    lmao, rather than install in time square, they literally just unveiled it there from the back of a $19 an hour rental truck.

    That is exactly what I thought it was. I can see it on Itch now: Charlie's Revenge. It looks all spooky but is probably just another badly made anomaly game with a jump scare or two.

    The guy claimed it cost him a fuck ton of money and thought someone was going to immediately buy it even though he unveiled it close to a year after the vultures had moved on.

    I almost cried from laughing at this. I read they were going to do this yesterday and was expecting something totally different so opening the actual picture was too much.

    I believe so.

    Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise “millions” of dollars. Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.

    This statue is like a real-life Tilly Norwood in that it has a mystifying ability to get news coverage despite not being newsworthy whatsoever.
