A Burger King?

That second photo is...wow!

Face down, ass up. That's the way I like my happy meal

Oh so that’s why they started taking the statues out

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago

That and similar incidents probably played a big part in that decision.

Her heart's in the right place but there are an absolute fuck ton of statues of dudes where the bulge/dick is worn from touching.

For example:

"Youth" (uhhhhhhh), Prague Castle, Czech Republic

"Adam and Eve", Monaco

Cristiano Ronaldo, Funchal, Portugal

And more that aren't as famous I'm sure. Any statue with noticable genital features is gonna get this treatment no question.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

That Ronaldo statue has a very prominent bulge!

Her heart was not in the right place, as the point she was trying to make was that men are scum

Charging Bull also known as Bull of Wall Street

Of all the traditions one could use to point out objectification of women, statues was not it. People really do just like getting frisky with statues, regardless of gender

[–] [email protected] 92 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

To be fair, statues are the straightest example of objectifying people.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago

Whoa now, I'm sure there are gay examples of statue objectification.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

You're not wrong. It is literal objectification of people haha ... Just not in the way the OP meant

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Hey now dog statues also get wear down from getting pet. We dont just objectify humans.

Dude's Wikipedia Page is rather interesting. He got shot by Prince Pierre Bonaparte over a proxy duel.

[–] [email protected] 92 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fuck me I thought you meant Ronald McDonald for a minute there

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I've never heard anyone say Prince Pierre Bonaparte didn't shoot Ronald McDonald. Do with that (lack of) information what you will.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like a low quality facts post. "No one has ever cleared Prince Pierre Bonaparte of shooting Ronald McDonald"

Hell, people grope testicles on non-human statues.

The post's statue looks cursed as fuck. The guy looks dead and violated. It's worse than the shiny bull balls.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Yeah cause it's a grave statue. People literally go to a cementery and do this shit. According to wiki it was "kiss lips fondle dick" instead of straddling / grinding, but I guess some people do crazy shit.

But OP the person in the pic is literally asking for this statue fact

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

but will mrs proudman get off her high horse? absolutely not. the path to idiocracy has been chosen.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 weeks ago

Just need another seat for the saddle. It's also horrible that people do this to Victor's grave.

See, when someone identifies a problem, instead of everyone choosing to do worse, we can all do better.

But it's moot. This is just divisive rage bait from a bot farm. No one cares about either of these people, but it reinforces the "women are crazy feminists" rhetoric that makes it so easy to radicalize young men into incels.

People see men fondling a stature: "Hah! What a hilarious pervert." People see a woman stradling a statue: "She must want children."

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Men need to better communicate their domestic desires in sexual pantomime. Like, do a humping gesture but then do a baby rocking gesture then pretend you're playing catch outside. "I'm trying to make a Little Leaguer here!"

Hi it's me, the Victor Noir statue in Paris

She forgot one of the universal truths. Balls are just funny

Some of the bacteria detected, such as Staphylococcus, can be potentially dangerous and can lead to infections including sepsis, conjunctivitis, cystitis as well as endocarditis. For those with weaker immune systems, hand-washing soon after contact with a monument is advisable.

Wear protection, or straight to horny jail.
