Sick art again



We read:
"A Lowell [MI] man is calling on Christians to boycott Midwest retailer Meijer to pressure Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park to remove a decapitated bronze statue of Jesus Christ in a Jim Dine sculpture.

In addition to asking Christians to boycott Meijer's nearly 200 stores across five states, Wohlschied is also calling on Christians who volunteer at Meijer Gardens to stop donating their time to the non-profit organization until “profane art piece” is removed.

“If Meijer Gardens is going to continue with blasphemous sculptures, I recommend they exhibit a headless Mohammad sculpture. I am willing to say they wouldn't dare to do it,” Wohlschied said.

They're entitled to put up any art they like -- and other people are entitled to boycott them over it. It's a strange mindset that would want to alienate many of their customers, though.

When can we expect to see a headless sculpture of Mohamhead?

The "artists" does not have the (bronze) stones for that!

Insulting Islam is a sure fire way to get killed.

Look on the bright side if Phelps goes ahead with his planned protest, we can make our point and get rid of a bunch of morons at the same time!

Sort of a win-win if you ask me!

How would liberals react to a decappitaed image of OBAMA?

"if this "art" is made public, we can't help but see it."

Then poke your eyes out with an ice pick. That way you will stay pure until the day you die. You won't have to see ANYTHING objectionable.
