The folks at TV Land have announced that they'll mark the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death on the toilet with a statue of The King in a more glorious pose. Their latest "TV Land Landmark" will honor his 1973 Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii TV special.
The life-size bronze statue will be unveiled in July outside the Honolulu's Neal S. Blaisdell Center, which used to be the The Honolulu International Center, where the TV special took place. It will be the sixth time TV Land has marked its territory by littering the landscape with a kitsch memento to "commemorate and salute those icons and images of classic television that have helped shape and influence our lives."
The others include:
The Bob Newhart statue in Chicago;
Ralph Kramden statue in New York City;
Bewitched statue in Salem, Massachusetts;
Mary Tyler Moore statue in Minneapolis;
and the Andy Griffith statue in Raleigh, NC.
Let the movement for a Herman Munster landmark begin here.
Other suggestions?
(TV Land will also "honor" Elvis every day during his death month. They'll run an Elvis movie, concert or special every day in August.)

How about a statue of Granny Clampett in Beverly Hills, California?
