Yer Sunday Funny – Revenge Thru Art
In the Detroit, MI, area a marriage ended. Reportedly the lady involved found someone she liked better than her husband, had an affair, and then moved in with her new paramour. Somewhere along the way, she and her ex-husband divorced.
Somewhat understandably, her ex-husband wasn’t exactly thrilled with this turn of events. He (a) decided he wanted to get even, and (b) had some spare cash.
So he did the following:
- bought the house next-door to his ex and her new beau;
- moved in next door;
- purchased a 12’ statue; and
- had said statue set up in his back yard, with floodlight illumination.
The statue the ex-husband chose was, shall we say, somewhat interesting. It was a statue of a human hand – making a gesture using one digit. It wasn’t the “thumbs-up” gesture, either. You can probably figure the rest out sans further details. (smile)

heh… that’s awesome.
Awesome, yes.
But I think I would spent the money making sure she didn’t get any of it in alimony.
THEN I would’ve sat back and laughed, sipped my drink, and smoked my cigar.
Saw something akin to this in Baltimore County. Maryland serveral years ago. A fellow had a huge witch which represented his ex-wife. It relected more on the the guy’s idiocy and selfishness than it did on his ex wife. It’s bad enough to air one’s dirty laundry. It’s quite to soil it in public. I see that the Michigan guy owns three strip clubs. Why does this not surprise me?
While this event is true, it also shows just how truly bad local news reporting is – as the number of phonies who show up on the local news also indicates.
In this case, the location of house and at the start of the article is “Orchard Lake”, a community northwest of Detroit. The owner of the home with the statue, indeed a strip club mogul, formerly lived in Grosse Point, a suburb northeast of Detroit. This according to an article published in other local internet media a month ago.
The article text on the local news says these events happened in Bloomfield Hills, another northwest suburb. All these communities have high-end homes and wealthy residents. Why the local news producer decided to slam Bloomfield Hills for no reason I can’t explain. But it just goes to show that … well, let’ put it this way. I would rather read news produced by an airline pilot than ride in a plane controlled by a news producer.

This guy owns multiple strip clubs but cannot find replacement for a cheating wife….. Tell him to step AWAY from the crack pipe and surrender his car keys.
Childish.
Can’t find much else to say about it that’s adult or mature.
Jacobite:
Agreed. Still thought it was rather funny, though. And IMO it would have been just as funny had the roles been reversed (e.g., a male “player” and a wronged female spouse buying the house next door and erecting the same statue).
When you decide to blow up your life, it’s best to move far enough away that the debris doesn’t end up in your yard. Or next door, for that matter.
There is a superficial resemblance to The Great Gatsby in this story. Which is not worth exploring.
