So NOBODY at the school thought this particular juxtaposition might be problematic when viewing the design specs in advance?!?

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Demonites

I would say it is shockingly authentic.

That just HAS to be deliberate...

And, as Sejanus said... it is sadly very much authentic for the catholic church. =/

Unbelievable:hilarious:

I have to wonder if the artist was consciously or subconsciously motivated, like, did he get the commission because he had graduated a Catholic boys school?

When I scrolled down to that, I spewed my breakfast all over the screen, Nobody who viewed specs for that didn't see what I saw? Really? :fish:

Kid got the bread 2 rise

 

[Metalfan]

Oh what a fitting statue.

 

[Muriel Schwenck]

If only the statue was holding a basket of bread.

Haha! Too perfect. Someone should sneak the cloak off at night and paint a little tip on the dick head area.

 

[Turd Fergusen]

Ok, so I've never seen a "loaf of bread" that was THAT size and shape. The little boy isn't even going for it he's cupping the....... Just good lord, who looked at that and approved it???

This is what they eventually did with that area. Statue gone, park bench, and fake animals.

Suggestive statue at Catholic boys' school replaced with a park bench

Blackfriars Priory School in Adelaide knew shortly after it unveiled a statue of 17th Century Peruvian friar St Martin de Porres in the playground the unfortunate sculpture would have to be removed.

I wonder what became of the dick statue.

Oh, and this.

St Martin, noted for his work with the poor and downtrodden, is the patron saint of barbers, innkeepers, public health workers, mixed-race people and all those seeking racial harmony.

He is credited with miracles including levitation, an ability to communicate with animals, and being in two places at once.

Christianity. pff.
