THE BIG COVERUP
An Austrian sculpture of a naked Jesus Christ on a cross has anti-pornography activists reaching for more than fig leaves.
Activist Martin Humer, 82, and about 100 of his supporters are organizing a protest in an attempt to pressure officials to remove the crucifix sculpture from an Innsbruck public square where it has stood for 20 years.
Mayor Hilde Zach said the crucifix is a work of art and in no way pornographic. She refused to have it removed.
Humer, a retired photographer, gained notoriety last year after he was charged with defacing a nude Mozart statue in Salzburg with red and green enamel and covering it with white feathers.
OMG, what's this world coming to? First some guy wants to eat the anatomically correct, chocolate Jesus display in New York and now this.
