Russians unveil monument to - the enema

Posted in Culture, Earth, Health by eideard on June 21st, 2008

In Russia, they just unveiled a bronze monument to, uh, the enema. I am not making this up. A health spa specializing in illnesses of the digestive tract commissioned a $42,000 statue of cherubs carrying an enema syringe. When balloons lifted a red drape into the sky this week, there it was…

The artist was inspired by a classic Botticelli painting, and she says she sees irony in the work. I guess maybe she should call the thing ”The Ironic Colonic.”

The monument to the medical instrument used to introduce liquids into the body via the anus is the only one of its kind in Russia, the hospital said.


Truly breathtaking.
