I thought Alaska was the Last Frontier, anything goes, no interference with "free expression" etc. I guessnot.

On the other hand:

"We poured our heart and soul into that piece, worked on it for nine months," Dault told The Frontiersman.

Nine months? Really?

say the piece needs to be seen up close to be understood and appreciated.

Oh. My.

It's a good thing it wasn't this sculpture.

Holy Crap, nc. Turn it sideways and it's just an odd looking eye.

Looks like no hoo hoo I ever saw (back in the day). I suppose the Alaskan Art Critics Ass'n would frown on a sculpture of a fist as having sexual connotation, too.

I was sure it was going to be a Manilow, cindy.

Here's the obscene part: $100,000.

Oh, thats just nuts. Correction: one nut, problee a walnut.

You can see more explicit stuff on HBO.

"Thought nannies", sort of a junior thought police???

Good one Clankie Kantget Adate.

In the contiguous US people see Jesus or Mary in just about anything. In Alaska they see a ******. Must be lonely up there.

Posted by: Ross | February 18, 2012 at 02:52 PM

Frigid, Ross. Frigid.

Posted by: Steve | February 18, 2012 at 03:43 PM

Frigid?

Maybe they are tired of the boys staring at it all day...

Posted by: Gary | February 18, 2012 at 04:49 PM

Perhaps they are afraid it will soon be infested with Riff Raff?

Posted by: Make It Rain | February 18, 2012 at 05:08 PM

The school staff is happy.

Posted by: Loudmouth | February 18, 2012 at 05:09 PM
