Penis hammered off controversial nude statue in Penticton, B.C.
It's not like there was much there before:

I guess I'll have to trot down there tomorrow to take the "after" photos (hoping I'm not sick tomorrow, too...)
Mayor Perry said Penticton is not as open to such nude artworks as Toronto and other larger cities and noted public tax money was involved in commissioning the project.
Translation: Old biddies, who have nothing but time on their hands, keep sending me letters offended about the guy's thingy. People have too much time on their hands.
Maybe Penticton should have a better developed tendering process for public art...and traffic design. I have confirmed that it was a Brit ex-pat who designed the roundabout that is so weirdly-placed in that bottleneck close to the shore of Lake Okanagan that provides that empty space the city seems so desperate to fill.
UPDATE: February 2nd: still too sick to go to work to see the remnants. They'll have cleaned it all up by then...Damn!
I wonder what happened to it? i.e. where is the penis now.
