Male genital snow sculpture 'disgusting'
Sculpture in violation of state statute


LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - With the snowfall we've seen during the month of December, many have been out enjoying it. But, you might want to reconsider what you build out of snow - it may be a violation of the law.

Neighbors along North 7th Street in Lafayette said two sculptures of male genitals were simply "disgusting." The sculptures have since been torn down, but the controversial issue still serves as a reminder that obscene sculptures do violate state law.

"Other kids are living on this block. It's just really rude for other kids to have to see what they've been doing," said Brire Gill, a kid who lives across the street.

Gill said what he and other kids in the neighborhood saw Wednesday morning was upsetting. Two snow sculptures in the shape of male genitals were on display at their neighbors' house.

22. LOL
The sculptures' creators declined to comment, but still had plenty of middle fingered hand gestures to show a News Channel 18 camera from across the street.

"I think it's disgusting. I have a two-year-old. Like, right now, he doesn't even know what that is. It's just not even....people shouldn't do that. It's very irresponsible," said Ghina Robinson, who also lives across the street.

Don't they have to know what that is to be potty trained?

54. Wel if the kid doesn't even know what it is, what's the problem?
It's not disgusting or offensive to him. It's not going to scar him for life. He probably quickly forgot all about seeing some funny looking snowman in the neighbor's yard.

Oh, and something that made me laugh...there's a photo in the article.

The "sculpture" is blurred out.

At the bottom of the photo is a button to click to make the photo larger...

6. Actually, I think they did have to blur the picture
Apparently Indiana's obscenity law is broad enough that they could have been fined for running it.

The beauty or ugliness of a tool, it seems to me, is always in the eye of the beholder. Because it really doesn't comment on the functionality of the item in question- be it penises, vaginas, buttocks, earlobes, breasts, noses, etc- just their aesthetic. I would submit the thought that we live in a world filled with those so-looking bits only because humanity for upwards of a million and a half years has continued to find them "worth using", heh heh. So they can't be all that repellent.

I was looking at a website in which women can send pictures of their breasts so that young women or older ones with body issues can see what real, normal breasts look like. Instead of the ones you see so frequently in magazines, etc. Anyway, there was a picture of a pair of very small, saggy, wrinkled breasts and it was just a chest shot, not face and nothing below the navel.

The caption read something like "These are my breasts. They are small, stretch-marked, wrinkled and have successfully fed 7 children."

I glanced back up at the picture in wonder. I kept thinking "Those are some beautiful breasts."

:)

But that's me.

39. I wouldn't say I find them ugly, but...
I do find them rather ridiculous-looking.


A well formed guy in a pair of tight jeans is wayyyy more attractive (to me) than the same guy standing or lying around with his "junk" hanging out.

42. I - on the other hand (ahem) find...
genitals wonderfully attractive. Less so with males, I admit, but females..... both beautiful and interesting. Flower-like. Never saw one I didn't like. Seen a few, too.

I hate it when people refer to their privates as "junk". They ain't no junk!

At my age, I have a lot of reverence for genitals. Sometimes all I can do is look, and I always feel awed.

12. How disgusting is our culture that people think a penis is disgusting?
There has to be something seriously wrong with these people that they are so emotionally distressed by a penis.

Who wants to come up with some new euphemisms for a snow penis?

Here's goes:

Bald-headed Frosty

Big Chilly

Snowmangina

Dicksickle

43. myself and some friends..
built some giant erect penises on top of my high school's athletic shed when we were teenagers. We came to school the next morning and the janitors were on the roof knocking them down w/ shovels. But not until after most of the students and teachers had already arrived. They never figured out who did it and we got a HUGE laugh about it, and still do 20 years later.
