This inspirational muse is located just outside of Boston's Planned Parenthood on Commonwealth Ave. The city has long seen this artistic sculpture as inspiration and motivation to not have so many God damn kids if you can't afford them and/or are just going to let them piss all over the T. Sadly, there remains a shockingly high number of Bostonians who have not seen this elegant portrayal of a dude beasting little kids, and who continue to pop out kids like they are mentos.

I agree that the statue is repulsive, but the blogger's tone is part of the reason that women choose abortion.


ETA: A little Googing indicates that the blogger is either lying, or writing humor. The state in the picture is reportedly actually in Oslo according to this: http://www.wired.com/table_of_malcontents/2007/03/funny_artsy_sta/

I would honestly find this insane statue totally hilarious if not for the fact that it is functioning as a piece of eugenicist propaganda.

It looks like I was fooled by a friend. (I had it coming ) This statue is in Norway and was photoshopped. I won't be so hasty to post a thread next time.

Mods can delete or keep if someone wants to discuss.

Yeah the fact that we didn't really doubt it was real speaks volumes. I wasn't even actually looking to see it was really there, I was just trying to find out more about it.
