Another article said it was farmed out to a local sculptor in Vietnam, I guess he wasn't to know the references... though surely someone here saw some sketches before they paid a deposit?

I'm sure everyone at the school is pleased the offending saint is now hiding his crime under a burka.

It's hard not to laugh but I kinda feel sorry for the school and the kids that they have made the national news over this

7th line is most likely what is on display, it has just been blurred over the years by society.

That what it's obviously meant to represent, instead the guy looks like he's in a valium blackout holding his wad out for the little sheeple.

The school kids would have picked up on it immediatley.

Teacher to principal " have you heard what the kids are saying"
Principal " Its that statue isn't it!"

Yes. Hallowed be thy name. Just looking at that form of verse makes me cringe. Only because it isn't the right way to say it (according to the way I learnt it 38yrs ago)

Pretty ordinary that people see what isn't there (as they want to?). FFS its a statue of an innocent act of giving food.

Whilst not allowing anyone to criticise a Jew - lest they be called a Nazi, or put a picture of "the" prophet in a western publication -for fear of stirring up the Muslims.

Been more paedo filth exposed in the entertainment industry lately, but I don't see a mass exodus (no pun intended) from music or TV.................. and the irony is its the media stating they are"forced" to cover it up - to create the covering up - to make the story about forced to cover it up valid ......

Be that as it may, but it still made me laugh out loud
