Talk:Topiary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Is "sexy" topiary worth the space?

Moved this text here: "Topiary can also express sexual themes. Gillian Greensite, director of UC Santa Cruz's rape prevention and counseling program, has been trimming her 20 foot (6 m) tall hedges to resemble a phallus and testicles (or, depending on one's perspective, breasts) since the late 1980s. In 2002, an offended neighbor filed a complaint with the police. Upon investigation, the police declined to intervene due to Greensite's rights to free speech and artistic expression [1]" Is this local item informative? --Wetman 11:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

On reflection, I'd have to say that whether it's informative or not, it's certainly not all that relevant to an article on topiary. The medium of the expression isn't the important thing in this situation. If it's relevant anywhere, it would probably be in an article about artistic expression or some such. -- Zawersh 02:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
