There are a lot of strange things about this life-size bronze statue in Celeron, New York. The strangest thing is that it is supposed to be Lucille Ball, though it looks nothing like her nor any other human being. Also strange is that it has been there for six years when the city should have refused it from day one. Strange also is that visitors pose with it which makes one wonder why they would want to be seen with anything so ugly, especially if they are Lucy fans, which most people are. What's not strange is that the residents of Celeron want this monstrosity removed, a.s.a.p. and replaced with a statue that does justice to one of America's most beloved comediennes. And finally what's really, really strange is many Celeronians have suggested they would like the original artist to create the replacement. Can anyone splain that to me?
