No kidding, it's not even good. You could just burn the fat off a politician and get that.

The phrase "a fool and his money are easily separated" comes to mind.

Hey folks, that's ART, you know!
(I mean the 'walking man 1', not Sarah Palin )
The creator of this pseudo-human was Alberto Giacometti, one of the most famous Swiss sculptors. He made lots of those matchstick men (and even dogs!) - and for some reason this junk collection was declared as art. Oh well...
Paying over one million for something like that - IMO, the (anonymous) buyer really must have too much money - or too less brain.
