I am at work so wont open link but I assume its cos he has no cloths on, where as say the roof of the Sistine chapel would be fine

It's art, therefore it is open to interpretation. "Concerned parents" have interpreted it in a concerning way.

I would assume it was people getting offended by a flaccid marble penis yes.

I don’t know how they managed to have kids of their own if that offended them. Surely even looking at their partner will have been upsetting.

PH don't allow pornographic links. Wonder if this thread will get removed.

Have a look at the thread I started "Chop if off" (should have been "it" but F and T close together on phone keyboard) - I posted it in the lounge to start as its not normal

Puritanism seems to be getting more mainstream.

Wait until they hear about modern art...

Spoiler tag because, well...

[Vanden Saab]

Bloody hell, imagine being offended by a statue...

[ZedLeg]

I'd understand the complaints if they did that in a school.

You’re after Florida news that is less “Florida”? Good luck.

"forced to resign" should have held his nerve and forced them to sack him. Tribunal after that.

Weird sky fairy folk will always be doing their thing, just need to not take them seriously.

Irony is, bet they all have a house full of firearms though

[ZedLeg]

I just can't believe that The Simpsons predicted the future again.
