    So basically this lady sculpted a "nude" form in the snow.
    Someone complained apparently and the cops cracked down.
    Eliza Gonzalez sculpted the snow-woman with her son and daughter on her front lawn in Rahway following a snowstorm.
    Many people praised their creation, but a police officer told them a neighbour had found it too risque, she said.
    When given the option of covering the sculpture up or knocking it down, she dressed it in a bikini top and sarong.
    "We didn't want to have any problem with the police so we covered it up," Ms Gonzalez told the AFP news agency.
    But she now thinks the snowy Venus looks "more objectified and sexualised" than it did before the authorities intervened.

    I agree with her on that.

    One would think such art would be protected under the 1st Amendment huh?
