Recap of statue Crocs prank journeyfrom @kidwithcrocs
[01]
Overview
The creator recaps a 31-day prank series where they placed Crocs on various statues, claiming to have gained 200,000 followers. They document the process of removing the shoes, jokingly escalate the prank to the Statue of Liberty using VFX, and satirically announce they are giving their account away to a random follower selected via a spinning wheel.

Transcript
Over the past thirty one days, I've mischievously put Crocs on 11 different statues. In doing that, I've gained nearly 200,000 followers. So here's the thing. I have been up for the past thirty hours reprinting, resanding, and repainting every single Croc. This morning at 6AM, I went back to every single statue and put every croc back where it belonged. More importantly, as this video goes live, I am at the Statue Of Liberty and I'm putting crocs on this statue. You may never hear from me again, in which case I put every single one of my followers on this giant wheel and I like to formally give my account to reddig tier. You've got big shoes to fill. Anyways, me getting arrested and ruining my entire life aside. You can go to the statues right now and take a gibbet if you want. Please don't steal the crocs, Although I know some of you probably will. If you do steal them, at least make like a funny video out of it and tag me or something. I don't know. Anyways, this might be my final post. So I love you guys. Goodbye.
