Smiling Satan Statue Sparks Protests in Spain

A strange controversy has erupted in a Spanish city over a proposed  statue of Satan that residents have deemed to be too jovial. The nearly  six-foot-tall bronze sculpture is reportedly meant to portray a local legend which claims that the iconic aqueduct  in the city of Segovia had been built by a demon tricked into performing  the task in one day. However, upon being revealed to the public, the  odd piece quickly became the target of considerable criticism from  Christians in the community who were dismayed by the demon's  friendly-looking demeanor.

To date, nearly 5,500 residents of Segovia have signed a petition  demanding that the statue not be displayed because it "exalts evil" by  portraying Satan in a good-natured fashion rather than showing the  Prince of Darkness as "repulsive and despicable." Beyond merely the  cheerful grin on the demon's face, another aspect of the sculpture which  seems to have drawn people's ire is that the fallen angel is also  depicted taking a selfie, which casts the entire piece in a comical  light.
