Congratulations to our Queens Crap mascot for finally being named. The poll was up for a week, and with more than 200 ballots cast, "Crap-O-Sphere" ended up with 40% of the vote. Crappy (that's his nickname) jumped out to an early lead, although late competition came from "Johnny Loo," "Friedrich Fedders" and "QUEENs on the THRONE." The original leader of the pack held on to win, however, and now Crap-O-Sphere is the official name of the Queens Crap mascot! (We figured the Quinns and Crowleys amongst our readers might take offense at the name "Crap O'Sphere" so it was slightly modified.)

How adorable! Reminds me of the Pillsbury guy. Does he make a loud crapping sound when you push his tummy?
Maybe someone out there, who's got the talent, can model "Crappy" into a 3 dimensional statuette.....like an "Emmy".....and we can use it to award our yearly nominees, bestowing upon the deserving in each different category a "Crappy" award! For instance: This year the "Crappy" for the the "ugliest tear-down replacement" goes to "The XXXXXX Development Company"! Gee, just like Hollywood! Maybe we can announced these at a spring press conference on the steps of Queens Borough Hall!
Some real merchandizing potential here. How about:
A plush Crappy doll for next Christmas - something for the kiddies.
Crap-globes. Like a snow globe, with crappy inside on his toilet, and little brown flakes floating in there instead of white.
Oh my! Oh my! Are we making fun of that tiresome relic that so gives Queens the image that 'we are the world?' You are walking on dangerous turf!! That monument is sooooo Queens that by making fun of it you are bordering on the sacrilegious and pushing beyond the pale.
Right On!!!!
I think that a "docu-drama" cartoon for a 1/2 hour time slot (come on all of you QPTV Access- Producers out there) featuring "Crappy's " tour of our roster of outstanding Queens' "UGLIES" to be aired on public access TV! You can apply for an "in-kind" grant and if they like it they'll do it! I did similar 10 years ago. This is only a suggestion for the future after the character catches on!
Does anyyone remember the nostalgic "whoopie cusion"? It was a pillow that you sneakily placed under someone's butt just before they were about to sit down. Then, behold ....a flatulent sound was emitted. Put "Crappy's image on a pillow like this and it'll sell like Mc Mansions to idiots! P.S. I love that snow globe idea!
