I feel it, but at the same time, where does the title imply the statues were damaged? It's all about grabbing attention in order to bring focus to the disastrous situation we're in with our environment.

Giving the statues "an orange makeover" implies something a lot more permanent or at least harder to remove than high-vis vests. If someone tells you they "got a makeover", when in reality what they did was change their shirt, would you not think that was a little disingenuous?

I'm not being critical of you, or the protest, to be clear, I just think the title is a poor representation of what happened.

Guess it all comes down to your definition of makeover. In looking up the definition, it's defined as "a radical change in appearance, it may imply a change in clothing, haircut, or cosmetics". This being the case, I'd say the title's spot on. But it all comes down to how you define makeover regarding if the titles misleading. It's a bit ambiguous, so I see what you're saying.
