I was just watching a show about gardens in the Midwest, and one of the sections was about a man who created his own world-class, internationally recognized garden. Fountains, stone pathways, hundreds of different plants, the whole shebang. The centerpiece of this garden is a replica statue of David, located in an ornately designed patio. They

D:
I love that statue. If I saw that with a leaf I would get all up in arms over it. Lectures on beauty accompanied with overly dramatic actions. Et cetera.

Mentally stagnant is no good. I suggest creative expression... if anything it would keep you busy? Paint, sculpt... sculpt your own statue of David but go the opposite direction of that other guy: instead of a leaf put your own face or something.

What? I would go down on David. And I am aware such a claim cheapens the whole thing, but then I am a cheap girl.

I lack sleep, forgive this comment.

My own face? Haha. No, I think I'd just keep it simple and make the dick enormous. I wouldn't mind a piece of that rock hard (literally) ass myself.

GOD TELLS US WE HAVE SHAME SHAAAAAAME. COVER IT UP WITH A LEAF. Now that's it for that stupid moment we all expect. The leaf cover is silly and the person, despite the rest of the work done on the garden, can't get over something like a phallus in an awesome looking garden. Their loss through and through. Then again, it's their choice and can do whatever they want, regardless of how dumb it is.

Drunk people + political debate = divide by 0.

to be fair, he didn't do the leaf thing himself. in the victorian era and roundabouts, they had a thing about modifying older art to fit their mores. for example, in the nineteenth century, replacement panels were made for the adam and eve wings of the ghent altarpiece by jan and hubert van eyck, painted in the early 1400s. in the reproduction wings, adam and eve are wearing little fur clothes. it's very silly.

the reproduction of the david exhibited in england had a detachable leaf made for it during the victorian era so that impressionable ladies could be protected from the sight of a penis, i kid you not. this guy's reproduction used that prototype. the fact that that was the one he chose is sad, but just goes to show that the victorians were nutcases.
