Members of a Japanese town are asking for a 16ft replica statue of Michaelangelo's David to be given a pair of underwear to hide his shame as his nakedness was scaring children.
The statue was donated, along with a 16ft topless Venus de Milo by a local businessman and was erected (cough) near the childrens play equipment in a local park that also hosts a running track, a baseball stadium, tennis courts, a mountain bike course.
People have told town officials that "toddlers are afraid of the statues because they are so big (cough) and they appeared unexpectedly over the summer."
Japanese law reflects the conservative reaction from the town of Okuizumo - earlier this week, a Tokyo based photographer was arrested for selling books containing photos of male genitals.
The demands from the people of Okuizumo to have David cover up could be a chance for Bonds to get some free advertising.
