Replace Columbus With Danny DeVito!
The Issue
Are you an Italian-American who's sick and tired of the stereotypes, of constantly being associated with mobsters and villains? Right now, you have the chance to set the record straight.
Who would you rather have as a symbol of Italian exceptionalism in the United States:
Option A, Christopher Columbus: A child mutilating, rapist, slaver who never set foot on United States soil and committed his atrocities under a Spanish flag. Enough said.
Option B, Danny DeVito: A Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe winning actor, comedian, director, producer and screenwriter who is universally beloved by all. From his humble beginnings in Asbury Park, NJ where he overcame multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (Fairbank's disease) and beat the odds, despite his diminutive stature, to become a Hollywood leading man, Danny has been at the top of his field for nearly 50 years. Starring in such films and television series as One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Taxi, Romancing the Stone, Batman Returns, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia to directing and production work on The War of the Roses (in which he also starred) Hoffa, Reality Bites, Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, Gattaca, and Erin Brockovich, Danny DeVito is a true Italian-American Renaissance Man of the modern era.
Right now is your chance to show the world what you're made of by choosing a true Italian-American icon who represents you and your ancestors who came to this new world in search of the American Dream! Sign this petition to have every statue and monument of Christopher Columbus in the United States replaced with those of a true hero, our very own Danny DeVito!
