Expensive target practice dummy sat on that bench there...
HamSlamwich
Yeah...$100,000? I'm guessing the majority of that amount is "labor".

Proof the CK contributed nothing of value to society. Even for right wingers, all he was was an echo chamber for their shitty ideals, spreading fear and hate. They’ve had their moment of performative outrage over his death, but he is no longer of use to them so they have moved on.
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
Can I pay a dollar to pee on it?
Cataleast
It's almost as if it was all a facade. They didn't care then and they don't care now. Thoughts and prayers, buddy. Thoughts and prayers.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
He is in death as he was in life: worthless.

Not saying we’ll all get to have a similar chance with this, but here’s Rush Limbaugh’s real gravestone…
Daraanel
The fact that there were no donors willing to commission the statue should probably have been a signal that it wasn't really wanted by anyone.
Dunes8
Why does it look like the statue is holding in a fart?
HeHeHebieJeebies
Change it to a public urinal and donate a dollar to LGBTQ per use. Paid off in a day, maybe a long weekend.
corndude101
You mean Erica Kirk doesn’t miss her husband enough to want his statue?
Or TPUSA doesn’t want to honor their creator and put it in a memorial for him?
Man, it’s almost like they’re just trying to take advantage of a situation…
SalmonTheWise
Vance should buy it so has something to put in the cuck chair. But then he would get jealous of the chair...
corndude101
Maybe he could put it on his couch?
ChromePlatedEquator
I'd buy it for $10 and then film it being put in a car crusher.
Kwyjor
Afterwards you could probably find someone willing to pay you $100K for the crushed remains, I reckon – to be displayed alongside a recorded video of the crushing, of course. Art!
cousteau
I really want to turn it into a water fountain.
CapttainKillJoy
What a piece of crap. Artist seems like a piece of crap too.

The work is a window to the artist's soul.

Yeah, he didn't spend $100k on that thing, What a desperate goober.

Republican martyrs have exceedingly brief shelf life. Exactly one news cycle.

How do you spend 100k on that?
SuperfluousMeh
He hasn't even gotten 1% of his asking price 😂
gonzar09
You don't; you try to sell it for 100k after only spending 10k on it, and claim it was 100k worth of material and work.
plastikb0y
How do you spend 10k on that?
LitterBoxKing
He's berating people for being cheap after creating something that nobody wants? Sounds like peak MAGA to me.

nadorou
If he had made it as a fountain I imagine it might have been more successful
petonious
Have you tried pulling yourself up from the bootstraps? Did you cut out avacado toast? Did you send thoughts and prayers to your bank account? Did you ask your parents for a loan? You should join one of the armed services and get free college leading to a better job and more savings? All these things work.
TotallyNotASerialKiller
You gotta be a real dip shit to spend that kind of money making something like this without a buyer already lined up.
HamSlamwich
Thats $2k worth of raw materials. And that's generous.
adiving
I don't believe for a second that thing cost 100k. Dude is probably adding his hours to the amount at some insanely high hourly wage. Quick google says steel and resin... Not exactly gold there.
seehemewe
I was thinking if it was real bronze? But googled it and bronze looks to be a solid $4.10/lb, so even if it was $50k for raw materials, it would have to weigh over 12,000lbs, which I'm guessing would break that wooden bench.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Wow, very nice of him to create a public rest room.
seehemewe
And that is where he could've made his millions, taking it on tour charging people $50 to pee on the statue. But he has dug his own grave here as people aren't going to want to give him evening pissing money when the guy started his grift as pro-Kirk
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
I'd pay $10, no more.
seehemewe
Would you pay $10 if it is going to the pockets of Erika Kirk? I think he had a money maker *IF* he had started the whole thing as a way to piss on Kirk. Once it is out that his grift is to honor Kirk, I'd hope that people wouldn't be willing to give him even $0.10
seehemewe
But if you did $10 / 3min window to take a piss, and had the operation going 10 hours a day, that's $2k per day if you can fill all the slots.
Overhead for renting a location to set up at and travel expenses might mean you're only ("only") pocketing $1k a day
So you've broken even on the "$100k" "cost" to make the statue in under 4 months, but you can rake in $1m if you could keep it going for 3 years straight

