Are we sure this Banksy isn’t bankrolling this?

Silly people congratulating themselves on watch real workings moving a big Rock. Where is reality?? This so called artist has NO clothes. Overrated and out of touch.

That would be awesome to see also.

I viewed the rock Saturday at its stop in Rowland Heights and the chatter was that even one crane could have lifted the thing. And how then to wrap the plastic all around it? The rock appears smaller to me than I anticipated.

Am I the only person that believes this is an absurd waste of time and money and will probably be quite ugly to look at? It’s a big rock, hello!

In response,
I think it is cool! The great builders of Cathedrals could always say I placed that brick. Politics aside I’m sure many people saw such breath taking vaults as a waste too. Who am I to say though I’m just a stone chipper.
