Madame Tussauds and Kanye West's Waxwork

So Madame Tussauds have removed their waxwork of Kanye West from display after his antisemitic comments.

That's terrible. What a waste. The waxwork really should be put to use. WHAT A WASTE.

What the hell are they playing at? Don't get me wrong, I'm ferociously keen on cancel culture and obviously antisemitic people and other Nazis should be cancelled, deplatformed, diversity trained until they scream and prosecuted to the full extent they can. Not killed, obviously, we don't want to get like them.

But when it comes to hiding a waxwork because it depicts an antisemitic scumbag, that's just wrong. They're sitting on the world's biggest wax poppit which already has the collective thoughts of its makers and everyone who has seen it, making a connection to the scumbag. It would be wicked to waste that.

They could get a witch to do it, but that waxwork is so ready that anyone could do it. You wouldn't even need to cast a circle, and even this blessing (from Starhawk) would be a formality:

"Blessed be, thou creature made by art. By art made, by art changed. Thou art not wax but flesh and blood. I name thee Kanye Omari West. Thou art he, between the worlds, in all the worlds, So mote it be."

And then you just set to, seeing in your mind every kind of misfortune happening to him until he admits he's a shit.
