Julian Assange Trying To Raise Nearly $200k For a Statue of Himself

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-out-my-statue dept.

Rei writes Julian Assange, from his refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy, has recently taken to Twitter to try to raise nearly $200,000 for a life-size bronze statue of himself. The statue would have him standing front and center between Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning (with Manning pictured as male); the art piece would be then shipped around the world on tour.

    Perhaps someone should introduce Julian to Marcus Porcius Cato.

    Holy shit what a fucking insightful opinion. Mod parent to 5! Nobody else thought this initially and had the bold cavalier mental fortitude to just fucking post it... without wondering if there's really any truth to this.
