Readers/listeners might be interested to know that someone briefly added a statue of dog urinating to the assemblage on Wall Street, they claimed it was a protest against the ‘Fearless Girl’ statue.
Snopes has all the details.

I’ve been following some of the online “conversation” surrounding this and the response to the urinating dog and “Pissing Pug” seem to amount to either “The artist is uncomfortable with women” or “The artist has a small penis” and similar things. Most news coverage of the incident mentions the nuance we mentioned on the show but this isn’t getting through to most people with knee jerk reactions to it. I posted something about it on our Twitter to encourage people to listen to the show.
Hilarious!
