Snow jobs
An Akron, Ohio housewife who built a snow-woman with breasts was visited by a police officer who advised that the department had received a call about an "indecent snow figure". At first, she covered the offending orbs, a la John Ashcroft, but then reconsidered and decided to remove the covering and let 'em shine. (Source: Akron Beacon Journal - photo included with story)
At Harvard, one or more students destroyed a nine-foot snow penis that other students (whose sex was not disclosed) had, um, erected. "It was offensive because it was pornographic," said a female student who admitted destroying the work. "As a feminist, pornography is degrading to women and creates a violent atmosphere." At a later point, she is quoted thus: "Men think they have the right to force that on you. It’s a logical extension." (Source: Harvard Crimson - photo here)
Perhaps it's a good thing that this woman cannot talk in complete or coherent sentences. Her thought patterns have gone awry.
A hilarious quote from a Women's Studies lecturer was pointed out (so to speak) by Andrew Sullivan:
"She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles."
Update -- A similar sculpture has been up at the University of Toronto since January, without any fuss. We would only note that this one is more missile-like, more obeliskesque, than the Harvard offering. The Canadians consider it "anatomically correct". Maybe it is, for them.
Further update -- A commenter at the bust.com Lounge says:
This is kind of like a Celebrity Death Match in a sense that you get to watch two hated figures (in this case the asshole frat-boy and the anal-retentive whining campus bitch) go at it! They could make this into the next reality TV show!
(What is bust.com? Who knows? Even after visiting the site, I cannot tell.)
