To whoever reported it I say this. I know its nudity but its the statue of David. I'm not censoring the statue of David lol.
A while ago, I went to Good Will and saw (and bought) a stone relief of the Vitruvian Man. I love the art itself, but even better was that the staff of the store had taped a tiny piece of paper over the genitalia. That will never not be funny.
Actually, Michelangelo made it small on purpose, because big ones were seen as a sign of low intelligence and animal-like behavior back then. Probably for racism reasons.
An ancient cracked.com article posited that, seen from above - as might be the theoretical perspective of the sculptor - every aspect of the statue represents the subject being in a state of fear, due to being about to fight Goliath, hence the shrinkage.
Unfortunately I cannot find the article, nor prove this to be the case.
I remember it!
Well, that means you are my new best friend. Sorry if you weren't looking for one - the process is automatic.
When you look at anything, always consider racism reasons
Oh sweet, I'm like a fucking genius then
Why is it so smooth and pointy?
It was the style at the time.
I see no onions!
They're hanging just behind David's Johnson.
Original looks perfectly normal to me guys.
Oh, internet, bringer of smooth-pointy weiners...
Why is it pointy
Isn't yours?
I think I know why the statues have tinny wangs.
Growers not showers?
