Personally, as a mother, I would not particularly be too awful upset at a badly done snow penis in someone's yard. It's not horrifying.

It's not in particularly good taste, either, but ah well.

Do I want my kids to see such a thing? Not really. Am I going to go all red and foam at the mouth because of it? Nope. Considering that we have a radio station down here that had enormous billboards of Madonna and Britney kissing that were impossible to miss, (my problem with that is that it was SO freaking staged, my oldest was all upset thinking that Madonna was going to dump Guy Ritchie...what a mess) a giant badly done snow penis is not exactly rock my little world.

Wow. Some religious consevatives seem so ashamed of human anatomy that you'd think they believed that when God was creating Adam and Eve, he subcontracted out to Lucifer for designing and constructing the "naughty" parts.

Yes, it's a pile of snow shaped to look like a reproductive organ. Get the fark over it, prudes. (No, not literally, unless you want to.) Maybe it's not in good taste, but it's not about to jump out of the news photo and start ass-raping your kids and the family dog.

The only way a kid could be traumatized by that is if he/she had been raised to believe gonads are some sort of demonic growths that (much like a Gorgon) can curse you merely with their appearance. In which case the parents are the ones doing the actual traumatizing, obviously.

Haw, I'd like to see the looks on the faces of such folks while they're on a tour of the Sistine Chapel.

SKIP WHIFFL:E:"It's an unfortunate fact that 98% of the population looks better with their clothes on."

Tell me about it. The other night I mini-barfed when I caught my reflection in the mirror when I got out of the shower.

"what if i was standing in my yard saying penis and not breaking and noise ordinances? is that free speech? can the police come and knock me over? just asking..."

Let us know what you find out.
/take a helmet.

Jument, you're wrong. While it is a penis, there is nothing necessarily obscene about penises. This is a good thing as half of our population contends with penises on a daily basis.

Just because representations of said penises may not be seen in public very often does not make them illegal. Painting an elephant orange and having it stand on its hind legs is also a rare sight and is also not illegal.

Nobody You Know: Tell me about it. The other night I mini-barfed when I caught my reflection in the mirror when I got out of the shower.

That statement is worthless without pi...

Oops. Nevermind.

Mungoon

I have never and will never write in to a magazine, newspaper, tv station or any other media outlet, so wtf are you talking about?

Hey, um, welcome to Fark, a media outlet.

Jument, I am afraid you are wrong. It would be considered a free speech issue. The only way the town could get away with it would be if they banned ALL snow sculptures.

"Speech" is not limited to just the written/spoken word. Nude dancing is also constitutionally protected. Hooray, strippers!

It should have had a sculpture of Bushes head on the top.
I can hear some of you say.
"Then it would'nt have been a penis."
I would have to disagree with that. But then we already have one Dick in the whitehouse.
Would'nt it be great if every city could have one made of snow?
Dicky the snowcock
Was a jolly happy soul
With 2 big balls and a
Vigina made of snow.

haha Mungoon i am laughing

I'm no picasso but here are some

Snow Hooters

While the link lasts....

ERASER8:"These snow sculptures graphically portray parts of the human body which, practical as they may be, are evil."

I'm no prude, but I have to agree with you on this one. I can't even begin to tell you the trouble I've had with mine.

From one of the other letters:

Now, let's not let some "nut" pass some idiotic law against what we can and can not do on our front lawn.

FarkingReading: Hey, um, welcome to Fark, a media outlet.

Hardly, this is a discussion forum. Fark doesn't publish articles of its own.

And that's why I beat my penis weekly...Because it bad I tell ya...Bad.

/heh heh

Sam_Walton, I'm still chuckling.

"Forgive me for bringing the kids. I couldn't get a sitter."

"Please, have a seat. As I was saying, in a world of predominantly male-oriented psychology, it was only natural to arrive at the term snow pee... pee... snow peepee envy."

Piss off and mind your own damn bidness!!!!
If someone wants to build a funky snow sculpture in their yard it is NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BIDNESS!
Jesus H.farking Christ on a stick!
Goddamn pansies. Grow a pair and come up with your own sculpture.

