    So far, they've provoked people into thinking someone is committing suicide, complaint from an investment bank about one of the statues being insensitive as someone committed suicide around there and a transport department barricade while they investigated a "road blocking" complaint.

    The TD response was interesting... No one does jack about illegal parking, but a naked man sparks a swift ninja response.

    That one on Queen's Road Central/Theatre Lane is right by the pedestrian crossing. Not a good place to put it.

    Some people may be concerned they could walk into It, is quite easy to tell it is a statue as it's not gawping at a mobile phone.
