 6 people in the city don't even know what the blue ring is.
Calgary is a statistical spec in the face of Canada lol

Toronto get a duck, we get a ball.
Was going to say, most calgarians have no idea what your talking about when you mention the blue ring. I didn't even realize it was an art piece for the longest time, I just thought it was an odd lamppost and ignored itThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If have to say that 50% of people I meet don't keep up with news. They know work, they know their kid's extracurricular schedule and that's it and ignore everything else.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Actually the city of Calgary put no money up for the big red ball - the monies came from a $700,000 Canada 150 grant from the federal government to the city of Calgary.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
