Phallic Sculpture Flap

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Some foreign visitors and flight crew have demanded the removal of a giant wooden sculpture of a penis on display at Taipei’s international airport.
The sculpture is part of an exhibition of items from the Thou tribe, one of Taiwan’s ten tribes, and it has been referred to as “The Thing” by foreign crew members and flight attendants.
Some offended people have posted photos of the sculpture on their websites.
Representatives of the Taoyuan International Airport were going to move the sculpture to a quieter corner of the exhibit, but the Thou tribe refused, saying that, since ancient times, the giant phallus has been used to appease their region’s female “mountain god,” who will unleash rocks and mudslides if angered.
The Thou tribe also pointed out that some Japanese people also worship phallic sculptures as fertility symbols and that many Japanese visitors to the airport have posed for photos with the sculpture, as reported in the Asia Pacific News.
Airport authorities are weighing their options as to what the final outcome will be concerning the phallus.
