Some consider a statue of a female pirate scantily dressed in Schuylkill county inappropriate.

It has treasure and boots, tight fitting pants and some say not enough clothing on the top. The pirate statue sits in front of a antique store in Girardville and it's ruffling some feathers, especially those of a Roman Catholic priest.

"I believe that it's indecent. I guess it would categorized as soft porn. If there is a definition of that I would call it soft porn," said Father Edward Commolly.

1. LOL

They didn't even have breasts implants back then. That just looks stupid.

:rofl:

edit: Now that I've read what the Catholic priest said about it, I think they should keep it right where it is!

The priest doesn't have to look.

9. If her breasts were bare, would they consider it "art"?

I wonder...

12. I am offended that the boobs don't look more realistic!

:) Kinda Pam Anderson-esque!

13. I like it!

Someone should explain to the good priest what a bargain this is.

Ashcroft spend $60K of the taxpayer's money to cover the exposed breast on the statue of justice. These are already covered. Now that's what I call a good stimulus plan!

14. Dear Roman Catholic Priest,

That is so not even close to soft porn. :eyes:

[tigereye]

15. people need to get over themselves... breasts are not evil nor racy

I bet he would cover up lovely old classical nudes and statues, just like Ashcroft
