In a move that has left many a jaw-dropped, the Biden administration has announced plans to install a giant statue of George Floyd in the White House front yard. The statue, which is expected to rival the height of the Washington Monument, is already causing a buzz around the Beltway and beyond.
“I believe in big symbols for big changes,” President Biden declared during a press conference. “And this statue is going to be yuge!”
The announcement has been met with a mix of astonishment, chuckles, and head-scratching. Critics are questioning both the size of the statue and the choice of location.
“Is the White House lawn now going to become a sculpture garden?” asked one incredulous pundit. “And why stop at George Floyd? Why not add a colossal Greta Thunberg or a towering Malala Yousafzai?”
Others have expressed concern about potential landscaping challenges. “Where will they put the Christmas tree?” queried a concerned citizen. “And what about the annual Easter Egg Roll? Will children have to navigate around George’s ankles?”
Despite the questions and controversy, the Biden administration remains undeterred. “We’re making a statement here,” said an unnamed White House source. “And that statement is: We’re not afraid to go big. Literally.”
Meanwhile, the statue’s sculptor, renowned for his work on other monumental pieces, is reportedly thrilled at the prospect of working at such a grand scale. “A forty-foot George Floyd? It’s the commission of a lifetime!” he exclaimed.
As the news circulates, America waits with bated breath to see how this monumental decision will pan out. Whether you view it as an audacious statement or a landscaping nightmare, one thing is clear: when it comes to making a point, size definitely matters for the Biden administration.
