If only folks could see eye to eye! If they would meet in the middle, they’d have a unibrow.

Tired: Googly eyes on Revolutionary War monuments.
Wired: Enameled red clown noses welded onto Confederate war memorials.

Looking at the photo of it, I agree. But I can imagine myself in the following context: I’m walking along near the statue. I’ve seen it before – perhaps many times – and it’s become ubiquitous to the point where it’s become invisible. Then I look up and…
… that’s when I bust out laughing.

I do think that the fact the he was a Revolutionary War commander, and not a Confederate Civil War commander, makes some small amount of difference here. I think if he were CSA, he would be more fair game.
something can be hilarious and a great political statement and still a crime, alas, i never get why they always have the need to insist any crime is “not funny” because that simply is not true.
in this case i say a forgivable crime if done in a way that is easily removed and doesn’t damage property, because it has artistic, humor, and political merit and makes a statement.
i could see how this is going to get old if you work at a park and every ahole who thinks they are clever and sees this shit on instagram copies it on any statue…

This picture reminded me of that scene of the movie " Interview with the vampire", when the short vampire was explaining the new vampire powers to the tall vampire (vampiresplaining?) Suddenly a statue opens its eyes and faces the two bloodsuckers.

Looks like someone’s holding a gun up to it:
"Yam I under arrest?

surely it is potty humor, no? 
isn’t it time we all lay to rest the myth that base/crass/lowbrow humor is LESS funny?
it is people who complain about other people’s humor that are the real experts on what is funny.

“Low” doesn’t mean it’s not funny.

Googly eyes are almost always funny, and do no real damage.

Ah yes, the “becoming a vampire is like getting really high, but then when it wears off you’re left sitting in a decaying Louisiana mansion for eternity with your dealer” scene.
Anne Rice was pretty weird, and that movie was startlingly faithful to some of her weirdness.

Oh come on, seeing that picture caused me to laugh out loud, a rare occasion during this time of darkness.
