“Why are we spending $50,000 on an embarrassing penis?” This is the question Dunedin, New Zealand city council member Lee Vandervis has asked over a new public sculpture, titled Haka Peep Show, that has been erected in the city center.
Installed to coincide with the Rugby World Cup, the 5-meter structure features portholes in which rugby fans can watch videos of a haka, a traditional dance and chant practiced by, among others, New Zealand's celebrated All Blacks rugby squad.

What a cock.

Why’s it gotta be black?

Okay, so it may be inspired by a deodorant can, but the thing does look an awful lot like a lingam.

 

[Trekker4747]

Ahh, the human race and our phallic images. We're awesome aren't we?

That's the only reason he's upset, isn't it.

Beat you to it. (Second post, note the bold part in quoted text.)

Ah yes. A bit of a cock up on my part.

 

[Trekker4747]

It's okay, we all make dicks of ourselves from time to time.

Well, once you go giant structure...




I can't think of a rhyme.

Whoever designed that statue was certainly cocksure of himself.

Oh yeah, and visit Dunedin. We're broke as hell after building a $200 million stadium which is gonna drain the council's pockets for the next 20 years.

Maybe the stadium should have been designed in the image of a giant penis?

On the gender of the artist, well then obviously her design comes from a sub-conscious our conscious sense of jealousy over the power of the male ego and reproductive organs.

^^^ Well, she did say:

When confronted about her aesthetic decision, artist Rachael Rakena assured the press that she “thought about it long and hard before deciding.”
