The German author of a children’s book has pulled the plug on an American book deal because the publishers demanded that she censor images of nude art in the background of her story.
It wasn’t even the painted reclining nude woman that caused a problem. Nope. Instead, the publishers were up in arms over a nude male statue, complete with penis.

Now, the article about this describes said penis as “microscopic.” I beg to differ. Look at that photo… to scale, that guy has a monster between his legs.
On the page, the sculpture stands at a very unthreatening seven millimeters tall and the appendage could, at first glance, be dismissed as a wayward brushstroke. The “little willy” as Berner called it “was barely half a millimeter in length.” The sculpture is an aside in the overall museum scene and is in no way prominent to the storyline on that page, she added.
That’s a penis that’s one-fourteenth the size of his body. And they called it a “weenie.”
I should say, size of the penis doesn’t matter here, censorship like this is just silly.
