Residents of a US town are up in arms over the instalment of a bronze "selfie statue" that depicts two smiling girls taking a photo in front of City Hall.
The city of Sugar Land, Texas unveiled the bizarre new statue last week, donated by local artist Sandy Levin as
one part of a 10-piece sculpture collection, according to the city's website.
It's unclear whether Mr Lenvin intended the piece to be serious, satirical or cynical, but not everyone is impressed with the council-approved statue, which now sits in Town Square Plaza.
Plenty of residents took the city to task on social media, arguing that it promotes a narcissistic society.
"Sugar Land erected a statute of two girls taking a selfie. Most embarrassing TX thing since Wendy Davis or the Rockets," one Twitter user wrote.
