They’ve got a three-year itch.
A group of Palm Springs residents are fighting to remove a towering statue of Marilyn Monroe in one of her most iconic poses, arguing that the work is a sexist eyesore that blocks traffic.
On Feb. 23, the Art Newspaper reported, California’s 4th District Court of Appeals overturned a motion to dismiss a lawsuit by the Committee to Relocate Marilyn (Crema), which is battling to remove Seward Johnson’s 2011 sculpture “Forever Marilyn” from its current site outside the Palm Springs Art Museum.

Heaven forbid that beautiful straight white women be celebrated.
They want to replace it with a Stacy Adams statue in the same pose...
Ain’t enough granite in dis ‘hole world to make a statue of ol’ Miss Abrams like dat.
Occasionally someone will come along, and paint the statue’s hands red (for blood).
So at least one person in Seattle understands what a monster Lenin was.

Well, there is no question that Marilyn Monroe could stop traffic.
It is pretty risqué, being so huge so that anyone sees the underside from a good radius.
It’s just plain cheesy otherwise.
I would sign a petition to remove it. But I wouldn’t riot over it to try to tear it down.
Palm Springs was hijacked by the gay mafia a few decades ago. They must be chagrined and outraged over a statue of an attractive heterosexual woman who had mass appeal to millions of red-blooded, all American heterosexual men.
If the artist of the Marilyn statue had included a bulging penis under the dress then the gay mafia would have considered it high art and a city icon.
The Lenin is not huge. It’s life size. Sure it should be removed.
The Marilyn is huge, and that is the big problem. People automatically look up her dress.
[[“We serve over 100,000 school-age children that come to our museum every single year. What message does that send to our young people, our visitors and community to present a statue that objectifies women, is sexually charged and disrespectful?”]]
one has to wonder if these same protestors are just fine with trannies discussing their filthy lifestyles and sex acts with school kids-
It’s a statue, not a person. There probably isn’t much to ‘look up’ at.
I can’t wait until these crazies grow up and realize that they’ve taken every bit of joy and fun out of life - and finally regret it.
Mercy! That’s a whole LOTTA Marilyn!
They want to replace it with a Stacy Adams statue in the same pose..
......yes or Lightfoot lol.
Yeah, the faggots took over Palm Springs years ago.
Went there for dinner with my father-in-law around 20 years ago and it must have been bull dyke night.
I’m not a Monroe fan but idiots who have a problem with that statue really need to pack up and move to North Korea, Cuba or Mexico.
I’ve always found Johnson’s sculptures to be quite hideous.
Oh no the gay mob is having a hissy fit..
Old news this has been going for awhile.
