The state of Kansas has ruled that a statue depicting a partially clothed woman engaged in self photography is not obscene, which has irked an estimated 8,000 petitioners, who wants the statue tossed out of a park.

The statue is erected at Overland Park Arboretum, where it resides along a wooded walking trail. The American Family Association says that statute is not only “explicit”, but also encourages Sexting.
The Johnson County officials say “it was only a piece of art work”.
The AFA says, the statue suggests sexting-the practice of sending sexually suggestive self-images via mobile device to a limited audience, such as when young lovers exchange candid photos shot with their Smartphones, according Xbiz Newswire.
The law-makers of Kansas State poured over the photographs and ruled that the statute does not fall into the category of “obscenity” under the state law.
The American Family Association has vowed to fight the case.
