As my friend Cikku an ex 60's singer says,"Ahjar il latrina,at least that had some poetry,even though it was in motion.

That statuary is a disgrace to good taste and true likeness. This is a case where vandalism was justified for the common good. Those so called 'Vandals' should be awarded a medal. Although I never would.I feel like blowing the bloody thing up each time I go past it.More often than not I avoid it if I possibly can.
Why not put the whole thing in a clay oven and turn it into a teapot,imma,make sure at least the proportions are true .
