Loveland NC's Art Critics

In her North Carolina the giant-brained citizens of Loveland, NC are angered by idealistic statuary possessing something common to millenia of art: nudity.
The 7-foot-tall piece, which shows a nude man and a nude woman holding a nude woman aloft, is a creation of sculptor Kirsten Kokkin, who has been a Loveland resident for the past six years. She said it represents humanity helping and supporting one another.
“I wanted the image to be eternally linked together,” said Kokkin, 54. “I think it’s part of the truth about humanity - we cannot survive without each other.”
However the Loveland locals call it immoral and lacking in taste. And fear it will destroy the morals of their children. Good thing they don’t live in Europe. But these master-thinkers probably know that Europe is godless compared to this Baptist paradise.
