Fug

Fess up. Who is the insane Red Sox fan that is bidding $8,250.00 (not a typo) for an 8 1/2 foot tall (also not a typo) reproduction of this:

Seriously? Stop the madness. What exactly would one do with a near-9 foot tall fugly fake Statue of Liberty plastered with Sox logos? Other than set it on the front lawn at Halloween to scare away kids.

I suppose it could be worse. The Sox statue is neither as fug as the Pirates one, nor as racist as the Indians one. Although neither of those teams have found any insane people to bid on those monstrosities… yet. There’s still 4 hours to go, though.

    Not me! Although I am guilty of buying almost anything with a Red Sox logo on it, this is one i’ll pass on.

    Like I have $8k…

    I’ve never been able to get past the Indians’ logo to actually like any of their players… but wow, the Pirates’ statue is making me gag.

    This must be the U.S. answer to Russian Sox nesting dolls. And you haven’t lived till you’ve seen Russian Sox nesting dolls.

    Russian Sox nesting dolls? ha.

    When I was in Germany, I saw a set of nesting dolls with world leaders on them. Interesting. that was around 20 years ago–wish I would’ve gotten them.
