A head protrudes from the sand, the face resembling a soccer-ball. A
plastic funnel in each ear brings to mind the saying 'In one ear and
out the other', perhaps referring to the fatuous rhetoric the
surrounds sport. Balanced on the head is a small plastic football,
found on a beach - a touch of William Tell! In the corner is an
assemblage that resembles an Olympic flame, a box of matches beside
it. A white pill in the foreground intimates 'All this brouhaha gives
me a headache.' An eye for an eye? A cauliflower for an ear? Is X's
sprained ankle a subject worthy of national debate?
