Councillors appalled by giant penis balanced on chair on cover of cultural tourist handbook

Councillors are outraged after the cover of cultural handbook, ZOOM, showed a giant penis balanced on a chair. The council-funded guide - handed out to visitors in Lublin, Poland - was supposed to feature the "cultural splendour" of the city for tourists.

Now angry councillors are demanding to know who was responsible. "This travesty of art is incomprehensible and obscene," said local Law and Justice party spokesman Councillor Sywester Tulajew.



"We demand to know who was responsible for this decision. Why would anyone in their right mind think this was the best way to show off our city's culture?" he added.

One official explained: "We think this was the magazine and its editor trying to look a bit arty and edgy. They seem to forget that most of their readers won't be art critics, they'll be ordinary visitors who'll be shocked by what they see," they added.
