Watching true crime TV shows can teach you a thing or two about psychological profiling, forensic science and the horrific things people do to each other, but watch too much murder themed TV and you’re liable to become a bit paranoid.
Redditor fonetik conducted his own investigation into the effects of watching nothing but Investigation Discovery and other cop/murder shows for 24 hours and came up with over forty insightful, and sometimes frightening, "nuggets of information" including:
8. If you believe FBI profilers, I know about 30 serial killers.
3. If you took out an insurance policy on someone, and then they suddenly die horrifically a week later, you probably won’t get that money… and you’re going to prison.
15. My cell phone can take 6 hours of 720P video. The cameras in convenience stores take 4 pictures a minute and might as well be drawn with crayons. And they throw away the tapes nightly.
34. No one in nice neighborhoods hears or reports gunshots. Ever.
10. Detroit isn’t scary. Memphis is scary.

I mean, this thing is known as "Moon Over Homewood". That's how I did the search to get this link. :)
Here is a more current picture:

Cool idea - mooning a city.
The problem, however, was that some horse's *sses (no pun intended), staying at the Plaza, objected to the fact that the horse's butt faced them.
The statue was reversed, at great expense, about 30 years ago.
You can't make that stuff up
