The first new Presidential addition to the iconic Mount Rushmore in it’s eighty-year history has been announced – Morgan Freeman playing President Beck in 1998’s comet classic Deep Impact
The new sculpture will be of Morgan Freeman’s President Beck looking sad because they couldn’t blow up the comet, and will sit alongside the famous sculptures of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and another one.
“Hey, Rushmore is terrific, you know? You can’t improve on it,” said Bryan Sasquatch of the National Parks Services.
“But then, the other day, I was looking at a photo, and I thought – I can improve on it.”
Bryan realised that the only thing that could be better than four giant heads carved into a batholith would be five giant heads carved into a batholith .
“Exactly, and you don’t have to take that big of a leap to realise that the fifth head needs to be our fifth best President – Tom Beck from Deep Impact. It’s the only logical choice.”
Work will begin on the fifth head as soon as Mr Sasquatch can locate his old VHS of Deep Impact and if the giant head of Morgan Freeman as President Beck proves popular then he’s already prepared another improvement.
“Well, it seems fairly obvious to me that the next addition would be our sixth best President.”
“President Marcus Robbins from Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!”
