Satan statue with porn-star penis taken down by City of Vancouver
A small plaza at Clark Drive and Grandview Highway used to be home to a Christopher Columbus statue. But that was years ago.
News reports indicate that, this morning (September 9), East Van commuters noticed that another figure, known by such names as Satan, the Devil, and the Beast, had taken up residence there.
That's not all. This Satan statue bore an erect penis. OMG.
With all the fuss, city crews hastened to remove the statue. It was gone after 3 p.m., according to Global and CTV.
In the name of public art, is anyone going to mount a "Bring Back the Beast" campaign? This could be the new Devil Chilling Park.

Isn't he running for NPA? Kirk LaPointe said he had some exciting new candidates.

@Guido Actually, what Christopher Columbus did to First Nations, on his arrival here, he was actually satanic.

Hey Guido,
The Christopher Columbus was moved to the Italian Garden on the PNE grounds; quite a few years ago. The original space was good but the location was lousy; no one ever walked into that spot unless you were waiting for your car repair. The Italian explorer is better appreciated in the change of location.

Looks like the devils out. Jody won't be needing that anymore now that Mark is back.
