American Exchange Student Gets Stuck in Erotic Sculpture
You’ve heard of the fire department arriving to rescue a cat stranded in a tree . . . but what about helping a student stuck in a giant vagina sculpture?
An American exchange student was dared to climb into a huge-scale statue of a vagina at Germany’s University of Tubingen (the same university whose researchers unearthed one of the world’s oldest dildos in February). When his foot got stuck and the student couldn’t free himself, nearly two dozen firefigthers and paramedics had to be called in to get him out.
Whatever the artist’s original intentions may have been with the erotic sculpture, he or she would probably appreciate the entirely new (and unintentional) artistic angle given to the piece by the distinctive image of a grown man crawling into and then back out of it.
We’re guessing the student is flush with embarrassment at the moment, but give him a few months and it’ll be a cocktail party story for the ages . . . not to mention lively inspiration for any aspiring surrealist painters.
