Boticelli-Inspired Enema Sculpture. Riiight.

A heath spa in Inozemtsevo, Russia recently unveiled a bronze monument of three cherubs carrying an enema. The sculpture, designed by local artist, Svetlana Avakova, was inspired by Sardo Boticelli's "Venus and Mars."

"We administer enemas nearly every day," said Alexander Kharchenko, the head of the sanatorium which specializes in treating illnesses of the digestion tract.

"So, I thought, why not use our sense of humor and give it a monument," he said of the bronze statue that stands about 1.5 meters high.

Avakova's comment about the sculpture made me laugh out loud:

"...an enema is an unpleasant procedure as many of us may know. But when cherubs do it, it's all right."

If you say so, Avakova.
