Sergio Furnari said he thought the lifesize sculpture – which no one commissioned – would raise ‘millions’ of dollars

To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.

“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.

    “Things financially are a total, absolute nightmare. It’s like wow. People are cheap, man. You know, people talk, talk – I know lots of people out there, and everybody’s so cheap. You know, like, it’s disgusting how cheap they are.”

    The whole article is filled with gems like this and the exact right length for this sort of human interest piece about someone who is just trash.

    During a cost of living crisis this guy drops 100k+ on something no one asked for and complains that people are cheap.

    I get that people do own statues, but who exactly did he think was going to buy this? Anyone stupid enough to like this either in content or execution is too stupid to have the money to spend on it. Anyone rich enough to afford it could spend their money on things they actually like and don’t just pretend to. Not that intelligence and wealth appear to have anything to do with each other at this point, but this guy clearly doesn’t understand the way things work.

      He must be true MAGA, since he instantly blames everyone else for his own idiotic life decisions. I bet he spends the rest of his time preaching to people about responsibility.
