They could probably use these, but they have to find a way to transport them to beantown.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS — In honor of Dr. King and Coretta Scott King, artist Hank Thomas has unveiled a 20ft statue of the two hugging called the 'The Embrace'. Unfortunately, the artist was only able to afford to make a statue of their arms embracing and now a GoFundMe has been put together to raise money to complete the sculpture to include their heads and torsos.
According to the GoFundMe listing, with just $10 million they can add torsos, and with $10 million more they can sculpt their faces. The listing urgently requests everyone come together and help him finish this prematurely unveiled statue.
"PLEASE donate ASAP to complete this statue! Anything you can put towards this is greatly appreciated, as it helps it not look like I made a disrespectful sculpture of arms holding some kind of mysterious fleshy appendage," said artist Hank Thomas on the GoFundMe page. "With your contributions, we can finish my work and honor the great legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.."
"It's just hard in Biden's economy," added artist Hank Thomas. "Nowadays you can't even complete a simple sculpture with just $10 million dollars. The price of bronze has just skyrocketed beyond belief!"
At publishing time, GoFundMe announced that this was the fastest-ever fundraiser to hit its goal in the site's history as Americans of all races came together to finally make a beautiful piece of art to honor MLK Jr.
Perfect.
Just needs the two testicles...
Should be cheap...
LeBron will pay for the new look!
I thought it was funny when I thought it was referring to that official piece of garbage in DC (which was featured on local DC news today when I was down there eating).
Someone described it as someone trying to hold up Shaq’s junk.
Several of us on another thread independently thought it looked like a man trying to shove his head up his own butt.
They should allow “graffiti artists” to volunteer to complete it.
It looks like the creature in the John Carpenter movie The Thing. If not, it looks like arms embracing a big poop....
What do you want for 10 Million ? Heads ?
$10bucks to tear that sucker down...
I thought it is a sculpture of one of those big hand characters with his head up his bum.
It looks like someone holding a large eel. I must say the hands are well done. As for the rest .... ugh.
