People in the US have gone STUPID!!! More 'obscenity' issues - GoFuckYourself.com

You will NOT believe this shit.

This story is about a dude who bought a replica of the 'Statue Of David' and put it in his yard.

The local community is somewhat upset because it's a 'nude' and 'near' a school.

WHAT THE FUCK???

It's the most famous statue in human history and some dipshits are 'offended' at the nudity? Yet they can go into any encyclopeadia or dictionary and see the same statue smothered in accolades???

This is why the older I get the more I agree with 'Dr. Smith' from the old 'Lost In Space' tv show regarding fine tastes and the direction of humanity's aesthetics.

LeeNoga · 08-18-2003, 09:35 AM

Blame it on lawyers.

Danny_C · 08-18-2003, 09:36 AM

Children should be shielded from naked human bodies at all costs.

The Truth Hurts · 08-18-2003, 09:40 AM

Yeah. America sucks, but we still rule the world.

on a similar note,
state supreme court somewhere..
alabama i think
is forcing some dude to remove a monument thing with the ten commandments on it... something infinately more famous than the statue of david... and those are just fucking words.

Fletch XXX · 08-18-2003, 09:40 AM

No, blame the christians.

These people deserve harsh torture.

Now, they are claiming ART is OBSCENE and has no ARTISTIC value?

Lets see you make a statue you baby killing jesus freaks.

BRISK · 08-18-2003, 09:43 AM

Fallacy of Composition

My Dixie Wrecked · 08-18-2003, 09:44 AM

Nudity is disgusting. If god wanted us naked we'd be born without clothes and no ability to buy clothes.

I long for the day when babies have clothes surgically attached to them so they can never be taken off. The world will be much better.

The Truth Hurts · 08-18-2003, 09:45 AM

i expect any day now that someone will take offense to the betsy ross flag in my front yard.

and yet they see nothing obscene with a statue of some great historical figure nailed to a cross in the most obscene ways to be tortured and die!!!

violence = OK
nudity = BAD

it's hard to follow that logic sometimes...

don't get me wrong, I support keeping kids away from harmful material, HOWEVER....you gotta use some fucking common sense which lately the world seems to be lacking :/

whatever happened to
" not porn until there is a sexual gesture, act, or pose "

Thats crap, I think it is good to allow all to see the past cultures and civilizations. It is only art, maybe they could ask the owner to place a leaf over it's weewee ?

cherrylula · 08-18-2003, 10:10 AM

But if its a dead guy with nothing but a loin cloth on nailed to a cross its okay.

Maybe everyone should just have a bloody dead jesus statue in their front yard.

Phoenix · 08-18-2003, 10:20 AM

it was probably misconstrued as being sexual..as i think it is in a gay couples front yard.

hard call...nudity in front of a school is not a light subject...i think they dont start teaching sex ed..or showing the naked book pics until a certain age.

if it looks tasteful..which from the one pic i saw..it actually does..then i dont see a problem with it

Raven · 08-18-2003, 10:20 AM

first of all, what do christians have to do with this article??? nowhere in this article does it say that christians had anything to do with this complaint....it says the PARENTS of the neighbouring school!!!! I am in no way a bible thumper but I don't think that it's right for u to blame it on a religious belief...

education on the arts is important...but the taste in which the statue was put up, this is not...

then again, their mentality is probably might as well get em while they're down because I'm too stupid to go out and get it on my own!!

jim manly · 08-18-2003, 02:47 PM

I remember hearing once where I live somebody sculpted a penis with a tree trunk in there front yard, it was about 10 feet tall. Of course it was quickly taken down.

Scootermuze · 08-18-2003, 03:04 PM

No matter what anyone does.. someone somewhere is gonna bitch about it..

Just like the little 10 year old girl (or close to that age) had the cops called on her by her neighbor bitch because she was selling lemonade and didn't have a business license.

That's about as stupid and ignorant as it comes..

One of the cops bought a glass of lemonade from her and the county gave her a license free of charge..

But it wasn't all bad in the end.. she got to be on Letterman and other shows I think..

anyway.. the world is full of do-gooders who think they are so much holier than thou.. and they probably know that they are laughed at on a daily basis..

He put a monument with the 10 commandments on it in his courthouse, which is a government building.
That was a violation of separation of church and state.

He can have all the monuments he wants on his front lawn.

If it weren't for those Ferrari driving rigatoni rolling wine drinking Italians, we wouldn't have to worry about our children being exposed to art.

Personally speaking, if I were walking around with my 3 year old daughter, I'd be slightly more upset by the statue with cock and balls, than the monument with some words to live by on it.

Oh, and as a personal observation... you can't argue for free speech, and against speech, religious or otherwise, at the same time, it's a glaring contradiction.

Paul Markham · 08-19-2003, 02:08 AM

The problem is simple these "Moralists" are prepared to stand up and fight for what they believe in. The rest are not, so they get their way.

In the US

Anywhere else this would be laughed at, it would not even get thought of. We have nude statues everywhere in Europe, part of our culture.

Wonder how many people in that community have childrena nd own guns, probably take the kids down to the local gun range and militia meetings.
