We couldn't think of a more fitting way to mark National Masturbation Month than to have this Takashi Murakami sculpture of a naked anime dude ejaculating sell for $15 million at Sotheby's last night. Anonymous Telephone Bidder, we salute you ... whoever you are. (Gawker)

This would look fantastic in my gracious drawing room.
Poor readers of the NY Times, in the article linked by Gawker, only know that an "outrageous" sculpture by the artist called "Mr. Lonesome Cowboy" was sold. No other description is given as it is for the other works auctioned that evening. . .
And NOW I see from Gawker's comment thread that this was displayed at the Brooklyn Museum where it could be viewed by CHILDREN, with none of the usual outcry? Where's Giuliani when you need him?
i saw this exhibit in LA last fall and i won't forget the look on this kid's face looking at the statue. he had this look of total awe and curiousity.
that soon ended when his father told him to stop looking at it and dragged him towards the companion piece, the one with the big boobies. no sooner than dad's eyes looked away, that the kid slowly turned and began to stare at the cowboy again.
@el smrtmnky: That is at once one of the cutest and most disturbing stories I've ever heard.
Wow, that is some magic semen.
@Tribeca_Hilton: HOLLAND PARK! And not just the outskirts of Holland Park - the rich, heartland of Holland Park!
Take THAT Peter North!!!
Isn't that a finisher move in "Street Fighter II"?
