nude replica

This 40-foot replica of Michelangelo's David also caused much controversy in the city years ago. The gigantic figure in its nude splendour caused local "moralists" from all walks of life, from 'Christian' fundamentalists to politicians, to blush pinkish-red.

Or bluish-purple if not tisay/tisoy.*

So aghast were blushing politicians claiming to be vanguards of children's and women's welfare that they threatened to tear down the blasphemous statue for its gross violations and moral affront. The statue was one of the attractions of a constructed Baywalk Park built by a motel owner over a public beachfront land whose thriving business was located just nearby. The park was part of the motel owner's agreement with the government to build a seawall in his vicinity to prevent erosion.

The Mayor however, did a Solomonic decision. For legality's sake he may compromise with "moralists" to tear down the structure, but he must also include all other structures and beach resorts illegaly built on public shorelines of the city, including resorts owned by some politicians.

For the moment, the Baywalk construction was temporarily halted.

Meanwhile, adults and less malicious children continue to visit the area replete with other attractions like a pool with juvenile sharks and a mini zoo with sexy ostriches.
