As we proceed to tear down our nation’s monuments to outdated racists, we’re going to wish one thing to switch them with. As an alternative of Accomplice normal Robert E. Lee, may the web counsel … Oderus Urungus, late frontman of the Richmond metallic establishment GWAR?

Final week, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam introduced plans to take away a statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond. And after former GWAR member Danielle Stampe, aka Slymenstra Hymen, posted a Photoshopped picture of an Oderus Urungus statue as a replacement, a viral change.org petition started circulating to make that dream a actuality.

“Robert E. Lee is a failed warfare normal that supported a racist trigger. For too lengthy, town of Richmond has been displaying statues of him and different loser civil warfare veterans,” the petition reads. “We the scumdogs of the universe name on town of Richmond to erect a statue of nice native chief Oderus Urungus as a replacement. Whereas Oderus comes from the planet Scumdogia, he referred to as Richmond his residence, working with the native artwork neighborhood and using native artists and girls of the night time.”

The petition has already gotten over 30,000 signatures. And now it’s getting a lift from GWAR drummer/bleach-drinking advocate JiZMak Da Gusha, who visited the statue to drum up assist for Oderus Orungus. “There’s a petition to place GWAR on that horse as a substitute of Robert E. Lee,” he advised the gang assembled to graffiti the monument. “I strongly encourage that everybody signal that petition on-line. Fuck that man.”
