A mayor in Malta has called for a statue to be taken down before the Pope visits his town this weekend. The artwork in question, the 'Colonna Mediterranea', is a sculpture by local artist Paul Vella Critien, and since 2006 has stood at a roundabout in Luqa, near to Maltaís international airport. Pope Benedict XVI is due to be driven past it when he visits Malta on April 17th and 18th.
John Schembri, the mayor of Luqa, has described the sculpture as 'vulgar' and 'embarrassing', and has demanded it's removed as 'it is not the most fitting way in which to greet the Pope.'
The government says they've got no plans to get ride of the statue, whilst Critien called detractors of it 'ignorant' and' stupid' and said it wasn't a giant penis, but an ancient Egyptian symbol..

good idea, no sense in getting him aroused on a trip.

Since the pope is a male, he has seen a penis before.

I do not know of any penis that looks like that, and if the mayor's does look like that I suggest that he go to a doctor ASAP.
