Graphic designer creates Putin-shaped butt plug
By Josh Haggis
An American graphic designer has immortalised Russian president Vladimir Putin in the form of a butt plug.
Florida-based designer Fernando Sosa says he made the piece in response to Russia’s anti-gay propaganda law, which was introduced last year, making it illegal to promote “non-traditional sexual relations” in the country.
The current model is made out of sandstone (ouch!) and is deemed unsafe for sexual use. However, Sosa is campaigning for funding in order to allow him to make future models suitable for their… intended use.
“As many of you guys know, Russia is bringing an all-out war against the civil rights of gay people in Russia. Leading the charge is Mr. Putin and his homophobic leadership,” Sosa explains on his Imgur page.
He continues: “I wanted to ridicule Mr. Putin so I wanted to make a voodo[o]-like doll of him so people could do whatever they wanted to Mr. Putin in the privacy of their own home. However, what a better way to attack Mr. Putin’s shirtless bear wrestling reputation? Make him into the shape of a butt plug.”
