America must indeed be the laughing stock of the world with its Puritanical attitude regarding anything having to do with sexual matters. And now the trend to censor anything and everything that has something to do with sexuality has extended to the animal kingdom. Not only are prudish idiots banning books with the word "scrotum", they are now shocked and disgusted at anatomically correct statues of animals.In Colorado a bronze statue of a Great Dane purchased by the Manitou Springs Arts Council was put on public display, and them almost immediately removed because the statue's penis proved to be too upsetting to some passers-by. The sculptor, Louise Peterson, exclaimed, "But he's a dog, for heaven's sake!"
Are we really this ignorant? Has our society degenerated to the point where we actually live in fear of our own bodies, and the bodies of the other creatures of the world? Is the next step to clothe our pets as well as all the animals in the zoo?
The dog statue will eventually have his "day in court" to determine whether or not he will be restored to a place of public viewing, but the artist is now concerned about vandalism due to all the notoriety.
Also, the Arts Council made the unfortunate decision to now present all new artworks to the general public for review and approval. This is a huge mistake, because now any work that depicts nudity will have the moralists screeching and hollering "indecency", and it's likely that even a statue of Donald Duck will need to be fitted with trousers.
Stupid is as stupid does.
