bwahahahaahahahahahaha, what program did they render that in, and where did they find a 386 computer to run it on???

I think his great grandkids did it on MS Paint.

Must have been the Windows 95 version.

I lost respect for the family after they moved Popeyes headquarters to Georgia of all places. They know good and well that Al would have never gone for that.

OP title aside (I never like to see Copeland and erect in the same sentence), I think the cheesy statue would be fine with all the support money.

I'm not sure what you mean. Al lost Popeyes in bankruptcy in 1992.

This is pretty much the worst thing ever made.

so the artist renderings were released today, an boy does the statue look ridiculous.
Im fine with them putting a statue in the park if they go through with the donation to the park and build a stage etc, its much like getting your name on a building at a university, but at least make it a decent looking statue. This thing looks like a midget on a surfboard carrying a box of chicken.

First look at Al Copeland memorial design for Metairie's Lafreniere Park | NOLA.com

So they want the statue to exist in a world rendered by a Commodore 64 and populated solely by faceless Asian people? The two racing boats make it look like he has giant rocket robo-feet.

No problem....I just wasn't sure what you were trying to say.

(and yes, the statue looks horrible although it's slightly better than the earlier idea....very slightly)

I haven't seen rendering like that since Dire Straits.

before you said boat, I was studying that thinking he was wearing freakish scuba flippers or clown shoes.

Unless you put Christmas lights all over it, what is the point?
