Article highlights:
| ..."A lot of statues in people's yards have penises, what's wrong with this?" [Australian co-sculptor and homeowner Brett] O'Neill said.
... Mr O'Neill said he even planned to eventually turn it into a fountain, with water cascading from the top into a rock pool and fish pond at the base. ... The demise of the phallic sculpture has been met with disappointment from some neighbours. "I am sorely disappointed I didn't get to see it as a water feature," Rhonda Jones said. But not everyone in the street was in favour. Matt Newell, who lives across the road, said he was glad it had been removed. "It was a bit obscene," he said. Another neighbour, who declined to be named, described the penis as an eyesore and said he was especially annoyed when the creators put two large boulders at its base. Mr O'Neill said the phallic furore was disappointing, but promised the controversial wooden penis would live on - with plans to erect it in his back yard. "When we have barbecues it will be sitting there proud and happy," he said. |
....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
