Gauracandra Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Bronze Stallion in Shorts to Spare Virgin Blushes July 17, 2002 08:30 AM CATANIA, Sicily (Reuters) - Civic worthies in Sicily were under fire Tuesday for bolting iron "underwear" onto a municipal statue of a stallion to spare blushes during a religious procession involving an effigy of the Virgin Mary. "It is almost inconceivable that in the third millennium, someone should cover a horse's private parts for the Madonna," said local animal welfare campaigner Alfio Lisi. "Didn't God create all living creatures, including man? So why the scandal?" he told Ansa news agency. A statue of the Madonna will pass by the offending bronze stallion in an annual religious procession in the eastern Sicilian city of Catania set for later Tuesday night.

Tarun Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Additional Victims of the Shorts. Can't they try some shortcut? Better they add Zukadev GoswAmI's statue. That'll end all contraversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
