You know... as I get older... I come more and more to an unescapable conclusion about people.
Some people just take life, the universe, and everything too fucking seriously. And this is a perfect example. My favorite bit was that they destroyed the phallus not only because they were offended, but because they *didn't want anyone else to be offended*. WOW!! That is a high calling indeed. If I wanted to prevent anyone from being offended, probably the best I could do would be to stay in bed all day. (And even then, my wife would probably have something to say to me.)
If these womyn were so offended by the display of the snow penis, I'm not going to blame them and I'm not going to say they shouldn't have been offended. (I personally think it was tacky and, like UT, suspect that it says something about the sculptors.) But there are many more positive ways they could have expressed their offense without disturbing the sculpture itself, that would have probably done them a lot more good in terms of the image they portrayed of themselves. (Castrating woman stereotypes, anybody??)
