Gay Statue Eaten by Fake Shark
A funny link

When the ritzy California beach community of Cardiff-by-the-Sea spent $120,000 on a surfer statue, they created a lighting rod for pranks (even more of a lightning-rod than a fifteen-foot bronze statue normally is). They presumably also wondered, "We spent how much on a what?"
Although he looks more like he's casting a pink-glitter magical spell in a ballet academy than surfing, the "Magic Carpet Ride" statue was almost immediately renamed the "Cardiff Kook," as he became ground zero for more pranks than the boss's chair in a whoopee cushion factory.
Fear not, townspeople, the Sexually Ambiguous Luchador shall save you!
Behold, as my fancily effeminate grip impossibly supports a parasol!
But these were recently blown away by pranksters who asked themselves, "How do you get rid of a fake surfer? BUILD A FAKE SHARK."
He didn't even have any bass music to warn him. (Not that he could have run away.)
The massive wooden-skeletoned-predator appeared one morning, with an unknown group working through the night to erect the joke Jaws. Local residents say this is the best statue prank yet, and they can't wait to see how the next will outdo it.
Nor can we.
Must ..... reach ..... red swimming trunks!
And now the link:

That's awesome. We go on vacation to that town every few years, and the statue is every bit as gay in real life.
The town is awesome, though. My brother got married just up the road from that statue. (To a WOMAN.)

The last time Jaws got erect that quickly James Bond nearly lost an eye.

Well, if they didn't look so funny when they were surfing then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Oh, I thought that said "you big-toed piece of rotten monkey Shakespeare".
I was going to say that Trixie was using "big-toed" as a pejorative.

My suggestion for a one-up: Wrap the statue and board in aluminum foil, and erect a 30-foot-tall Galactus behind him.

I like the aluminum foil idea, but could he hold a microphone in one hand, and a dog turd in the other?
