GAHHH!!! Not… not cool. But what is it? Heartland operative “obfuscator” writes: “These photos were taken in Springfield, Illinois, maybe 20 yards away from the Old State Capitol… I have no idea what the fuck this thing is all about. The sign on the flatbed trailer transporting this grotesque monstrosity read: ‘obamatour.net.’” WELL THEN. Another picture of Obamzilla trying to destroy America’s whites, below.

I think we all remember these props from the end scene of “Animal House.”

rambone June 12, 2009 at 1:08 pm

They kept the ears lifesized, but what’s with the huge head?

Humpback June 12, 2009 at 1:09 pm

Actually, I think that might be the American headland.

SayItWithWookies June 12, 2009 at 1:10 pm

Who is that? It sort of looks like President Obama but there’s no halo.

Clearly, somebody stole this Icon from a mosque. Probably in Medina.

I am Obama MAN.

Is he from Kenyan?
Is he Muslin or a Jew?
Can he speak at all,
Or he a teleprompter?
Is he librul or a Red?
Has he become a giant head?
Well just pass him there
Why should we even care?

C’mon gang- Let us NEVER FORGET that Obama is HALF-WHITE. That’s right, he is half-cauc’ed. But in this ginormous bust he is FULL BLOWN WHITE. Why can’t you fuckers be satisfied?!

This is going to the Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah’s going to come plowing out of the paper mache Obama head as a publicity stunt to boost the prez’s approval ratings.

In the first photo, I was glad they buried him up to his neck and chained his head to the ground. Then in the second photo, I see he’s been safely decapitated. But then I remembered that He will rise again.

I’m scared.

[re=337698]mrsixinch[/re]: The Zardoz list, more formally known as the Security-Digest list, was a famous semi-private full disclosure mailing list run by Neil Gorsuch. Written, produced, and directed by John Boorman,it stars Sean Connery, Charlotte Rampling, and Sara Kestelman.

And I think I speak for all of us in asking you to refrain from making these excessively complicated references in the future.

With the exception of Chicago, that giant statue is touring the whitest parts of the US with the exception of Idaho.

The picture of the trailer with the giant head at a gas station is sacrilege. You saw the hieroglyph, soon the giant statue will be done and you will acknowledge his greatness or face the plague of Rahm.

Doesn’t really look like him but it’s better than the political cartoons that make him look like 1/2-black Nixon. Both times I read the link as obamator – like some form of raptor. I was very disappointed upon click-thru.

Pals & I watched it looong ago under the influence of, uh, something we didn’t inhale & thought it was A-MAZING (I think what we didn’t inhale musta been the A-MAZING thing). Then saw it together a coupla years later w/out said enhancement; watched fer like 20 min, looked at one another & laughed like hyenas at our idiocy… and then turned it off. Dumb flick but get reference. I now haz a sadz…

desertwind June 12, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Heh! I actually know what this is. I recognize the hair-treatment.

Some sculptor guy (in the South?) has a big field (in the Midwest?) littered with giant American president busts and he was just truckin’ his Obama there and decided to stop by the cradle of democracy on the way.

Or something.

desertwind June 12, 2009 at 2:24 pm

Oh nutz. One of the few times I exercise my rights as a Wonkette citizen and actually comment….

I know citizenship is a duty not a right. Or something. So irresponsible not to click the link first.

lawrenceofthedesert June 12, 2009 at 2:43 pm

Well, it’s about time they got around to sprucing up that old run-down Sphinx; it has gotten downright unrecognizable and contributed to the lack of proper landscaping in the neighborhood. This new, slightly less enigmatic statue will perk up the pyramids, no question.

Lionel Hutz Esq. June 12, 2009 at 2:47 pm

What? You haven’t gotten your local head of Obama? It is part of the transfer to DTV. They install one in each neighborhood, and you get great television. And, if you say anything bad about his policies, lasers shoot out of this eyes and destroy your house. I’m sure one will be installed near you soon.

NoWireHangers June 12, 2009 at 2:51 pm

It’s not Obama; where’s the signature mole that he has by his nose on the left side of his face (our right). You learn things about Barry when you spend hours a day watching HuffPo slideshows of the first family. SHOW US THE MOLE!

Ha ha, I have actually BEEN to President’s Park or whatever. It’s in South Dakota, near Deadwood. I went on a two-day snowmobiling trip, and our rental place operated out of President’s Park (http://www.presidentspark.com/wintersports).

We did not actually go out on the walk, because it was like $5 or something.

Don’t give it all up on the first date, make ‘em slaughter some wingnuts to prove their Overlordism, please, you’re making all the good Overlords think we’re too slutty to bother with.

It’s for the first of two statues at the head of the Mississippi River, welcoming our Canadian brothers to this part of Middle Earth.

[re=337808]desertwind[/re]: What, none of you suck-egg-dog, nigger-lovin’ New York Jew liberals have heard of the great Texian artist David Adickes? He has been working away here in the Diamond Buckle of the Sunbelt for decades. We have the 67-foot tall statue of Sam Houston along the I-45 freeway near Huntsville, execution capital of the USA, to prove it, plus other awful stuff like a giant telephone and the complete set of presidential giant heads in Houston. Since you’ve all been too busy hatin’ on America to study great art, check out the interview with a crafts Website at: http://www.thegardenartforum.com/sb/index.php?mod=content&id=94&hid=30&itemid=
