So much for art, then. It appears that while the doughty Danes had such a good record of resistance against the real Nazis, they’re going to submit to the Feminazis:
A revealing mermaid statue in Denmark is set to be removed after it was deemed ‘a mans hot dream of what a woman should look like’ due to its large breasts.
The Danish Agency for Palaces and Culture is reportedly taking down the massive 14-tonne Den Store Havfrue (the Big Mermaid) from Dragor Fort after criticism from locals.
Politiken’s art critic, Mathias Kryger, branded the statue ‘ugly and pornographic’, while Sorine Gotfredsen, a priest and journalist, wrote in the newspaper Berlingske: ‘Erecting a statue of a man’s hot dream of what a woman should look like is unlikely to promote many women’s acceptance of their own bodies.’
She said it was encouraging to know that many people find the statue ‘vulgar, unpoetic, and undesirable, because we’re suffocating in overbearing bodies in public space’.
So because “many people” find the thing (things?) objectionable, it’s “Bye bye statue”, then?
For those Readers who couldn’t be bothered to follow the link, here are pics of the offending artwork:
And in profile:
Wasn’t sculptured boobage the very origin of the term “statuesque”, anyway?
Stupid Danes.
Oh, and speaking of stupid Danes, here’s what the above-mentioned “art critic” looks like:
…and the priestly journalist:
Go figure, huh?
And to help you banish that foulness from your mind, here’s our own favorite statuesque lovely, Kelly Brook:
…who makes Den Store Havfrue look positively anemic by comparison.
