| Comment | > So here's the question - if the cone was made permanent or the council adopted its maintenance and safety and was the only organisation allowed to change it (even if they supported people in changing it by having a cherry picker day once a month or permanent steps up to the statue), would that suck the remaining spontaneity and anti authority symbolism from the cone? I'm guessing yes. Doesn't mean there wouldn't be a cone on his head and all the marketing associated with it, but it would feel different knowing it's officially council maintained.
I await the youth of future generations regularly removing the Official Cone (which, with the advent of self-driving vehicles that have no need or regard for such things, has to be custom-made), and the resulting tutting and letters-to-The-Herald from our generation, derogatorily described as "reddit das" or "cone guards". |
