Speaking truth to hypocrites, douchebags, and the Hollywood elite. All three terms are interchangeable.
A life-size Oscar snorting cocaine showed up on Hollywood Boulevard Thursday morning, amid the bustle and hustle of preparations for Sunday’s big ceremony. This golden Oscar was on his hands and knees, preparing to snort two lines of cocaine using rolled-up bills. The caption: “Hollywood’s Best Party.”
Blink and you missed it, though, as the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, apparently wasted no time in ordering the statue outta there, according to media reports. The statue was whisked off by the team behind a Los Angeles street artist known as Plastic Jesus, the coke-snorting statue’s creator, those same reports said.
Plastic Jesus, who declined to disclose his legal name but described himself as an actor in his 40s, told MarketWatch via email that the statue is intended to “highlight the use of class A drugs within not on Hollywood, but society.” He said while everyone claims not to use the drug, it’s still a $40 billion business in the U.S. alone, indicating the world’s “ ‘war on drugs’ is clearly not working.”
“At the time of the Oscars many people attending the parties, either in Hollywood or at home with friends will indulge their passion for cocaine. To so many people this becomes a controlling factor in their lives,” he wrote.
