one man's phallus is another man's...
the picture of the person is not really related to the critter and in fact is a phalic symbol which Wyatts's folk touched up to change the context.
This immediately reminded me of a heated argument I heard once on public radio - a professor of ancient cultures was trying to explain to a fundamentalist "scholar" that the earliest known use of the "Jesus fish" symbol was within pre-Christian culture as a symbol of female fertility. The "Jesus fish" is actually a turned-on-its-side pictographical representation of female genitals (according to the professor). The fundamentalist scholar of course denounced the heresy, claiming that the symbol obviously originated with Jesus himself.
I wondered to myself if this co-opting was another example of organized Christianity trying to cover-up/assimilate what might be viewed as anti-Christian (as in the supposed scheduling of Christmas to replace pagan holidays).
In any case, it is nice that so many perverts are willing to label themselves as such by affixing images of female genitals to the back of their cars for all to see...
It seems Wyatt may continue this trend with his apparent interpretation of "penis" as "worshipper".
