Really takes off from the headline...

Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise “millions” of dollars. Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture.

To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.

“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.

RIP Luis Jimenez, sculptor of “Blucifer”.

Stick it in a pay toilet and you can still make your money back.

Make a Trump statue as well and you'd have the start of a pay toilet sculpture garden. World's first!
