Before even clicking on this article, I was thinking, I wonder how far south this city will be. I wasn't disappointed.

"Because they're sculptures, they're considered art." Priceless.

How dare they be putting up statues of nekkid people in my city!

I'm sure kids seeing "mens parts" is going to scar them for life!
Having seen the Wings of the City sculptures, I'm not sure what the councilman means by "extreme nudity."  The genitalia is not particularly defined.  On the other hand, I'm wondering exactly what values and ideals of Greenville - or any city - the sculptures are supposed to represent.

Before even clicking on this article, I was thinking, I wonder how far south this city will be. I wasn't disappointed.

Ah, there it is.  The Genetic Fallacy masquerading as "enlightenment."  You must have been top of your class in college.

Ten years ago: Former hedge fund titan Raj Rajaratnam was convicted by a federal jury in New York in an insider-trading case of five counts of conspiracy and nine of securities fraud. (Rajaratnam was sentenced to 11 years in prison.)
...

He's probably already out but worst case scenario, one more year. I wonder how much of it he was able to stash away.

Yeah, sorry, but "ohmygod there's a penis on that art!" has southern "morality" written all over it. While genetic fallacy was clearly behind my initial reaction, I feel that the article itself proved what I expected it to. Is a stereotype still a stereotype when it's proved to be true?

I would love to hear a debate about nudity v. extreme nudity, cause I'm dying to hear the subtle differences involved.
