Many US statues pulling up stakes

(Richmond, VA) A vast cross-section of sculptures, effigies, figurines, bronzes and even some busts are off to greener pastures for fear of being toppled, disfigured or defaced in the suddenly trendy, anti-racist frolic here in the US.

Most of those at risk are headed to Easter Island where they have been granted temporary refugee status. Some other statues are reportedly steaming toward Kampuchea, Venice and the Colossus of Rhodes.

International icons such as Peter the Great, the Little Mermaid and a glut of Buddhas say they are sit-in it out hoping the massacre will not paddle across oceans into their domains.
