Town Upset by ‘Anatomically Correct’ Gargoyle?

An artist in Arizona, US, has become rather unpopular with his neighbours by erecting a nine foot tall “anatomically correct” gargoyle in the grounds of his home.

And what makes David Smith’s gargoyle “anatomically correct”? Well the gargoyle is quite obviously male, with everything such a large man would have in proportion. He says he wasn’t trying to offend anyone, explaining that “everything has a sex”, but it seems his neighbours don’t like the view.

Now the county authorities have got involved, and he’s been told he must remove the statue or at least cover its manhood with hotpants, otherwise facing a fine of $1000.
