It's probably really flattering to get a work of art created in your name, but poor Melania Trump likely isn't feeling that way right now; the First Lady had a wooden statue erected in her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia and let's just say it looks...interesting. So interesting, in fact, that the internet has been having a field day in the roasting department and we can't say we really blame them!

Sometimes someone just comes along and gives us something that we would never have dreamed of, and right now it's this guy right here. He has done us an amazing service by providing his analysis on something we never even knew we needed, something that we are still pretty sure we don't need.
Regardless, it's here and it's indiscriminate of gender. As, in true internet form, this enlightened individual has provided us unnecessary insight into the asses of history.

This weird seagull statue (or would you call it a boobie?) resides in New Bedford, MA and the question of whether to keep the statue is pitting the town residents against each other.
There is one petition by a Raymond C. to remove the statue and a competing petition for Raymond to remove his petition.
While the original petition argues the statue makes the town look silly, the competing petition says it's as much a part of the town as any other art:
"New Bedford is so full of art and out of the ordinary things it would be silly to remove this glorious statue." .... "This man is just clearly uncomfortable by the female form and hates the art."

An update to the statue removal petition clarified itself after that backlash with, "I never said it wasn't art, but it is bad art."
The creator of this statue, Donna Dodson, has done many others, like this panda.

The so-called "Seagull Cinderella" as she titled the New Bedford piece was installed in 2012.

The statue will be inscribed with the words ‘I’m just a kid from Brooklyn’, a line of dialogue from ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’.
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of Captain America, Marvel just announced plans to unveil an enormous bronze statue of Captain America at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Cheers, Cap'n.
