	Hershell: Is this made to scale??!! Salzburg's 2-foot erection Enter the AD-FREE zone

Oh, this is a fun news day.

quote: A giant statue of a naked man with a two-foot erection has caused a row in Salzburg after being exposed on the eve of a visit by Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne. Salzburg mayor Heinz Schaden said he was horrified when he realised at the official unveiling on Friday what the sculptors had been installing. He said it would be impossible for Prince Charles to avoid seeing the figure when he arrives in the city of Mozart's birth for a weekend visit, and wants it taken down immediately. The mayor said: "No-one asked me or my office for permission to put this up, and if they had, we would have said No. "I can't stress strongly enough how totally tasteless this is, and have demanded immediately that those responsible take it down." Viagra tribute Called "Arc de Triomphe", the statue by artists Ali Janka, Wolfgang Gantner, Tobias Urban and Florian Reither shows a naked man bending over backwards with his hands on the ground and an erect penis thrusting into the sky. The artwork was described as a tribute to Viagra and was unveiled in front of the Rupertinum Modern Art Gallery, 24 hours before Charles is due to fly into the European cultural capital on a visit to the Salzburg Festival. Artist Ali Janka said: "We didn't do it to shock the prince and we hope he will get to see it. We think it's beautiful and has a distinctly royal theme about it, with the majestic arch of the man bending over. "It was a double honour for us to know that Charles would be going past and would see all our hard work." The festival, staged each year in the city of Mozart's birth, is more famous for its operas, dramas and concerts rather than for shock art. Charles, who will make the trip without Camilla Parker Bowles, will reportedly fly into Salzburg late Saturday afternoon by private jet and is expected to stay at least until Sunday, according to Austrian magazine 'News'. Gala dinner He will attend the official reception for the annual festival shortly after his arrival in the city, where he will be joined by Austrian President Thomas Klestil and Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg. Afterwards he will be in the audience for a performance of Hector Berlioz's Requiem in the large festival hall. Prince Charles, who was invited by one of the festival's main sponsors, 77-year-old New York publisher Donald Kahn, is also expected to attend a gala dinner on Saturday evening as one of 200 guests, before staying overnight in a hotel outside the city. On Sunday he will appear at a cocktail reception held at the Felsen Riding School in the early evening before attending the opening night of the opera 'Entfuehrung aus dem Serail' (Abduction from the Seraglio) by Mozart. The Salzburg festival starts on Saturday and ends traditionally on 31 August.

Why?

What kind of pose is that for a gay man? He's bending the wrong way.

I thought Prince Charles was into that kind of thing.

BS detector off the scale on this one. Replace "said" with "tittered" or "chuckled".

- causing the rest of the artists to break down howling with laughter.

If the mayor didn't know that "artists" (I use the term loosely) need to be watched like a hawk then he shouldn't be mayor. Further the city's archetectural committee should have a detailed permitting process so as to insure new buildings, public art, and the like "gel" with the existing archetecture and the wishes of the people.

That's a crap picture, it's actually quite a cool statue. I'm not sure of it's artistic value but it's pretty funny.

The giant spurting penis is funny as hell. I wouldn't call it art and I surely wouldn't wast tax payer money on it but it's still funny.

God, you figure the Prince of Wales could afford to get some decent dental work. I know the man is British, but that's just ridiculous.

Trust me, we find this extremely funny,too.

The last move was to have it hidden behind a wood structure. The artists troed to block that. The police refused to intervene because there is nothing illegal about it.

Two words: Mortar shell.
Hey, it would be fitting. The statue is already "leaking fluids." Might as well give the city a joygasm to remember...

I know why the statue in Salzburg has a hard-on. I also recommend this place for the Prince. It is the oldest still excisting establishment of it's kind in the world, despite practicing the worlds oldest profession.


By the way, it's a myth that the profession practised at this place is the oldest in the world. I would bet that the grave digger's profession is older.
