No, can’t have another white guy statue.
OH, MY, GAWD! What got into me?! These are both white people!!
What about the Green Giant?
The Samsonite Gorilla?
What really needs to be replaced are the a-holes in office who allowed it to happen.
Does this have anything with the new proposal to rename Columbus, OH “Flavorland?” I heard the famous chef Guy Fieri approves of it.
I vote for the Whirlpool Man since he sits around all day doing nothing...
OHIO PING!
