You expected maybe... Michaelangelo?
Remember the crossed arms/swords in Baghdad designed by Saddam...?
It's a cultural thing.
Hey, I sort of liked those crossed swords.
"It's a cultural thing."
Reminds me of the mansion a mysterious Saudi family bought in Beverly Hills, California, years ago. They placed statues of naked women out in front -- painted flesh-colored & lifelike, with pink nipples and pubic hair.
Cars would stop and crawl by, as people would look. (And this was a major street, Sunset Boulevard.)
The family later got in trouble with the law and left just as mysteriously as they came. The statues were eventually taken down, and the house sold to somebody -- hopefully, not Saudi.
