For at least a year, this inflatable attention-getter has been moored at a car dealership in Clearwater, Minnesota, a little town along I-94 northwest of the Twin Cities.
The thing is bizarre, both in scale (huge) and in purpose. The stern of the ship reads “Titanic,” and here it is at a car dealership. Is this a joke on people who buy cars here? “We don’t sell lemons, but drive away from icebergs!” Is it a comment on the American auto industry, going to the bottom and taking a lot of people with it? Is it just a funny thing to have in the corner of your car lot? Who knows.
