Phallic-shaped 'big potato' statue vandalized in Cyprus


A potato statue erected in Cyprus has been criticized for looking like a giant penis.

“Other countries have instantly recognizable monuments, now we have ours,” former Cyprus ambassador to the UK Euripides Evriviades wrote on Twitter at the time with a collage of national monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Hong Kong’s Big Buddha and, theirs truly, “The Big Potato.”
