What would you do if you walked into a hospital and saw the painting above on the wall?

Well a graphic superhero orgy mural on the wall of a French hospital is causing a ton of controversy and debate over freedom of speech.

Surprisingly this picture has been on that wall for over a decade. The painting depicts Batman, Superman, the Flash and Supergirl having group sex with Wonder Woman.

The painting caused a ruckus not for its risqué nature but because someone recently took a photo of the painting and photoshopped in speech bubbles criticizing the country’s health minister, Marisol Touraine.

Touraine pushed for controversial health reforms that would affect doctors, and since this mural is inside student accommodations at the hospital, it’s likely the critic was one of the students. The speech bubbles, which include, “Take that health reform!” and, “Take it deep!” push the mural over from a raunchy orgy to a disturbing group rape scene.

This incident pushed the hospital to paint over the mural, after 14 years of it somehow not being a problem. “Young students, medical interns are being exposed to a humongous painting that is disrespectful to women,” spokeswoman for a French feminist organization Claire Serre Combe told VICE. “This painting is completely inappropriate.”
