Obama, Putin penis painting confiscated by Russian Police

Moscow - Russian police have raided an erotica museum in St Petersburg and confiscated a painting showing a naked Vladimir Putin with an erect penis squaring off at his equally naked US counterpart Barack Obama, a curator said on Wednesday.

The raid on the museum, which describes itself as one of the largest erotica museums in Europe, took place on Tuesday night ahead of Obama's expected arrival in Russia's second city to take part in the G20 summit later this week.

The museum's curator, Alexander Donskoi, said the museum was temporarily shut down, suggesting that the gesture was political.

“I do not understand why it's necessary to mix arts and politics,” he told AFP.

This is not the only trouble to befall the museum and its owner.
Artist Konstantin Altunin, whose four paintings were confiscated by police, fled to France in late August and applied for asylum in Paris.
Police also raided Donskoy’s another controversial enterprise in St. Petersburg, the G-Spot erotica museum, confiscating “Wrestling,” a portrait featuring Putin and US President Barack Obama dueling with oversized, multi-colored penises.

Donskoy, a former mayor of the Arctic city of Archangelsk, received a suspended three-year jail sentence for abuse of power and was fined for using forged documents in 2008. He claimed that the charges against him were concocted after he declared presidential ambitions in 2006, Russian media reported.

...at work . It goes like this: 'What? They have bigger dicks? Bomb them!' And of course, the bombs, the rockets, and the bullets are all shaped like penises. Phallic weapons. There's an unconscious need to project the national penis into the affairs of others. It's called 'fucking with people'.
