Gene Brake, a local resident and founder of the Jose Sarria Foundation, told [KESQ-TV], "The proposed memorial looks like a graphic depiction of the backside of a human being

Look on the bright side – there are no dingleberries.

OK, that one is just silly. Anyone who thinks that big gold ring looks like an anus just has some kind of pathological obsession with anuses. Someone is wearing a wedding band?
