Alice: MOM! I KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS! IT'S IN THIS CATALOG! Mom: Let's see. Alice: It's this fountain thing! Alice: It's got monsters and fish and babies spitting water! It'd look so great in my room! I'm going to tell Santa about this! Mom: Honey, that's a National Geographic article on " Big Ugly Fountains: Eyesores of the Baroque."

Now wait a minute, Madeline! Big, ornate fountains of the baroque style are quite delightful. Maybe Alice should have one installed in her bedroom!Think of the tourist dollars you could generate just from admission ticket sales alone! And then there’s the snack concession (your kitchen). Think about it, Madeline, and get past that article’s anti-baroque bias!

It does look vaguely Baroque-ish…I have to agree with National Geographic, though, it’s not of the best the Baroque period has to offer.
