Thanks so much, Shah! Glad you enjoyed the article and the pictures!

Dear Johnny, thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the picture we published.
We understand that the image you mentioned was highly controversial and offensive to many individuals.
It first appeared on Facebook, and was then republished on many news sites, where anyone can find it even today.
We would like to clarify that our intention was not to endorse such behavior, but rather to report on a newsworthy incident that had legal consequences.
The duty of all responsible media outlets is to inform readers about significant events happening in society, even if they may be uncomfortable or controversial.
Rubbing some other statues mentioned in this article could be equally distressing for some other readers. But that doesn’t mean that certain topics should be avoided altogether.
Also, not less important, in any public discussion, points we make can go further when we carefully choose words. That’s something everyone could advance in. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback.

Hehe, indeed. I went to google it, and the only info I could find about it was – on your website!
Who knows, maybe you have started a new statue rubbing tradition! 😉

Oh, I haven’t heard of any statue’s butt being rubbed besides those Crazy Girls in Las Vegas.
Who was the statue representing?
As for the lottery, don’t take it to your heart.
Chances for winning it are only slightly higher than gaining luck from the statue’s butt 😉
