Actually I’m referring to the statue.........not what you said.

Just from the head size, that’s Revrund Al Sharpton.

What about African culture are they attempting to honor with this?

[Veto!]

this is a joke, right?

I am quite sure there are fine choices to honor African culture, but this ooga-booga
primitive statue doesn’t send a good message.

The front view is bad enough.....but the side view.......OMG.

On the twitter link somebody commented “I’d look like this too if I had to be in New York City!”

Lots of comments about African Culture. It is 54 countries - how can it have one culture? I don’t know - don’t we talk about European Art and stuff? That’s a bunch of different countries but you see certain styles of statues or art you can maybe guess that it is “European”.

Same goes for Oriental Art, and imho - African Art.

Of course I doubt that this statue is considered art in ANY culture.

Exactly.

That said, not too bad in my view.

I was pleasantly surprized.

[bimboeruption]

It looks like Stymie high on whatever...

[ealgeone]

Menthols.

[NWFree]

OJ Simpson in deep thought?

On the toilet?

[Berlin_Freeper]

For the first time I need a 3D printer.

[Jakarta ex-pat]

Is this what Obama’s son would have looked like?

[Rurudyne]

Apparently pagan idols are now all the rage.

Jobu?

Needs a machete.

[G Larry]

Exactly my first thought.

Here I sit, broken hearted.
Paid a dollar and only farted!

[Organic Panic]

So there is a statue of some kid with gigantism sitting on a toilet. What an abomination.

[TigersEye]

Is this the kind of thing that’s going to replace all of the Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, etc., etc. statues all around the country?

At least there’s a humor factor to it. :)
