Genitalled Gargoyle Galls Gawkers
A West Palm Beach strip club has a fully-equipped male gargoyle sculpture as a mascot. I'm sure you will be shocked to learn this has caused a controversy. Of course, just how big a controversy is a matter of debate.
"This statue has an impressive (!) genital area," Sager e-mailed Assistant County Attorney Lenny Berger.
But Berger, who has a background with the county's arts council, looked at the photos and fired back this response: "You call that impressive? You need a zoom lens to photograph it!"
I don't think there's anything I can add to that.
Post title stolen shamelessly from the mailing list wherein I first saw the story.

I'm baffled by this. "An anatomically correct gargoyle..." What's an anatomically correct gargoyle?
I'm not sure, I guess we need to ask a gargoyle. Anyone got Robert Novak's e-mail address?
You can write to the gargoyle at novakevans@aol.com. At least, that's the email linked to his byline in his most recent Sun-Times column. If you write Novak, be sure to link the Palm Beach gargoyle story, and include any available photos of the offending genitals. I look forward to seeing the controversy of correct gargoyle anatomy resolved quickly.
Novak: "A Bush administration official said that the gargoyle's genetalia resembled that of former ambassador Joseph Wilson...."
Wow, he makes Colin Farrell so yesterday!
About fifty-odd years ago, the proud and regal brass lion outside the Canadian Parliament building had its anatomy "corrected" because the Prime Minister's wife didn't think the public needed to see everything the lion symbolized, so to speak.
