"wow that historic person was a robot"

"You have the cameras on the wrong person. Washington, if this is George Washington, would never do this to the American people."

"trompe l'oeil -This oil painting of the cameras added to the statue is so realistic in it's handling and presentation on the web, it confused me. I thought the person made a found art sculpture and submitted a photo of it. HA! I can't read the painterly expression, enough to detract from the total believability. Awesome commentary, too."

"this reminds me of the lincoln memorial its sad we have to add cameras to historical sites and statues to protect them"

"I do not like all the cameras that have been attached to this sculture, I sure if the Artist saw this he would be very upset"

"Looks nice and pretty, what is it?"
