How stupid and ignorant. The evil side of me says we find some of these photos and photoshop a bunch of large genitalia into them and see if we canā€™t get them to go viral.

If heā€™s really so adamant that horse statue cock be covered, they could have just rolled a big condom onto it. Itā€™s much easier.

Fairā€™s fair. Next time Iran hosts a head of state from Italy they should show respect by hanging nude photos everywhere.

I consider it verging on satire; condescending mockery.

Aw, poor widdle diddums canā€™t hack genitalia. Okay, if we humour him, thatā€™ll generate more ridicule - win-win.
