Realistic statue of man in underwear freaks out women's college
KRMG ^ | February 6, 2014 | Rick Couri

300 students have signed a petition to have the creepy, yet lifelike statue removed.

In part, the petition reads;

"This highly realistic sculpture has, within just a few hours of its outdoor installation, become a source of apprehension, fear, and triggering thoughts regarding sexual assault for many members of our campus community.

While it may appear humorous, or thought-provoking to some, it has already become a source of undue stress for many Wellesley College students, the majority of whom live, study, and work in this space."

The Boston Globe reports the piece is called "Sleepwalker," it was put up to bring attention to the work of a sculptor named Tony Matelli.

This "Weed" of his is even more interesting. Not. How much money do people spend on this trash? Someone at the college, other than the museum, had to have approved placing Captain Underoos on campus.

I don’t know why we have fallen so low as to declare anything “art”

triggering thoughts regarding sexual assault for many members of our campus
Putting bananas on the menu for the school lunch would trigger thoughts regarding sexual assault for many at Wellesley.


And we let them vote.....

Anyone having that reaction should be on medication.

Maybe a nekid statue of Chastity "Chaz" Bono would've been more appropriate.

Yes, women are as mentally strong as men. They can take or do anything. But they’re also easily-terrified, little wimps who get hysterical about a statue. Which is it radical feminists?

So if some country we are at war with wants to engage in psychological warfare with our feminized military force, all they need to do is erect statues of men marching in tighty whiteys???

We had a power outage at the farm back in 1999 or so and all went outside to what the lights how from the substation switch gear a 1/2 mile away lighting up everything. We were all outside and so just started building a 7’ tall snowman in the middle of the night... which about 3 beers later had become a snowpenis.

my friends finance lived in the carriage house at the time... she was PISSED when she saw it. Typical mid to late 20s uppity feminist schoolteacher twat.

The snow penis stayed.
