Berlusconi Springs for 70,000 Euro Penis Job

A marble statue of Mars which once stood castrated in the prime minister's office has had an extreme makeover (genital edition), thanks to premier Silvio Berlusconi (and of course the Italian taxpayers - and we wonder why people evade paying?).

According to a story in the Telegraph today, while the Italian government continues to cut funding for schools, arts, research, etc, apparently the cutting of a penis is where it draws the line. After all, what fun would the Bunga Bunga parties at the premier's office be without these integral parts!
