Our postmodern architects figured they haven’t littered our once-beautiful cities with enough towering trash. So they’re replacing all of the statues of American heroes they’ve torn down over the past few years with DEI statues of fictional fat women. 

New Yorkers passing through Broadway can now look up to see a 12-foot tall Letitia-James-lookalike, pouting at them with her hands on her hips. 

Dubbed "Grounded in the Stars," the statue is supposed to resemble a “shared humanity,” offering “a unique opportunity to experience Times Square in a new light,” according to her creator Thomas J. Price, who compared himself to Michelangelo. 

Instead, her saggy boobs and giant F.U.P.A  loom over pedestrians like a dark cloud, encapsulating nothing other than the industrial misery and malaise plaguing modern-day Manhattan.

Artists like Michelangelo, after all, are revered centuries later, because their creations were larger than life. But striving for excellence is considered problematic to Price, who complains that ideal places too many white men on a pedestal. 

His towering F.U.P.A, therefore, “disrupts traditional ideas around what defines a triumphant figure” by celebrating mediocrity. 

But not to worry. This eyesore is a temporary exhibit, and will only be displayed until June 17, to make room for the next piece of crap that likely replaces it. 

It could be worse. Your eyes could be burned by a 20-foot tall turd displayed permanently.
