I'd never heard of Purchase College, a part of New York's university system. It made Fox News a few days ago when some students revealed that the college has a shrine featuring Danny DeVito, who is not a relative of mine.
The shrine is hidden behind the paper towel dispenser in one of the bathrooms.
A photo shows an image of DeVito’s face hanging on the wall and a cutout of DeVito standing in the corner. A note is placed in front of the cutout, which reads “Leave An Offering For Our Lord and Savior Danny DeVito, Patron Saint of Trashmen” — a nod to DeVito's role on the hit FX series.
Other items include a commuter card, a package of Pop Rocks, a whoopee cushion and an Apple iTunes gift card, all sprawled across the floor at the cutout of DeVito’s feet.
DeVito has been made aware of it and has written, "Your shrine honors me. My heart is filled with love and garbage. Tomorrow, as you may know, is my name day. Do something that makes you feel good. Above all be kind to each other. Pick up trash, recycle, and be aware of plastics in the ocean."
This little-known school has invited DeVito to visit it.
