Quote of the Day

Some people love making wacky Christmas decorations to stand out from the hordes of fat plastic Santas with plastic reindeer and their dead, lifeless eyes. But when you put a Santa hat and white beard on a replica of the nude Michelangelo’s David statue, well, kids might start asking questions.

A Texas homeowner who adorned his front lawn with Michelangelo’s “David” as a scantily clad Santa got more than just jolly laughs from his neighbors.

Barry McBee says he was aiming to make people chuckle by adding a Santa hat and white beard to the 5-foot-tall replica of the Renaissance statue with six-pack abs.

Then parents started calling city officials in Big Spring, about 290 miles west of Dallas, saying their children asked, “Why Santa is naked?”

The city said the statue did not violate any town ordinances and there were no obscenity issues. But an official left McBee a voice mail last week, requesting that he put more clothes on David.
