Keeper of the Clown Bell

Once you’ve seen it, who could ever forget Lucy getting sauced on Vitameatavegamin in her side-splitting omen regarding the emerging drug war. It’s funny – it’s even profound if you look at it the way I do – and it resonates down through the decades. In 2009 the Vitameatavegamin moment, which has been rerun a bazillion times, was immortalized by sculptor Dave Poulin and the folks in Celoron, NY have been scared to look truth in the bronze eye ever since. The great artist himself knows the reason why:

The sculptor responsible for the “frightening” Lucille Ball statue that’s been terrorizing local residents is now offering to fix it for free, admitting it is “by far my most unsettling sculpture.”

Well, I’ll let you be the judge of that:

Now the outrage has “gone viral” and the people of the earth are demanding this statue be removed and replaced – poor Mr. Poulin has even offered to “fix” it at his own expense. Fix what?
