more on the charlie chaplin statue: it was illegal too

mar 23rd, 2009

 

i have just found that the famous charlie chaplin statue that some joker wanted to build (67 feet high, that's six floors high) was within 300 meters of the beach, there is a strict ordinance in the Coastal Regulatory Zone ordinance that disallows any permanent structures closer than 500 meter from the beach.

 

so not only was this ridiculous and stupid, it was illegal too.

 

of course, none of this mattered to the ELM taliban who made such a fuss about it.

 

i still fail to see how a gigantic statue of a white guy clown was going to be of any value, esthetic, cultural or otherwise. it was simply going to be an eyesore, and i think it was a deliberate attempt by this joker hegde somebody to get some attention. and part of the kkkangress' continuing attempts to destabilize the bjp karnataka government.
