Apr 8 2009Sexy Pirate Statue Angers Townspeople
Several people in the town of Girardville, Pennsylvania are upset over a busty pirate statue whose magical treasure chest (ZING!) draws scalawags into a local antique store. Amongst the town's most outspoken opponents of the statue is local Roman Catholic Priest, Edward Commolly.
"I believe that it's indecent. I guess it would be categorized as soft porn. If there is a definition of that, I would call it soft porn," said Father Edward Commolly.
Sorry, Father, but the definition of soft porn is the dryhumping you see on Cinemax. This is pure class.
"I think it's art. I don't see nothing wrong with that," said Randy Smith of Girardville.
"I think there is worse on television, to tell you the truth. If they want to do anything they shouldn't worry about a statue, they should start on television," said Heidi Martin.
Good lookin', Randy, totally agree: a statue of a female pirate with her blunderbusst (I could do this all day, folks) hanging out is art in the truest sense of the word. You hear that? Now walk the plank, Picasso! Oh, and valiant effort, Heidi, but they should definitely start on the internet.

Thanks to Nefarious Nick, who totally made a friend take a picture while he was touching her rack. Wow, Nick, you've got problems. Awesome problems! Can I get a copy?

I am guessing he has never been in a mall and walked by a Victorias Secret.
14. taintily smitten - April 8, 2009 4:05 PM
@13 Are you kidding? They've never heard of malls there:

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was dressed up as an amish farmer and when a guy made fun of him he shoved the guy's ice cream cone into his nose.

I would looove to see what goodies Father Thyroid Problem has hidden away on his computer....
18. Adam - April 8, 2009 4:25 PM
Wait, it's cleveage only, no nipples? The thing even has full pants on. Are they seriously getting that upset, I see worse on the jailbait at the mall when I go out.
Give me a break...
However, being in PA my self, I would be more than willing to swing by that shop and take the statue off their hands if it causes too much trouble for them. yeah, then I'd show them what pornographic is...
19. CoinOperatedBoi - April 8, 2009 5:00 PM
@18
Oh...I don't think pornographic is the word at that point lol

oh geez, the is what the oppressive religious mentality does to america. GROW THE FCUK UP AND STOP TRYING TO CONTROL WHAT WE SEE!!!!!!
22. Wes - April 8, 2009 5:14 PM
I think the conclusion we can come to here and unite behind, is that boobies are bad.. Looking at boobies, just makes you want to orgasm. I know that I orgasm every time a pair walks by me.
23. Wes - April 8, 2009 5:15 PM
ohhh.. i watched the video again and came in my pants three times!
24. FWD - April 8, 2009 5:18 PM
I'd hit it
25. Flint - April 8, 2009 6:30 PM
These people are up in the coal mining region of PA. There's nothing up there but coal and pure boredom. It's depressed as hell. So let them have their little porn pirate controversy, it gives them something to do.
26. Murphy - April 8, 2009 6:35 PM
how would a priest know about soft porn, hmmmm? :-O
27. Jared - April 8, 2009 6:36 PM
I'm sure the priest would have MUCH rather have seen a "Soft Porn" 8 year-old boy in pajamas or something.
28. Galtacticus - April 8, 2009 6:46 PM
Nipples are covered! So what's the big deal?
29. Dr.Necropolis - April 8, 2009 6:59 PM
Ummm, I see girls walking around the street wearing more revealing outfits than that. THough the idea of a minister parading with his flock to the store to have a good old fashioned Pitchforked Monster Burning is pretty funny to me
30. darkfall13 - April 8, 2009 7:25 PM
Total win for the antique store. And I'm no expert, merely took a basic class for fun but one of the topic we covered was if a drive-in movie theater was showing a porno and you could see it from your house, "too bad for you, avert your eyes," I believe the prof said. Would this fall under the same category? And either way, it's not like she's doing anything suggestive, merely standing, looking sexy, driving the Catholics crazy, all good in my book. Oooh if it was a scantily clad boy they'd want to buy it HIYO!
31. Buckeye Voter - April 8, 2009 9:56 PM
Don't let those people in an art museum, for cryin' out loud.

