After a short stay in America, Michaelangelo's David is returned to Europe.

Thanks to Brenda for this post that came via her friend Bob in New York City.

This would not be an attempt to in any way make fun of the spherically-challenged among us, would it? I mean, fat statues have feelings, too!

Ha! I was just thinking that David has had one too many Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

His legs and arms still look sort of okay, but the man-titties would be the deal-breaker for this gal. UGGGGGHHH! The floppy ol' gut won't be attracting any nookie from girl-statues, either...

This is funny, as Homer Simpson would say, because it's true.

It's a fitting symbol for the excess of consumption (in every sense), which america epitomises, that we all engage in, to our detriment.

I've been engaging in an excess consumption of crisps and chocolate lately, and boy, has it been to my detriment. thank you for you point, which gives us FOOD for thought (ha).
Loved the 'fat statues have feelings too' but we don't want to call them fat, do we?
