Here is an interesting use for LEGOs.

"NEW YORK (AP) - A controversial Jewish Museum art exhibit that includes
Nazi imagery, including a concentration camp built from Lego blocks, will
carry a warning sign...The exhibit, "Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery/Recent
Art," is scheduled to open March 17. In addition to the Lego concentration
camp, the show includes a piece in which an artist has inserted a picture of
himself with a Diet Coke can into a photo of prisoners at a concentration
camp, and another in which poison gas canisters have designer logos."

I haven't had a chance to search for images of this exhibit online.  If
anyone else finds them before I do, post the link.
