What a tangled web a Nebraska woman weaved about a sculpture she thought depicted devil horns — but is actually Spider-Man’s hands.
“It is a sculpture of two hands open, painted Red & Black, and formed into Devil Horns,” the woman wrote in a letter to Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird.
She demanded the removal of the 6-foot sculpture at the Lincoln Children’s Zoo, according to the Lincoln Journal Star.
“This is anti-Christian, and demonic, and completely inappropriate and offensive to place in front of the Children’s Zoo and the Gardens where couples are married,” she wrote.
But city ombudsman Lin Quenzer explained to her that the red sculpture of the hands — in their traditional web-shooting position — is one of 50 installed across the city in the “Serving Hands Lincoln” public art project sponsored by the nonprofit Campus Life, a ministry of Lincoln Youth for Christ.
“Campus Life chose hands as a representation of its mission to serve the community and reach out to teens in difficult circumstances,” Quenzer told CNN.
And even though with great power comes great responsibility, the city was not involved in choosing which pieces ended up on public rather than private property, he noted.
Campus Life director Matt Schulte said there was nothing to fear from Spidey.
“The sculpture is most definitely not a devil-related sculpture,” he told the concerned woman. “It clearly has a very playful child-like intent.”
He told CNN: “We are a Christian organization that has been impacting kids for a long time … clearly we would have never have put something out there that celebrated the devil.”
