Be sure to click on the Digby link at the end of Cole's post.

And also mad at the hotel for deliberatly setting up a provocative exhibit and then freaking out when it, well, provoked.

i brought this up at dinner the other night.....maybe i'm missing something, or several somethings, but what exactly is the big deal about the sculpture? why is it offensive? because it's chocolate, not marble? or is it that it's anatomically correct and nude?
i thought the knee jerk hysteria was comparable to the muslims regarding the mohammed cartoons in the newspapers last year. of course everyone tsk tsk'd that reaction--but this is about jesus, so i guess it's 'different'. glad as always to see that cooler heads prevail.
