Police in the US state of New Jersey have ordered a family to cover up their snow sculpture of the famous nude Venus de Milo after a neighbour complained.

Eliza Gonzalez sculpted the snow-woman with her son and daughter on her front lawn in Rahway following a snowstorm.

Many people praised their creation, but a police officer told them a neighbour had found it too risque, she said.

When given the option of covering the sculpture up or knocking it down, she dressed it in a bikini top and sarong.

"We didn't want to have any problem with the police so we covered it up," Ms Gonzalez told the AFP news agency.

But she now thinks the snowy Venus looks "more objectified and sexualised" than it did before the authorities intervened.

If I'd been the police I would have told the neighbour to go get themselves laid (though maybe not in those exact words) as if they find the Venus de Milo risqué they really need to get some (either that or stop watching amputee porn!)

You know it's always nice to remember that other people have so many more problems than I do... I mean when you just can't take it anymore and complain to the police about a "naked" snowman (snowoman? )... you have issues.

Ok, it's a snow sculpture copy of the Venus De Milo, it's lewd how?  I mean aside from the suggestion of breasts it's not particularly suggestive, I've seen more risque stuff in Reader's Digest.  I just goes to show that no matter the subject matter, there's going to be SOMEONE who just wants to piss in the cornflakes.

piss in the cornflakes.

 
Whoop!
 
Someone made a Dekkerism!

SOMEONE who just wants to piss in the cornflakes.

You've officially redeemed yourself from all previous sins.

[Ford Prefect]

Well, at least it wasn't the attorney general who complained this time.

All of this has happened before, and will happen again.

SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

SEEING BOOBS WILL TURN OUR CHILDREN INTO PEDO-RAPIST-DRUG ADDICT-HOMO-LIBERALS

BAN BOOBS

give them guns instead

[Galemp]

The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!

Oh wow, where's my facepalm pic when I need it.

But which is filthier? The murderer or the corpse?
