Third Entry

Third entry: The Pope's statue

So someone thinks that making a gigantic statue of the late pope John Paul II is a good idea. Appratenly, not asking the neighbours is an even better idea! So, basically, what I know is that someone wants to make this colossus right in front of our university but didn't think that asking our opinion was worth his time, and now everyone's angry. Personally, I'm against the statue, I mean, I love the pope (who doesn't?) but I don't like the idea of him looking down on me every time I try to cheat during an exam. That's the kind of thing that drives people crazy.
I imagine this architect writing a letter to the mayor, asking for permission. If I were the mayor I would send that letter right back at him with a big fat "NO" written in bold red letters. And a video of myself saying "no" just to avoid any confusion.

Now, I don't know any technical details about the statue (I could use google but I'm lazy), but from what I heard the statue is a monstruosity of about the same size as Godzilla, and I simply can't be comfortable knowing that this giant will be in front of the university. For all I know, the statue is actually a robot and the current pope will use it control the local population (that's what a piope does, right? I have no idea).

On the bright side, though, if we do end up with this statue in front of us maybe God will love us and I'll manage to get better grades.
