I have no words to explain what has just happened in America, so instead here are some smiling men..

A-maze-ing Laughter is a sculpture located in Vancouver’s English Bay. The 2009 artwork is by the Chinese sculptor Yue Minjun and comprises 14 bronze sculptures portraying the artists own face in various hysterical poses.

The inscription on the seated area reads:

“May this sculpture inspire laughter playfulness and joy in all who experience it.”

I certainly couldn’t smiling every time I went past it.
