It's a decent likeness, but somehow not quite creepy enough.

I wouldn't pay money or travel to see it, but if I happened to walk by it and I was sure of not catching a charge, I'd probably be willing to stop and piss on it.

    His weird body is the creepy part of this statue. It looks like his body is underwater and you’re viewing it from above the surface in the way that makes it look squashed.

    Ah. I looked at the second picture in the article.

    Torso is too short.

    I'd still be willing to piss on it.

    Edit: Looking at it again, I still think the creepiest part about it is it looks like Charlie Kirk.
