Second most photographed satue in the united states???
Second most photographed statue in the US after Mount Rushmore....
I'm only a humble Australian, but surely the Satue of Liberty would rate in the top two most photographed statues in the United States. This claim seems a little flimsy to me, i would like to see some further evidence to support this.
I have to agree. I checked out the link and found it to be an internet news site that just referred to Kodak. So I did a quick google search and found many sites making similar claims, but none with any real reference. Then I searched Kodak's website, and they don't have anything devoted to ranking "most-photographed" nor a single page that contains the name of the town. I think this may be an urban legend.--Scottieb 14:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I came to this discussion page to post exactly that; unless somehow the Statue of Liberty does not count as a true statue (I don't see why it would, just hypothetically), I think it would be #2, if not #1! --UNHchabo 15:17, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have just recieved this message from Microsoft and it has been confirmed by AOL and Verizon, it is the most ... oh wait a minute. I do not think it is a well sourced information. Minor newspaper do not verify their information and are prone to publish urban legends. I propose deleting this peace of information if citation of original statement of Kodak is not provided. --Jan Smolik 15:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Plus, even if Kodak did say it, there should be no reason to list it if it is clearly erroneous.
Fargo is mentioned twice in the In Popular culture list
First item says "The statues are featured in the first season of the FX series Fargo. While mainly pictured on Bemidji's welcome sign throughout the season, the statues make their physical debut in the episode "A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage". In the episode, the statues, while accurate in design, are depicted as smaller, life-size statues standing upon tall pedestals and located next to some railroad tracks instead of on the lake shore."
Last item "Stylized smaller replicas are frequently seen in the TV series FARGO (Season 1), which was shot in Canada"
