"Queen’s Vagina"- Controversial Sculpture Sparks Uproar in France!

Groufie near Anish Kapoor's work 'Dirty Corner' dubbed as "Queen’s Vagina"; Chateau de Versailles.  

A huge steel-and-rock abstract sculpture installed in the stately grounds of the Palace of Versailles dubbed by it's British-Indian sculptor/artist Anish Kapooras as the "Queen's Vagina" sparked an uproar in France! 

The 200-foot long, 33-foot high abstract, resembling a funnel in the form of an orifice, is set up in the garden aimed directly at the royal chateau, which attracts five million tourists a year. Kapoor, 61, actually titled the work "Dirty Corner" which is part of an exhibition of his work in the grounds of the 17th century palace and runs until November.  Some French media outlets expressed unease at the level of provocation unleashed by Kapoor.

Colt filed for bankruptcy!

Firearms manufactured and sold by Colt. COLT BROCHURE SCREENGRAB

Colt Defense, the 179-year-old creator of the legendary “gun that won the West”, announced that it filed for bankruptcy due to weak popular sales and government orders. 

Colt dates back to 1836, when American inventor and industrialist from Hartford, Connecticut Samuel Colt revolutionized the firearms world by creating the first revolver. He founded Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company (which became Colt's Manufacturing Company and now known as Colt Defense), and made the mass-production of the revolver commercially viable for the first time. The Colt company through those entities and its current structure, has supplied small arms weapons systems to the United States Government and other governments throughout the world since the Mexican-American War of 1847.

Samuel Colt makes the first production-model revolver, the .34-caliber.

Colt, which makes recreational guns as well as the M4 and M16 military rifles, warned bondholders in April  of “increasing liquidity challenges" as a result of several recent business trends which included a drop in demand for Colt handguns and delays in US government foreign military sales.
