SADDAM FIGURE CREATOR RECEIVES HATE MAIL Manufacturer of Saddam Hussein Statues Continue Business as Usual Despite Denouncements.

The Glumps Gallery has recently introduced satirical figurative statues of Saddam Hussein to the open market and as a result have received hate mail and irate messages from enraged members of the public.

Hamilton, Ontario (PRWEB) June 25, 2004 -- This collectible figure of Saddam portrays the former dictator, who is currently awaiting trial, in an ironic pose bearing the title, "The Delusions of Saddam Hussein".

The artist responsible for the design of the limited edition statues was surprised to learn that his creation is not a welcome entity for all, as some of the letters and messages that denounce the figures would dictate.

"All I was trying to convey in a humorous fashion, was the fact that Saddam Hussein is currently in prison with little chance for potential freedom, but remains aloof/defiant with his captors and seems to believe that he holds all the cards," said Ross Sferrazza, the designer for the Glumps Gallery collectibles. "The item was produced as a decorative collectible and conversation piece for the enthusiast, but I gather that some people take offense to this offering, by the aggressive tone of their responses."

The company, based in Ontario, Canada, and with an online presence,(www.glumps.ca)will continue to sell the remaining statues in spite of the negative reviews as they have encountered numerous collectors who are pleased with their unusual acquisitions.
