Ukraine may soon have rock hard porn star erected in the city of Odessa. Per Ukrainian law, any petition signed by more than 25,000 people must be considered by President Volodymyr Zelensky within 10 days.
The latest petition to cross his desk calls for the replacement of a statue of Russian empress Catherine the Great in Odessa with one of gay porn star Billy Herrington.
The petition lays out a series of reasons why the change should be made, some of which are just in good fun like suggesting it would be great for “memes” and that “all students of Odessa universities will be able to drink beer with Billy Herrington after receiving their diploma.” Not to mention it could be a major tourism boon. “The figure of Billy Herrington has a great cultural influence on the Internet and the appearance of such a monument will become a very popular tourist attraction,” reads the petition.
But more seriously, the petition notes that the replacement would be a “renunciation of the infamous Russian heritage and a loud statement that Odessa is not some provincial town of the Russian Empire.
