Song of the Day 3/24: Monty Python, “The Penis Song”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on March 24, 2023

Satire died a good while back, which is the only way you can tell this story is true: A principal in Florida got fired when a parent complained about an art teacher showing the class a photograph of Michelangelo’s David. The parent called it “pornographic.”

The part that makes it art, or at least performance art: The school is a “classical” charter school, one that supposedly educates the kids in the values of Greek and Roman antiquity. But not the Renaissance, apparently. Not even naming it after a Biblical hero kept the Xtians at bay.

Eric Idle warned about this back in 1983 in “The Meaning of Life,” but did they listen? Indeed they did not.

    In the future, all anatomy books in Florida will need excise photos, drawings and any discussion of the penis. Peyronies disease advertisements will need to be banned from the media. Crimes involving penis exposure will be required to be responded to by the death penalty. Husbands will be required to never uncover their penises, even in the marital bedroom. All because Florida residents now refuse to acknowledge the existence of penises. The only good news is that without any reproduction, Florida will eventually be devoid of all human life.
