Bhutan not so happy about phallic art!

A week or so ago, I noticed that the AFP had released this piece about modern Bhutan's embarrassment about "phallus art."
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of looking at male genitalia, but I do think that such (amusingly) graphic depictions, do go along very well with Bhutan's quirky image as the world's "Happiest Country."
Measuring social progression in terms of Gross National Happiness seems an excellent way of doing things, and judging by Bhutan's vast array of phallus art, lots of people seem to be enjoying themselves.
As the AFP piece says, the art reminds "people of ... the commonplace existence of sexual activity."

Apart from cartoon-like depictions of genitalia, what else does Bhutan have to offer?
Try these views on for size... I'm saving up already!