I had a post get flagged and deleted because I called a transphobe a pedophile.
IHateTransphobes
It's usually true.
dingybasement350
The louder transphobes yell about how predatory trans people supposedly are the more I suspect said transphobe of being a pedo.
Elkku
Now why on earth... would you think that this is a good idea? a good way to spend all of your money?
tentacularfleshscape
Prolly cos his social circle all jerk each other off online and everyone told him how totally rad it is
FlatPlutoSociety
He just missed his window. If he'd been able to knock this thing out quicker, back when the right was still pretending to give a shit about Kirk's death, some group of freaks would've bought it. A year later, though? Everyone's moved on.
ChromePlatedEquator
Because he's an imbecile who thinks some other imbecile will buy it.
MakeItBackAlright
The grifters knew it was a grift, and the rubes were too poor
dingybasement350
It probably didn't cost anywhere near that amount of money he was just hoping to get in on the grift.
Scobragon
He saw how incredibly stupid MAGA voters are. What he didn't realise was MAGAts have no money.
SignedEpsteinsMother
They've given it all to Herr Drumpf. They have nothing left for the artist. Alas
keyblader1985
At least not THAT kind of money. Most MAGA folks who can throw that money around are on the top floor, and don't actually buy into it.
MarcUK
Artist didn't do their research and probably genuinely thought Kirk was a good guy. Use multiple sources people. :-)
SuperfluousMeh
Oh no I'm having flashbacks to Middle school, use multiple sources AHHHHHH! 😂
OtterlyMagnificent
Also probably didn't realize that actual artists who make $100,000 sculptures...get paid BEFORE they start working
Hexrowe
Just a grifter complaining that nobody's falling for his grift.
WorkerLurker
Italian thought he’d get millions by grifting a figure already dead to MAGA media cycles.
Andersen81
Either get in at ground level on the MML or you are just left with the short end of the stick.
Shaodyn
He missed the boat. You have to cash in on someone's death while people are still in shock that it happened. Once the five stages of grief run their course, you're left holding the proverbial bag.
Eyeetsass
That’s just a mark in their cult. They talk a big game to get a dipshit like this to spend their own money on an offensive prank of a statue, and then leave him twisting in the wind like they do with all their venues, and contractors.
georgejimmydoodle
He would have cleaned up if he hadn't waited a year.
slopwizard
To profit on this death someone would have to get out on stage with the pyrotechnics within days, before people forgot he existed. Absolute fail spending time making a dumbshit statue that looks more human than Charlie Kirk ever did
CandidGamera
It's so hilarious. It's like he noticed there was grifting going on in the magasphere and wanted in on it, but was too stupid to understand how a grift works. You don't grift by speculatively making a large investment of money and effort into a singular, relatively quality product (hey, I've seen worse statues. It's supposed to be an ugly mug, after all) months later. You immediately pump out a mass of low-effort slop and sell it at inflated prices to idiots caught in the momentary hype/frenzy.
marsilies
New College in Florida got press last year for announcing a planned statue, with an AI slop rendering. I can't find any info on it actually being made. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2025/11/11/new-college-kirk-statue-free-speech/87120508007/
Whodimi
Has he considered on selling it to people with the sole purpose to urinate on it? He could still do a tour. Give everybody a chance.
Einbrecher
Just a grifter *advertising* their grift. This quote alone reads like a challenge to some virtue signaling MAGA idiot that wants to prove how much they "believe" in Kirk and how not-cheap they are. Dude's probably gonna sell this statue within a month now.
CerisCinderwolf
I wouldn't say it's a grift because the product exists and buyer obtains it.
It's just pure and utter shit.
Hexrowe
Selling a shit product nobody wants at an egregiously inflated price is grift if you ask me.
yn7jy8s84v7
We have a Bingo!
Ardilla05
His “I’m not even MAGA” BS kills me. Fuck him.
ChelVanin
Tbf, I’ve thought about grifting maga for years.
marsilies
The way to do it is like how that Indian med student did it: fake AI female MAGA influencers. Very little upfront cost, and it can scale. https://people.com/ai-maga-girl-influencer-report-11957202
MadamPuddifoot
It's too bad I have morals, coz I'm deep in maga country and could be really well off of I didn't. These stupid fuckers.

Tell me more, what ways are you thinking about? Please only share if you're fine with me stealing your ideas tho
ChelVanin
Just sell them shit they will buy at an outrageous price. This ain’t rocket surgery.

Yeah tbf, if you have to ask what bullshit you can sell maga then it ain't happening.

Imagine that as a urinal. Water comes out of his neck to clean the piss off of it. The only challenge would be to get people to piss on his crotch and not his face.

The artist himself is a known Italian fascist

That's a bit of a redundant statement given that Italy invented fascism. Not saying anything bad about Italians, I just find the phrase amusing.
