Berlusconi statue gets controversial penis - Polidicks

[quote] Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has been criticised for ordering a new penis to be attached to a Roman statue of Mars. According to La Repubblica, the 2nd century figure of god of war Mars and goddess of love and beauty Venus was repaired at a cost of €70,000 (£60,000). A new hand was also added to Mars and one to Venus. It is claimed that the work was done "on the express orders of the prime minister" without taking traditional restoration techniques into account. The piece is currently on loan to Berlusconi from Terme di Diocleziano. Berlusconi's architect Mario Catalano claimed that the restoration was authorised and that the additions were fully "removable". However, opposition Democratic Party leader Manuela Ghizzoni criticised the decision to repair the statue while cuts are being made in public spending, adding: "This is real aesthetic surgery carried out on the personal whim of the prime minister."[/quote] [url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/odd/news/a288833/berlusconi-statue-gets-controversial-penis.html]Source[/url] He strikes again.

"eeeekk a penis"

I bet I'm bigger

[QUOTE=Henry Townshend;26182035]I bet I'm bigger[/QUOTE] yeah by a long shot

Expected statue of him with tiny penis

[QUOTE=cjone2;26182250]Expected statue of him with tiny penis[/QUOTE] This. I expected he had a statue of him made, and it had a huge dick or something.

I saw this in the paper this morning. There was a before and after picture and the only difference I saw was the hands added on (Which is stupid and pointless). Unless he added a penis to venus :tinfoil:

What a legend

Express orders to attach a penis? :v:

No pictures? :frown:

[QUOTE=Upgrade123;26182992]No pictures? :frown:[/QUOTE] You can see mine if you want.

[QUOTE=Moby-;26183119]You can see mine if you want.[/QUOTE] Shoot.

He probably requested the new penis himself after he received a new hand

From the Desk of the Prime Minister: Executive Order #12549: The Wang Directive oh man it sounds like a Robert Ludlum book

"Goddamn it it would be so much easier to jerk off to that statue if it had a penis! ...hey wait"

This is the statue in question, before and after: [img]http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01765/statue_1765715b.jpg[/img]

I bet he'll be rock hard.

Why the hell does a stone penis and 2 hands cost €70,000

[QUOTE=Supersheepie;26187284]Why the hell does a stone penis and 2 hands cost €70,000[/QUOTE] Because it's not just rock, it's marble. Also it has to be exactly fit to the already existing statue, which isn't easy at all.

[QUOTE=DrLuke;26188619]Because it's not just rock, it's marble. Also it has to be exactly fit to the already existing statue, which isn't easy at all.[/QUOTE] Is marble ungodly expensive

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;26189517]Is marble ungodly expensive[/QUOTE]No, it's the process of carving a piece and attaching it to fit exactly that is; can't exactly get Bob to do it for a tenner. In any case, it's a waste of money by a complete twat.

some people can't respect how hard this kind of work is

I wish I had a controversial penis

Isn't the EU in some economic crisis in several places?

the penis was not available for question
