Nice that they are making more acceptable modern art, but I’m more practical I guess: I say melt em all down and make something appropriate, like bedpans or buttplugs or similar.
They’d be big sellers! “Crap on Robert E Lee! (after those tacos)”

While I do actually have two that are made of metal, they are of surgical grade steel and not the cheap potmetal these statues are inevitably made of. Don’t go around sticking that stuff into your body; who knows what sorts of allergic reactions that would cause!
Note that while there are two objects referenced in the quote, I’ve left it intentionally vague as to which one I’m referring. It’s certain to be a mystery!

Want to celebrate your European heritage™?
Sure, I’ll see you at Wurstfest for the polka, catch some Estonian folk-dancing, or catch up on Prague’s art scene.
Oh… wait, not that kind of heritage.

You get metal bedpans? The NHS ones are just made of cardboard, damn you socialised medicine!

I do know where to get metal bedpans, yes. The most common ones I’ve seen from hospital stays were plastic, though. It’s just not the same!
