I think the fist is bizarre and not in a good way. It's so creepy, this dismembered arm, a real Andy Warhol/John Waters work.
Isn't there another building in Detroit the idiot corporation could put their advertising on? Why do they have to cover up an existing mural?
That said, I think the mural shows how little we value architecture and art. It shows me that our civilization is in decline that we resort to the temporary nature of his murals to dress up an beautiful, but abandoned[[?) building. I still like whales, though.
