Lucille Balls hometown, just outside Jamestown in western New York, erected a life-size statue to honor the beloved actress but now it has some explaining to do.
Many take issue with the sculptors unflattering depiction of the I Love Lucy star.
A self-described big fan of Lucys from Jamestown thinks the statue needs to be replaced with one befitting the comedy legend.
Lucille Ball was not only an amazing comedienne, but she was a stunning beauty. Her sense of humor only made her more beautiful, he said in an interview with Yahoo News. This statue looks nothing like the beautiful Lucy we all know. If for no other reason than that... the statue should go.

That thing is just wrong.
After giving it some thought, I figured-out they were trying to memorialize the hilarious ‘Vitameatavegimen’ skit.
But at first I thought it was a badly sculpted Harpo Marx holding a pint of ‘Rebel Yell’.
Beautiful image of Madame Thatcher.
I know one thing about you. It is wonderful that you call your mother, “Mother”. Times have changed haven’t they?
It's amazing how much different this looks compared to the sculpture. I must say though that she doesn't look very "pointy" in the video.
OMG, didnt know where that horrific statue pose came from till a FReeper posted the pic of Lucy and the cough syrup commercial .
Wonder if sculptor is same one who did statues at Kyle field in College Station TX. - “T#ts McGee” being the most infamous.
evidently.
the eyes on that statue...they are something else again...
obie wont be satisfied until his mug is added to Mt Rushmore
One would only hope the Lucille Ball sculptor, who must have been some town official’s nephew, wasn’t paid as much as the Thatcher sculptor.
Must have been an interesting marriage. Desi was pretty conservative.
