Mysterious 3rd sculpture appears
By Jonathan Tressler – The Sun News
The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce had a sand sculpture built Monday night to squeeze one last drop from the deluge of publicity its presidential sand sculptures brought to town.
Although it bore a striking resemblance to one-time presidential hopeful, Comedy Central personality and Charleston native Stephen Colbert, those in the know were sworn to silence about the sculpture, including whether or when it will be shown on a cable TV network.
“I’m supposed to tell you I can neither confirm or deny the existence of said sculpture,” said chamber President Brad Dean on Tuesday, about an hour after a Myrtle Beach fire crew demolished the sculpted face. “I hate to be evasive, but we’ve been asked to do that.”
EDITED TO ADD: Looks like we should get answers as to what this is all about on Thursday night’s episode.
… does anyone else think it REALLY looks like Lincoln from that angle? Hmm.

Yes! It actually looks like Lincoln’s face, with Stephen’s eyebrow. Freaky, yet funny.

Definitely a Lincoln influence there. I googled Brad Dean and found that he graduated from the university of illinois, the self-proclaimed land of lincoln. I smell a publicity stunt to defraud colbert and elect lincoln, posthumously. Down w/ Dean and Lincoln, vote Colbert in 2008.

The sculpture is way cool. AND HUGE!
I’ll bet if you got a shot from the front they’d have Steven’s cockeyed ear!
