People walk past a mural of US presidential nominee Hillary Clinton clad in a swimsuit, created by street artist Lushsux, in West Footscray, Melbourne on July 30, 2016 (AFP Photo/Paul Crock) Melbourne (AFP) - An Australian mural of US presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a revealing, stars and stripes swimsuit may be taken down, after it has reportedly been deemed offensive. The creator of the painting, the street artist who goes by the name Lushsux and who has also painted murals of the likes of Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian, branded calls to remove it "pathetic". The provocative mural is on the wall of a small business in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray, and reports say the business has been asked by the local Maribyrnong Council to remove it. "We believe it is offensive because of the depiction of a near-naked woman, not on the basis of disrespect to Hillary Clinton, in accordance with the Graffiti Prevention Act 2007," the council's chief executive Stephen Wall told Fairfax Media on Friday. Wall said local police had been asked to urgently provide their opinion on the mural, adding that the council intended to issue a notice to the building's owner to remove it within 10 days. Lushsux accused the council of being out of control, telling Fairfax the mural was "on par offence-wise" with a deodorant ad. Speaking on Melbourne radio, Lushsux said he suspected that his Instagram account, which he said had some 110,000 followers, was deleted due to him posting a photo of the raunchy Hillary image. "It's hard enough to be an artist... to lose your social media following in this day and age is a big loss," he told 3AW on Friday. But the artist shows no sign of changing his style. Asked what he planned next, Lushsux told listeners: "I might paint a big mural of Trump in similar style."

What's so offensive? She claims to be the all-american goddess and everybody knows she loooooooves loot. This whining speaks volumes about the decay of white people's minds across the globe. It, not the mural, is sickening and nauseating. _____________________________________________________________ “We build but to tear down. Most of our work and resource is squandered.

Shit, in her dreams. What's offensive is that it's too flattering. It's as big a lie as any she's ever spoken.
Ha! Perfect! The mural painter is not a HildaBeast "true believer." An idealized painting of The Beast with reality peeking out.
Hahaha ! The Great White American Ho ! LOL "We believe it is offensive because of the depiction of a near-naked woman, not on the basis of disrespect to Hillary Clinton, in accordance with the Graffiti Prevention Act 2007, Offensive to whom? I think it's a hoot. Near naked woman? How do people usually dress in Australia? Maybe they are a bunch of prudes over there. And what does graffiti have to do with art? Pure nonsense is what I say. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Good G-D she is hot I want her, well maybe she wants my girl friend.
