The Bugs Statue Can Go At The Spectrum
 |
In today's Daily News, a letter writer from Oreland comes up with some new statue ideas for the city and beyond:
WHAT A SURPRISE, the Rocky statue is going back to the Art Museum.
I have a few other suggestions for commemorative statues. Why not include Bugs Bunny and friends, they've sure made Philadelphians laugh over the years. Why not put Clark Kent in front of the Daily News building or King Kong in front of the Empire State Building?
I'm no expert, but artistically speaking, the Rocky statue is a piece of junk. The next time an aircraft carrier comes to Philly, we should strap the statue to a catapult and launch it into the river.
Silly letter writer. Everyone knows the next statue the city's putting up is one of Donald Duck.

Because only an aircraft carrier... uh... a catapult will... um... yeah, why do we have to wait for one to come to town?

"The next time an aircraft carrier comes to Philly, we should strap the statue to a catapult and launch it into the river."
Um, I realize this is besides the point, but why do we have to wait for an aircraft carrier to launch it into the river?
