    Seriously putting black boxes on statues , that reminds me of the Catholic church removing penises with a chisel and replacing them with fig leaves. What a society have we become where nakedness is seen as obscene.

    And you have no idea how hard it was to find out what a penis looked like when if you were under 18 you shouldn't know the word. Those were "private parts".
