Here's another challenge then. What does this mean?



If a Nazi flag is just a Nazi flag then this must just be a bathroom fixture, right?

KKK? I'd be against. Unless you want to say that you support their actions and policies.
I don't have any black friends, or any white ones either but that's beside the point.

Burning cross = I like fire and thought it was a beautiful symbol just like a prominent red nazi flag, just like my anarchist symbol.

It definitely looks like one... I don't think many people are going to be crossed if you use that as an avatar

But I don't think many people will see it as "just a urinal" either.

Without checking the link--it looks like a urinal that's mounted to piss on you.

Is it worth a lot of money?

I'm sure i'd run into that urinal before, and just forgot. I read that it was declared the " most influential modern art work of all time" in 2004. link_BBC Since 'all time' is still in progress, I think the title presumes too much....
