    Reminds me of this cover for Laibach's "Amerika" (a mariacci Band cover of the Rammstein song) - the picture on the bottom.

    The one above is Laibach photoshopped onto tie oval office with a bomb going off (a still from "Iron Sky" - about Nazis on the moon. They did the score for both parts of the Finnish low-budget films).

    From what I gather this was a model that is found in front of a major dept store in Brazil, so I don’t think they’d feature it as a photo, but I wonder if they’d portray the actual thing in this state for a cover image for the visual effect

    It goes even deeper. A 'fake' statue of liberty (representing the US paying lip service to it's ideals) that is collapsed in front of a department store (America's slavishness to capitalism).