Ok, what's the deal here - a GIS for "snow penis" returns 348 hits, most of them actual snow sculptures, but a GIS for "snow vagina" only returns 60... And not a single one of them is a snow sculpture of a vagina!

Isn't it time someone got the ACLU involved?

The only drawback to making that post is that song has been in my head all farking afternoon.

Seems like some of the people who wrote letters didn't RTFA

Give 'em a break folks. That area of New York is so boring, even the bountiful height of the tech-boom passed it by entirely.

Here's one for you. It's really dark, but you get the idea.

Make this Christmas extra special.. And kill a religious lunatic ASAP.

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time.
It's detachable.

[background singing begins: "detachable penis" over and over]

This comes in handy a lot of the time.
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,
and the next morning I can't for the life of me
remember what I did with it.
First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was,
they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party,
but they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.
I really don't like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man,
and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.
After a few hours of searching the house,
and calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place,
where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket
next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.
I took it home, washed it off,
and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,
but I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable penis.

Farking A right that was the best God Damning that I have seen in a while

In the summer they hold a skeet shoot!

/hey-o!

Calvin always has the best luck finding sticks, ever notice that? All my snowmen ended up looking like they had club-feet for arms.

\Wanna see an icy vagina, I'll introduce you to my EX-girlfriend.

That primus song is so funny.

King Missile. Genius.

/wants to suck Martin Scorsese's eyeballs out of his skull

Megain : Thanks for the best laugh i have had in awhile, definately put me in the christmas spirit

That's no penis! It's a phallic looking snow rocketship dammit.

Ahh my home town of New Windsor NY. Sounds like there is much excitement sturring. What can I say except I am kind of glad I left.

Are you one of those people who puts up comedy songs on p2ps and labels them all 'wierd al' regardless of who actually performed them? Likewise with any song referencing marijuana and Bob Marley?

humans are ashamed of anything about us that reminds us that we are animals.

urine, feces, gas, mucus...
we're even supposed to be ashamed of our reproductive organs and others' reproductive organs.

well said.

People who think kids are going to be traumatized by seeing a penis - let alone a f*cking sculpture of a penis - are either dumb as crap or batshiat farking crazy, and it's high time they're called on it.

That reminds me of a time someone wrote to Dear Abbey (or Ann Landers, I forget which) complaining about men who accompany their young daughters into the men's room when the child needs to pee. The woman wrote something to the effect of "the girl might see a man's penis and be emotionally scarred for life".

The sheer absurdidty of such a statement is just mind-boggling.

Sam_Walton: There's NO penis like SNOW penis, like NO penis I know!

I know it late, but I wanted to come back here and tell you that I've had that damn tune going through my head all evening since I read the thread.

Damn, you! Damn you all to hell! :P

/still was a good post...lol

/The penis is evil, it shoots seed... The gun is good !

I get the impression ol' Joseph has never looked down.

"Connery: I've gotta ask you, about the penis mightier.
Trebeck: The what? No. No no no no no no, that's the pen is mightier.
Connery: Classy it up however you want, Trebeck. What matters is does it work? Will it really mighty my penis, man?
Trebeck: It's not a product Mr Connery.
Connery: Cause I've ordered devices like that before. Wasted a pretty penny, I don't mind tellin you. And if the penis mightier really works, I'll order a dozen.
Trebeck: It's not a penis mightier Mr Connery. There's no such thing.
Cage: Wait, wait, wait. Are you sellin' penis mightiers?
Trebeck: No. No, I'm not.
Connery: Well you're sittin on a gold mine, Trebeck"

It doesn't snow around here, you know the beach and everything....but wait....sand.....I think I'll go out and build a sand penis today.

>"Young children would just see a snow sculpture and not even >know what it was "

>Yeah. Right.

LOL we got in trouble for making a snow penis while waiting at the bus stop in gradeschool, I couldn't have been much over 8.

Careful. Someone might get sand in their vagina over that.
