So who should it be? We need a statue of someone who represents a young, energetic America. I nominated that weird ShamWow guy.

A trending online petition is calling for a statue of Christopher Columbus in Cleveland, Ohio, to be replaced with a figure honoring the life of Chef Boyardee.
The recent Change.org appeal is urging Cleveland City Council to remove the statue of the controversial explorer located in Tony Brush Park, in the Little Italy neighborhood, and erect a statue of Ettore (Hector) Boiardi in its place. The pitch has since received over 2,600 signatures.
Boirardi emigrated from Italy at age 16, later moving to Cleveland and opening a restaurant, WKYC reports. His sauce was so popular that he began bottling it for sale, which grew to become the Chef Boyardee brand of pasta and sauces today.

Not only was he a real person, he actually looked liked the picture on the spaghetti can. No joke, check out the commercial from the ‘50s in one of the posts above.

Snoopy would be far better than that carrot-headed hairball Lassie.
I hate collies ever since one on my paper route would bite me about twice a week.
My dad gave me a big squirt gun full of ammonia and I never had a problem with that bastard again.
We have a Bigfoot statue in my town.
How about this person?
I think we are going to see a lot of silly suggestions, such as the one in Richmond for a statue of some dead musician who looked like a demon from hell. A number of years ago Fort Wayne, Indiana built a new city government center and decided to take suggestions from the public on what to name it. The name of former mayor Harry Baals won hands down. Of course, they city didn’t use his name, but if they start tearing down stuff in Fort Wayne, I wouldn’t be surprised to see his name pop up for a replacement statue.
“I’m up for a really big statue of The Jolly Green Giant.”
You mean big Mike Brown, ‘The Jolly Ho Ho Ho Teen Giant’?
Already done in Blue Earth, MN :)
Let’s honor Crap in a Can.
The upper middle class white children are having their spasm of pre adult lunacy. However when they come to the point where Mommy and Daddy are no longer in a position to fund them, the lunacy tends to stop. Blacks themselves have already realized the nihilistic, Marxist nature of BLM, and are refusing to sign on to the insanity especially since it means conceding their suddenly underpoliced neighborhoods to the tender mercies of the thugs and gangs. Trump may very well receive as much as 30% of the black vote on election day.
The only Italian from history that most kids today know is Rocky Balboa.
He got famous by beating up on a black guy, so can’t have a statue of him.
Are they going to remove the statue of Columbus from Columbus?
"ALLRIGHT, ROCKO!!!!!!"
“Let’s honor Crap in a Can.”
Shinola?
I swear I thought this was from Babylon Bee.............
NOT Bab Bee?
He was also the head chef at the Plaza Hotel in New York for a time.
Rocky has a statue in Philly at the top of the steps he ran up in the movie.
Ah, thanks for the correction!
Its because we have cowards in positions of leadership.
