Did anyone get a chance to see it?

Apparently an 8-foot statue of a lego man washed ashore in Siesta Key

I heard mention of Lego on the news as I was passing through my livingroom, but didn't quite here what lego they were refering to, just thought it has something to do with the new park, but when I saw your thread title, I couldn't stop laughing and I still haven't read the story. Too darn funny.

Though it could be a stunt to draw more attention to that park. Will go read story now.

Very sad story! But, at least he died with a smile on his face.

I'm assuming this was dropped off a boat, if so it looks like littering to me. Sorry if you all don't agree. Try running your boat into that at night, not pretty. I hope this was a well planned stunt, if not, the owner should be held responsible. It is illegal to dump plastic/fiberglass into the Gulf. I doubt the Coast Guard thinks it's funny.

Now if dropped at Siesta by land, not so bad.

It would be cool to find this, just not by accident with a boat.

Here is the site where you can read more about Ego the Lego Man. No real than you are
"The idea is NOT to lock this artwork away and then sell it on eBay! The idea is to take Ego to different local festivals and gatherings to foster a stronger sense of community. Leave it to Florida to mess this up. Look at the artists website for examples of how other communities treated Ego" - Evan Jones: No real than you are.
