Penis sculpture must go before Pope's visit

The mayor of a town near Malta's main airport has called for the removal of a sculpture resembling a penis near the road leading to the capital Valletta ahead of a weekend visit by the Pope.

The sculpture ...... etc
Why don't they just cover it with a giant condom during the visit? :dono:

Oh wait, that would cause even more offence. :roll:

Why don't they just sit a choirboy on top of it? The pope would feel right at home then.

I love how the caption next to the picture says that the sculpture was erected. Priceless.

Why should they take it down "as a sign of respect for the pope"? Doesn't he have a penis? Didn't God create man in his own image, including the penis?

I think it would be really cool if the pope visited, stopped off near the sculpture, and had his photo taken next to it, perhaps licking it. Show that he is a real human being with a sense of humour instead of some dried up hypocrite who is offended by the human form (unless that human form is of a small naked boy).

It's the weird ass condom the dong is wearing. They should just paint it to be plain dick and presto, pope approves.

Yes, the condom is obviously too tight in places. Hurts just to watch it...

Mr Critien said his creation was not a phallic symbol but a modern representation of a symbol dating back to ancient Egypt.

He said the Pope "would look at it as a work of art. [He] is not the man in the street".

Hope the Pope never comes to Perth and wants to travel up north.

They'd have to bulldoze the entire Pinnacles Desert. :nono:

Yes, the ancient symbol for a penis. Now what we really need is for someone to create a paper mache sculpture of a male ass, and put it up against the penis just before the pope visits. He will feel right at home.

Cleopatra's Needle in London needs to come down too then.

They should replace it with a sculpture of a the bleeding anus of a raped altar boy, that should make Ratzy more comfortable.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.
