In Jamaica, the "Redemption Song" statue is dedicated to the end of slavery. Instead of chain-breaking and other cliche imagery, the statue chose to show the awe and relief of freedom.
But the guy has a gigantic dick.
Reporters have really filthy minds when they dedicate themselves to it, and they really like to play games...even in the super-serious British press. The first time I realized this was way back with discarded Senator Rick Santorum, who because of his famous anti-gay sentiments received the honor of a gross sex fluid named after him. Man, it was downright hilarious to see newspaper articles work hard to slip in double-entendre phrases like "frothy" and "worked into a froth." It was like the reporters were playing a game with each other: who could put in the most sex references to Santorum without actually getting caught.
The coverage of the statue, when it was unveiled, focused entirely on the immense penis. It was like the reporter was constantly having to hide a giggle.
The thing that makes this so beautiful is that the statue's prudish critics can be accused of penis envy. Count the number of times the word "inadequacy" is used.
For the most part, the controversy surrounding the statue at its opening has died down and it's a regular part of the city, on every tourist brochure. No one really cares anymore.
Despite the laid-back reputation of Jamaicans for sex, sun and pot-smoking, according to the Guinness Book of World's Records, Jamaica has more churches per mile than any other nation. It doesn't surprise me that the most sexy and interesting monument would come from a culture that at its heart is conservative. There is such a thing as being too casual about sex and bodies, so that all the fun is taken out of it. Ever seen Norway's Vigeland Sculpture Park? There's a nation that is comfortable about sex and nudity that its art is entirely boring, unidealized and straight-up square, with old women and fragile old men.

That's not enormous. Far black men that's normal!
Yeah, I'm exaggerating but it really isn't that big. People just get too worked up over nudity.
I think it's a decent sculpture. It evokes the right emotions.
Sadly, I can imagine the public nuisance were this statue located in the US, or somewhere more accessible to the fun in the sun seeking American tourist crowd, like in Puerto Rico, Europe or the Bahamas. Facebook would be littered with photos of girls in daisy dukes and flip flops wrapping their legs around the guys thigh, or pretending to lick his penis.
Heck, I bet some poor girl on Spring Break HAS done that in her first day in Jamaica, and permissive as Jamaican society can be I've also heard the men there are aggressive even by Caribbean standards (when it comes to flirting), who knows what ideas people have gotten....

Wouldn't call that an enormous penis, more like "average". No-one freaked out over the females naked-niple-showing-mammary-glands? How very odd, unless all of the men in the region actually consider that to be a really big penis!
not enormous at all.. i think that its perfectly proportional to the bodies being displayed as good
lmao@ white people thinking that is enormous, it's not enormous, the statue is enormous, it's very porportionate, cant be anymore than 7 - 9 inches and thats not enormous

Ridiculous, that penis has a good size. If you look at some of these black Jamaican men, they are even bigger then what the statue has, in the limp position. So, I don't know why they exxaggerated so much about the size penis on that statue. How come they didn't mentioned about the breast of the female statue? They don't look small either, but for a black woman they are a good size, and pretty firm too!
Don't see what the fuss is about. It's not all that big.
Far as the comments talking about black vs white penis size go, that's often overblown.
I was on my high school basketball team, and looking around in the showers, the black dudes were all smaller than me. And I'm no John Holmes.
1st off your faggot ass shouldnt have been looking at your team mates dicks, 2nd, u're a damn lie, it is a proven fact that black men have the biggest dicks on earch, they have done study after study, the average black man's dick is 7.5 at the small end, and for a white man it's 5, lmao, get over it white boys, us white women know that black men have bigger dicks, thats just a fact
The statue is 11 ft. tall and the figure of the man is cut off at mid-thigh. How big should the penis of a approximately 15 Ft. tall figure of a man be?
