[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [Bizarro_UltraZine] 9-foot bronze statue of BEWITCHED Samantha causes controversy...

It's almost unspeakably vulgar - sort of like putting up a big statue
of Colonel Klink from Hogan's heroes in auschwitz - no, make that
jeruselem.

but the salem people deserve to have this stuffed down their throat,
because in many ways they have trivialized the state sponsored,
terrorist murder of those people.

what next? a statue of Bomb Voyage (from the Incredibles) at the site
of theTwin Towers? You betcha, good fun, harmless and pleasant to the
eye and to the touch
