Something my company collaborated on. Get involved!

Very poignant to me this morning as one of my guys had to tell me his cousin committed suicide over the weekend over a bad break up.

That photo looks like there's about to be a mass throw-a-gay-off-a-building by Isis. Not to take away from the very serious message behind it but that's the first thing that popped into my head.

Petition signed. I believe I read somewhere that one of the highest areas for male suicide is Manchester, so it’s a subject that’s close to home for me.

Figures standing on the edge of tall buildings reminds me of the states out on buildings by Anthony Gormley for his work entitled Another Place. At the time, it was criticised by people thinking it looked like people going to jump off (apparently the NYPD had to field a few calls triggered by this work when it went to the USA).

Quote:
Students criticise 'tactless' Antony Gormley statue of person standing on edge of roof
Students at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have criticised the placement of a sculpture of a man on the edge of their library roof.

Some have said the artwork, by sculptor Sir Antony Gormley, may be alarming to passers-by who mistake it for a real person – particularly if they think it is someone who may be about to jump off the building.

I find it interesting that pretty much identical works can trigger almost opposite reactions.
