Even with all the perks of being a pirate -- peg legs, parrots, eye patches, rum -- everyone knows the best part of the pirate lifestyle was getting the motion in your ocean on with a lusty pirate wench. So it should come as no surprise that one artist decided to immortalize a wench with a well put together statue with some eye-popping boobs. Unfortunately, this lovely piece of history is creating controversy in a Pennsylvania town.
The statue, clad in tight-fitting pants and a low-cut, midriff-baring top, sits outside an antique store, where it has apparently offended a local priest, who likens the swashbuckling siren to "soft porn."
According to the store owner Peggy Kanigoski, "He pointed to the statue and very dictatorially and said, 'I curse you. I curse this place. I want to see this destroyed. I want her destroyed.'"
It's a shame this statue can't defend herself from these violent intentions because with her hook hand and gun, it looks like she could do some damage.

This creepy evil elf babe looks like she's either going to kill someone or masturbate. Either one would be kind of hot.

Is it just us or does that woman seem to be excited by the prospect of getting licked by the spawn of hell?
Excessive chrome is a telltale detail common in late 80s nerd porn.
It's amazing that more girls weren't tempted to play Dungeons and Dragons.

I'm sick and tired of idiots labeling all priests as molesters. I'm sure tj wouldn't mind that I decide that by his perverted actions that I label all people in his family perverts too.
And no, you can not do what you want.

It seems that people like "tj," "Hugh," "Jimmy," "cc,' "Fern," and others really seem to have issues with molestation. It appears that either they were molested by someone, or, in some cases, may be trying to deal with the same propensities in themselves. In the meantime, they can only protect themselves by attacking others, without regard for fairness. The feeling is "if one's guilty, they all are!" Sorta like the reason for, let's say, massacring Native Americans in the nineteenth century, or Vietnamese villagers at My Lai in 1968. I'm used to the Haters coming out of the woodwork and crawling down the wall, every time religion is even briefly mentioned - this is how they deal with their fears: by expressing Hate for others. But to label a priest a child molester because he takes offense at a statue, is beyond acceptable. I also have my doubts as to the truthfulness of the alleged comments reported by the store owner. To believe them, I would need a credible witness to verify that they were at least somewhere close to verbatim. I don't believe that they were!

My priest said they felt soft, so it is soft porn to him. I believe whatever he says because religion controls my life. The best part of attending mass is seeing Mrs. Hinkerdink. GULP, tank you!

I completely agree with the priests. There is no reason for the indency. This lady can do something else to entice customers. This is totally uncalled for.
All everyone does is run down what is right and don't care about morals because the people of the world today, really have no morals and don't even know what it means. To them there is no wrong and that is why the world and the people are in the situation today. No conscience - not doing what is right.

I have a message to the religious community. Where is the love, mercy, compassion, understanding that you are suppose to show your fellow man especially around these religious holiday times? Why are you so petty over stupid issues like this, the way you alienate and discriminate (Where is God's Love in your actions). Why are you so judgemental, condemning? Take the hypocrital plank out or your own eye. There are more important issues everyday!!!!!!! Viewing ART does not make someone a pervert. God does not make junk. Our founding father sought religious freedom and now you turn and descriminate others theirs. The Modern Church methods are why so many are deserters and hit the bars. You drive people to drink.

Not all priests are molesters. In fact 99% of them aren't. Your comments are offensive. This priest got a little carried away with himself, but he does have the right to his opinion. Anyway, there are probably children in that neighborhood. If she wants to have the statue I guess that's her right, but can't she keep it inside the store?

This statue is suggestive and provocative, but certainly not obscene. The store owner doesn't have the right to tell the priest what to do in his church, and the priest doesn't have the right to tell this store owner what he can do in his own store. The priest is way out of line. Personally I get sick of seeing statues of Jesus and gigantic crosses along the interstate, but hey....it is a free country. I think the entire world would be a better place if people stopped believing in fairy tales (like ALL religions) and lived for the moment versus living for a "make believe" afterlife.

Seems to me the priest has forgotten, it's NOT his job to judge. Just another example of the religious hypocracy in this country.

The time in history where the church decides on what we think, how we think, and what we should do is over...
God did not put men on this earth as priests to dictate to the rest of us...they should be put in their place and preach in their pulpit...
The days of preachers pulling us out of movie theatres, off the dance floor and criticizing us in public to put us in our place is OVER!!!
THANK GOD

God forbid someone actually challenge any of us to live a life called to a better standard. If anyone ever stopped judging the Church's teachings long enough to use logical and critical thinking skills, they might find it is not a simple "rule" it is years and years of intelligence, experience, and morality lessons learned by those who went before us.
And if you can only protect your immoral life by projecting immoral views, perhaps you need a retreat!
PS Pedophiles come in all types, they simply get more publicity when they belong to a less popular group. If anyone that knew ANYTHING about pedophilia researched during the "scandals" they would have seen the majority of clergy committing these crimes did not belong to the Catholic Church but the Protestant - but no one did it becuase they were religious, they did it because they were mentally ill. The two - three pedophiles who live on each and everyone of our streets probably aren't clergy - but they are there - look them up for yourself in your state's pedophilie watch website.

TAR Nations....So a priest with a wooden wench walk into a bar. The priest asks if they serve shoe strings and the bartender replies: I'm a frayed knot. TAR
