Penis puppetry angers church

http://townsvillebulletin.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,7034,9789105%255E14787,00.html

"THE controversial genital origami show Puppetry of the Penis, to be performed in Townsville tomorrow, is again attracting record ticket sales in the Townsville region, but has also drawn the wrath of church groups, who have described the production as "animalistic" and "degrading".

The Townsville Calvary Assembly of God said yesterday the Townsville City Council should be "ashamed" of permitting the contentious naked stage production to be performed in a family-oriented community."

26. I work with a guy who was in the show.

In the US, UK and down under.

[rooboy]

28. I remember when it first started in the '90's...

it got promoted heavily by Mick Malloy and Tony Martin in Oz on their radio show. I seem to recall that Mick Malloy's brother ended up IN the show at some stage.

I'm surprised to discover it's still going.

32. I love this line:

from the history link on the site:

"As a young boy, Friendy began his Dick Trick career in the bath and developed his skills further when he discovered beer in college."

2. Isn't Townsville...

where the Power-Puff Girls live?

[Throckmorton]

3. I think it's bizarre myself, but if it keeps those uptight people

busy, it's probably a good thing! :)

[ElectroPrincess]

6. Arrrgh! <giggles>

Agreed! The citizens of TOWNSVILLE had their Mojo Jojo going-on with that event. Call the Professor, The Power Puff Girls and da Mayor!!! It's no doubt a Network (as in Cartoon) Crime for people to dick around with these good folks and their uptight moral codes. :P

11. right on. n/t

19. Nor humor.

Humor is clearly the work of the devil!

21. I've always thought that it was God's sense of humor at work ...

I mean, no disrespect to all you guys out there, but the size, shape, and position of that organ can have some rather comical results. When one considers the reproductive organs of non-mammals, it appears to be a bit of an afterthought. It just isn't accommodated well in many types of clothing (as we witnessed with W's flight suit), and it's rather vulnerable. (If things were logical, men would be the ones riding side-saddle ...)

I haven't seen the "Puppetry of the Penis", but friends have claimed it's hilarious while being respectful, and not at all dirty or mean-spirited. One claimed that she will not call people "schmucks" or "dinks" anymore as an insult, now that she's more aware of what an amazing thing it really is.

[HuckleB]

25. A truer post has not been seen on DU.

I swear.

Indeed, it isn't accommodated will in many types of clothing, and it's rather vulnerable, as any ballplayer who has "failed" a cup check can attest.

10. Japan Has A Very Old Tradition Of Dressing Up Penises In Paper "Masks"

so that couples can play act.

Inventive love games that use the Imagination.

:thumbsup:

27. Is that kind of like when a man

pretends to be Pinocchio (another kind of puppet!) and says, "sit on my face and I'll tell you lies!"?

[Nlighten1]

12. Ummm

Insert tasteless Catholic priest joke here.

[struggle4progress]

13. Would it help if the puppeteers did Bible stories? eom

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. I guess they won't like "Vagina Monologues" either...

[Parche]

22. plays

Put those 2 plays together and we would have an uproar
from the krishtun coalition

[KittyWampus]

15. The Passion Of The Easter Bunny Done With Penis Puppets!

[Ghlif]

16. Sure when someone besides me does it, it's art...bah!

[BiggJawn]

17. Guess we're just not "Avant Gard" looking enough....

That's why they mistake us for common Pervs....:-)

and howdy!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

18. "Church Groups" ??? one AG minister is quoted as "church

groups"... what is up with that?

Way to go, Oz.

Glad to know that shitheel journalists are not confined to the USA.

Welcome to the world.

[sangh0]

There's much better uses for penii then puppetry....which reminds me....

[arwalden]

31. If It "Angers The Church", Then I'm Going. What Better RECOMMENDATION...

They've guaranteed that the show's run will be successful.
