At some point, everyone's been in a bar they thought should be called the backside of the world.

But modern artist Joep van Lieshout has gone one better to create the BarRectum at an exhibition in the Austrian capital Vienna.

The building - based on a huge human anus - is part of a series of shocking sculptures on show by the Dutch oddball.

Others include a tourist kiosk in the shape of a human sperm and a nightclub shaped like a decapitated female torso wearing a bikini.

"I'm not sure I'd be that keen on going up the rectum for a quick drink but it's an interesting idea," said one art lover.

I wish I could go back in time and fix 1529, 1683.

WTF is wrong with you people?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It says a lot about Hitler's artistic talent that he was rejected by the Viennese.

Personally, I find this hillarious. But that's probably just me.

In a way, like watching Timmay trying to spell his way out of a wet fetus bag.

The Museum für Moderne Kunst (MuMoK - Museum of Modern Art) has such external installations on occasion. My favorite was "House Attack".

Gotta love Germanic culture.

Suddenly I'm a little less embarrassed by the MegaJesus of I-75.
