Warner Bros. Demands Destruction of ‘Christmas Story’ Leg Lamp Statue in Oklahoma Town
The Old Man from A Christmas Story was thrilled to win a leg lamp as his major award, but that was nothing compared to the enthusiastic citizens of Chickasha, Oklahoma. The town built a 50-foot version of the movie prop to lord over its downtown, beckoning visitors from near and far. But now, Warner Bros. is playing Scrooge, demanding that Chickasha amputate the leg for violating its trademark.
But the obvious question first: Why would any community erect a giant leg in the center of town? The Chickasha Community Foundation says it’s a tribute to the late Noland James, a local who was an art professor at the University of Oklahoma. James claimed to have designed the lamp for A Christmas Story, and the statue is a tribute to the area legend.
The leg lamp put Chickasha on the map, say locals, with social media posts and other publicity allegedly reaching a billion people.
