Do you think this statue in Florida is obscene?

She's a striking figure called The Siren, these days spending borrowed time in the flower bed fronting Wellington's Community Center. Her arms are raised above her head like a ballerina's, and her frame — as slender as a whip —- is curved back and up in the shape of a teardrop. But it's the part of her anatomy swelling — bounteously, unsparingly, abundantly — between slender neck and shimmery tail that has this village talking. Notes circulating at village hall this week suggested there have been a few irate phone calls about The Siren — devotedly sculpted from bronze and steel outside the home of Palm Beach County artist Norman J. Gitzen. Gitzen said he was shocked and sad to hear that some might think The Siren is obscene. 'I didn't mean for her to be vulgar in any way,' Gitzen said. 'I purposely didn't put nipples on her because of the decency clause.'
