All haters can suck it. This rules. The end.

um, great idea, but considerably overhyped explanation. shaking in the draft is not quite what i would call animated, and nothing like shaking off arctic water.

Definitely a dog... but still pretty cool!

It's cool. Maybe a little scary, kind of like a rapid dog, but I like it.

This is soooo stupid!!! this shit belongs in the New Museum at Bowery with all the other infantile sophomoric art. First of all, This is just like those inflatable clowns that they have at cell phone kiosks advertising T-mobile's low rates. The difference? one is used for marketing cellphones and this is used to market to dumb hipsters who think it's avant garde or something. second of all, that bear/dog looks lame.

I hope Colbert has something ridiculously funny to say about the BEAR.

I liked Marilyn's dress better. Although I agree it is a very cute bear.

looks like a dog. it's not bad, but that videoclip was about 3 minutes longer than necessary.

I like the idea. I'm another person who thinks it looks like a dog.

It's so sad.

I like it. It didn't destroy property, it's fun and it's a great concept. For me that equals good art.

Very cool. Though, I thought it looks more like a dog than a bear. It "behaves" like a dog too, all shaky and excited.

this one is interesting. More air objects.

Some of the best ideas are very simple.

I agree with the two latter posts. I'd like to see a variety of animals placed throughout the city. I'd also like to see us take ourselves a little less seriously.

Thats a dog.

I figured "shaking off some arctic water" sounded nicer than "having an ursine seizure."

It's OK. He should be puffier, more fanciful. This one looks kind of sickly, like he's struggling to stay erect (rather than "shaking off some arctic water.")
