Whatever the case, I just want all parties involved to chill and STFU. Shit like this shouldn't even be a national issue.
I don't see anything offensive with the exhibit. The penis has always been worshipped in tribal cultures as a symbol of fertility and power. The only religion I know that considered it something "dirty" is Christianity.
I think that the point Mideo was trying to make is that in today's culture, we've replaced our worship of the phallus with images of Christ.
As for offense, well that's the premise of a democracy - the right to voice our opinions and disagreements openly without threat of censorship.
