Texas Town Unveils 'Selfie Statue' & Tweets Show People Aren't Happy

A 'selfie statue' has been erected in Sigar Land, Texas and locals are infuriated.

The bronze statue was donated by local artist Sandy Levin as one part of a 10-piece sculpture collection.

It's unclear whether the status is meant to be serious, cynical or satirical however residents are struggling to see any good in it!

So much history in Sugar Land but they put up a statue of two girls taking a selfie...

So is the city of Sugar Land expecting us to take pictures with that statue of 2 girls taking a selfie? I'm embarrassed for everyone.
