Restored Body Parts Horrifies Critics
For some reason, Cabbage Boy provides a link in the comments section with this note: "No reason to panic, but here is a story that screams POST ME ON HUCKLEBERRIES." Indeed, a controversial decision by Italy Premier Silvio Berlusconi to restore body parts to marble statues of Venus & Mars seems to be up Hucks alley. Seems art restorers are horrified by the decision. Berlusconi responds that the hand added to Venus and the penis added to Mars are made of
resin, attached by magnets and can be removed without damage. AP story here. (AP

Question: Should the body parts have been added back to the statues?
