I know as much about fine art as I do about flying a space shuttle, which is to say very, very little. But I know what I like. And the sculpture situated behind "The State" veteran David Wain in today's Daily TwitPic... it's badass.

Wain is apparently traveling in Italy right now, and his latest stop was Ortygia, Sicily. While there he discovered this impressive sculpture which I can't seem to find a background for on the Internet. My guess is that I'm just not getting the search terms right, but if anyone knows what this sculpture is and who constructed it, please let us know in the comments section. What I do know is that it's not so common to see a giant human form reaching up from beneath the ground, but it would be a hella cool sight to greet you out the window every morning. Read more...

That headline is the truth. I really do miss the crap out of MTV's "The State." It introduced me to a number of wonderful things, including the joys of sketch comedy and the hilarity of one Tom Lennon. Don't ask me who Tom Lennon is. Just watch this clip from the always excellent funnyordie. Then cast your MTV Movie Awards vote for Lennon and Paul Rudd in the Best Kiss category. Do it now, or Lennon will punch you in the... uhhhh... well let's just say it'll hurt.

And hey! "The State" is FINALLY coming out on DVD on July 14! If you're old enough to remember it, you'll be buying this simply because you know you have to. And if you're not old enough, give it a try. You will enjoy. Or Tom Lennon will do... something. Something bad. To you and your friends. And your dog.
