Talk me down, please.

I learned yesterday that the newly MAGAtized, Hillsdale South, new New College of Sarasota, FL, has plans to put a statue of Charlie Kirk on it's campus in 2026. Now all I can think about is how to superglue googly eyes on the face, and a condom in the outstretched hand of the statue.
This is madness--I mean the googly eyes/condom thing. Of course the erection (snort) of a statue to Kirk on the campus of a formerly outstanding liberal arts college, which was consumed to satisfy the greed and "let's teach those libs whose in charge" nastiness of DeSantis and the scavengers in his wake, is heinous. But in 2026 who'll have time to spend raising bail and finding a lawyer willing to take my case (I will be guilty, after all). All hands will be needed to protest, call useless FL legislators, raise awareness about the Dem candidates who must win to save American democracy.
So--maybe this is the wrong forum, but thoughts of that statue, horrifying as it will be on its own, defaced with GOOGLY EYES and a CONDOM---stop me, someone, please!

Miss Polly would stand on her front legs upside down and squirt way up there, marking another proud moment.

hmmm, maybe scatter LOTS of bird seed around, and hope the monstrosity gets covered in bird droppings.

"New College of Florida Plans Statue of Charlie Kirk...The Sarasota school is commissioning a privately funded monument to the slain activist as other campuses weigh tributes following his murder in Utah."

"New College of Florida has unveiled plans to erect a statue of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on its Sarasota campus, citing donor interest and requests from members of its community. The privately funded monument is slated for completion by the end of 2025, though its final location on campus has not been selected."

"It is not clear who the donors are, or whether support came from alumni, the general public, the board of trustees or faculty. The approval process, the cost and the artist and how they will be chosen were not revealed at this time."

They'll be scrubbing graffiti off that table top for as long as that "statue" is there.

5. Real men like Kirk don't use condoms. They strive to spread their seed and populate the Earth in their own image.
