Leave it to the Chinese….
This from my endless surfing on the net:
“A Chinese theme park has built what it claims is the world’s largest penis. The 30ft totem stands at Longwan Shaman Amusement Park in Changchun city. The 30ft erection, named Sky Pillar, has been built at Longwan Shaman Amusement Park in Changchun city. Builders wrapped more than 6500ft of straw around the steel structure which stands on an altar atop 1250ft high Qinlong Hill.
“It is a totem of Shamanistic culture, which originated in this city,” says the president of the park, Cheng Weiguang.
Legend says a Shaman hero named Ewenki vanquished a cruel female ruler and gave her a penis totem, telling her to respect males and not kill them at will. After this, the ruler set a penis totem on top of the hill, reports East Asia Economic and Trade News. Shi Lixue, director of the China Folk Culture Association, backed the project, saying: “It symbolises our ancestors’ pursuit of happiness and prosperity.”
And, although some tourists said they felt uncomfortable about the statue, others were unmoved. “It’s just a pillar. I don’t care. It can be a symbol of the park,” said one mother who was visiting the park with her child.”
My only comments…. you have to like the Chinese for making a dick monument to symbolize pursuit of happiness and how come Disney doesn’t have anything like that in the Magic Kingdom?
Vicky you are always great but i don’t know… disney is only for children and this are adult things for be in Magic Kingdom 🙂
Vicky — This reminds me of Gustav Vigeland’s sculpture park in Oslo, Norway. I visited your homeland about 30 years ago — I spent 5 days in Oslo — I even had breakfast in a workingman’s deli — I looked around at what others were eating for breakfast, and I had the same — pickled herring with pickled onions — for breakfast! — it was DELICIOUS! Just the thing to start off the morning and look at Vigeland’s erections — it’s a good thing I wore snug underwear that day! I thought the Norwegians were the friedliest people in Europe (after my people, the Czechs). I should sav up for a return trip to Norge — I never had time to visit Bergen. xoXOxo Georgie M