@18: Worse? or....... BETTER? ;)
33. Matt - April 8, 2009 11:09 PM
Just goes to show how sad Pennsylvania is. I live in Maryland and we have that exact same statue in the front of a beach themed bar in my town. And to my knowledge, no one has ever complained about it. Probably because it has a sweet pirate rack!
34. Zbigniew - April 8, 2009 11:18 PM
If memory serves me, a certain guy (whose name rhymes with Jebus) wore very, very little on his big crucifixion day. He just had a little loin-cloth rag around his man parts. Why doen't Mr Fatprist cry about it when the son of god poses 90% naked on every crucifix. That is soft porn, yet they hang one on every wall in every church.
As a pastafarian, I must say that I fully support pirate strippers. -RAmen!
35. Ciner - April 9, 2009 12:28 AM
So the preacher knows what to categorize it as... so therefore he knows all definitions of soft core hard core etc. Meaning hes either watched porn or he may just go after little boys. Either way I'm sure that his computer has a pirate treasure of secrets on it
36. hgonc2 - April 9, 2009 1:21 AM
They should replace it w/ a copy of Venus di Milo...
37. hgonc2 - April 9, 2009 1:31 AM
... THEN add a bra & tack on the arms from the pirate statue! HA!
38. thumper - April 9, 2009 1:39 AM
So, I wonder what the priest makes of the naked figures adorning the ceiling of the sistine chapel, that attract thousands of people every year! Maybe we should shut that down too! What a complete plonker. This is pure bullying, which shows the hypocrisy of religion.
They'll probably try and stone the poor woman next week.
39. Somebody - April 9, 2009 1:56 AM
Figures...all this time priests "allegedly" molested young boys and girls are disturbed of a statue of a feminine pirate? Is this the same cult that said the earth was the center of the universe and that condoms don't work? all in favor of a gag order on catholic authority say PEW!
PEW to the power of SICK!
40. JJtoob - April 9, 2009 2:30 AM
I like how the priest tries to play it off as ignorant of what soft porn is.
@34 According to Wikipedia, crucifixions were done with the "criminal" naked. The Bible says that the soldiers gambled over Jesus' clothes, so what some religions did was create a soft porn version (the little loin-cloth rag around Jesus' privates), so people wouldn't get too excited. You know, while we are on the subject, don't all crucifixes show Jesus as an annorexic? I thought Jesus only fasted that one time, I know, Ghandi right? But I like to picture my Jesus as a strong bodied person. But I know some people like to picture their Jesus with a tuxido shirt which is nowhere near the topic by now.

44. jpbal2 - April 9, 2009 5:14 AM

45. slawek - April 9, 2009 5:53 AM

46. SmokingGirl - April 9, 2009 6:46 AM
@40, Wikipedia is exactly correct; Christ would have been completely naked on the cross per. Roman law.
And actually, Michelangelo has been one of the very few artists who has ever depicted Christ as how he would have "been", i.e. muscular; just as he did with Peter and John the Baptist. However, Michelangelo was racked over the proverbial coals with his depictions because the Church felt that such a muscular representation didn't show the "fraility" or "weakness" of Jesus, the bodily encasing for the Christ.
And it should be pointed out that also around this time is when you're also getting the visual depictions of Satan/the Devil/Lucifer enmass. Michelangelo depicted said entities also as they would "be", i.e. beautiful, and again he was bitched at by the Church. They felt that making such evil beasties beautiful, theologically sound or not, would give people the wrong impression. So the Church instead endorsed those religious artists who give us the Devil that we know and love today, the red-skinned, horned head, and pointy tailed monstrosity.
Was it wrong of the Church to do this? Meh, yes and no; you can see both sides of the issue. But in the end, unfortunantly, the depictions of both Christ and Lucifer have been tainted by decisions of yore, and now we're stuck with them. Including, but not limited to, the loin-cloth present on all crucifixes that many now assume to be historically accurate.

in the immortal words of edger friendly.... "You got that right. You see, according to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy that could sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, 'Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side order of greasy fries?' I want high cholesterol. I would eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigars the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I might suddenly feel the need to, okay pal? I've seen the future. Know what it is? It's a 47 year old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing 'I'm an Oscar Meyer weiner.'"
