Subject: Italian city of Pisa bans penis-themed Leaning Tower trinkets
Written By: King Tut on 08/08/11 at 7:53 pm
More than a million people visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa each year. Some climb it. Others get their picture taken "propping up" the 800-year old slumping building. And, according to Pisa’s mayor, far too many shops around the Tuscan treasure sell erotic-themed souvenirs featuring the tower, Michelangelo’s "David" and other attractions.
The novelty items show up everywhere. In an episode of this season's "Jersey Shore," for example, Deena Cortese was featured wearing an apron showing all of Michelangelo's David.
Now, vendors in Pisa caught selling erotic souvenirs such as underwear with the famous tower posed as a penis and aprons highlighting David's genitalia can face fines of up to $700, the Daily Mail reports.
Mayor Marco Filippeschi calls the souvenirs "trashy" and "not the image of the city we want to cultivate," he said, adding: "This material is offensive to public decorum and should be banned from souvenir stalls — people with young families should not have to see these shocking items."
I wonder how they'd react to trinkets of the Florida state capitol building. (image below)

How about a David apron with a cut-out for your own junk!
