Vancouver city officials have finally removed a mysterious 9ft naked devil statue with a giant erection that was placed in a park on Tuesday by an anonymous artist.

The naked statue proved to be too much for some residents and city officials, who quickly removed the horny red devil from Vancouver Park.

“The statue was not a piece of City commissioned artwork and consequently it has been removed,” said city spokeswoman Sara Couper.

Mike Granger has started a petition on Change.org asking officials to give him the statue so he can include it in his “Odditorium” collection, according to the Winnipeg Sun.

“By removing the statue of Penis Satan, you are taking from us our freedom of expression, restricting our sexuality and stigmatizing our religious beliefs. Please return him immediately,” said Granger.

This is not the first time we have heard the words “penis” and “Vancouver” used in the same sentence. Back in July, we showcased Vancouver performance artist Brent Ray Fraser who loves to paint portraits with his erect penis. [Click here to watch him in action: VERY NSFW] [H/T: Mirror]
