LOVE Stinks: Earlier this week, massive sculptures spelling out “LOVE” appeared in Dupont Circle—-part of, DCist reveals, a Virginia tourism campaign. 1) Insert Robert Indiana joke here; 2) the Dupont LOVE installation is an even bigger eyesore than those warped heart sculptures promoting Colombia tourism in 2009.
