cbs5.com/watercooler/watercooler_story_121121511.html Two Cited For Making Snow Phallus May 1, 2005 9:13 am US/Pacific LARAMIE, WYO (AP) Two men have pleaded not guilty to promoting obscenity for allegedly building a snow phallus in their front yard. Brandon Arp, 20, and Aric Davenport, 19, were arraigned Friday in circuit court. Police say Arp and Davenport built the sculpture April 21. Neighbors found the sculpture offensive and, although someone destroyed it, the two were cited. Davenport's attorney, Michael Vang, said it's not clear how the sculpture was obscene. He accused police of selective enforcement. |

I'm sorry, but if just the existance of a phallus is obscene, then Michaelangelo's David is obscene too. Even moreso, since it it an entire naked body rather than just the phallus. If they had built a snow sculpture of an 8-year-old boy blowing a donkey, then that might be considered obscene. Just a phallus, no way. I'd fight it in court. |
