Check out *Grand Theft Auto IV'*s slightly off-kilter version of the Statue of Liberty.
This is one of the greatest ridiculous gimcracks ever included with media mailings of a videogame, and I've seen a lot of them, so I should know.
The "Statue of Happiness" is a solid plaster-or-something replica of the famous monument, identical to the sort you'd buy if you took a trip to New York City, except it's Liberty City's bizarro-world version.
Note that instead of creating a ridiculous version of the statue, it's ever-so-slightly off. The face is more cartoony. The breasts are more pronounced, but not over-the-top. And it's a coffee cup in her hand. It's that sort of beautiful, subtle parody at which Rockstar is so adept.
I used to collect Statue of Liberty stuff as a kid. True story. This is going right over the fireplace.
