The '''Statue of Happiness''' is a statue in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], located on [[Happiness Island]] in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] and clearly based on the real-life [[wp:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]] in New York City. The name refers to the smile on the statue's face, and if spoken quickly, sounds like "The Statue of a Penis". | The '''Statue of Happiness''' is a statue in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], located on [[Happiness Island]] in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] and clearly based on the real-life [[wp:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]] in New York City.

''The other day I had the unfortunate experience of getting up-close and personal with the Statue of Happiness. It's horrible! I could swear that disgusting strange smile on her face reminds me of someone, too. That's the face of a woman who needs some work done, or some action, or both! I mean, she is seriously living a lie, that one, and for what? She just stands there and does nothing! Reminds me of my mother. If I was married to that cold slab of stone I'd be off with any fat bird who'd take me. It's amazing that angry black heart of hers still beats in her chest.'' | ''The other day I had the unfortunate experience of getting up-close and personal with the Statue of Happiness.
