As if being the disgraced mayor of the cosmopolitan metropolis of Flint, Michigan AND an ex-con wasn't enough, this guy adds megalomania into the deal.

DAVISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The former mayor of Flint, Mich., who resigned in 2009 while facing a recall has erected a bronze statue of himself outside the gated entrance to his home.
The Flint Journal reports (
http://bit.ly/SpEobl ) that the statue of Don Williamson in Genesee County's Davison Township, near Flint, is surrounded by six bronze lions.
On the base of the statue are the words: "The Colonel's Inc. Founded by Donald J. Williamson May 10, 1984. His motto 'Success is the best revenge.'"
Williamson says the statue was made 20 years ago and was originally displayed at The Colonel's Inc., the auto parts firm where he made his fortune.
Williamson says the lions were imported by his wife. Of the lion statues, he joked: "Careful, one of them is alive."

If you could afford to have a bronze statue of yourself installed outside the gated entrance to your home wouldn't you?

No. I'd invest the money in something worthwhile like a SeaDoo.

Nobody with a gut that large and protruding should have a statue made of himself.

Bugger !
I think it's too late to cancel.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

That statue looks like it could easily be revolving and sustain its own moon.

Indeed so, after all look how people have been lured by its gravitiational pull.
Attention seekers want attention, they do not care if it good bad or vicarious, as long as they are the subject.

I may commission a giant statue of myself built of empty gin bottles...
It will possess a certain form of artistic licence, but will still, in a deeply semiotic sense, be me...
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!
