Finally a petition worth signing!

Just a few days after the NAACP issued a call for the removal of the mountain’s iconic Confederate carving, a petition of a very different ilk has surfaced online.

To have Outkast’s Big Boi and Andre 3000, Atlanta’s most beloved hip-hop duo, carved alongside Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

“By no means do we wish to erase or destroy the current carving, which, regardless of its context, is an impressive and historic work of art,” the MoveOn.com petition says. “We simply wish to add new carvings, of Atlanta hip-hop duo Outkast, to the mountainside. There’s plenty of room.”
