Busted! Chesty mermaid splashes debate...
Sorry if this is a dupe, but who can resist this story?



Talk about a bust.

A sculpture of a mermaid in South Florida is causing debate among the public, as the cups runneth over on the artwork.

At issue is "The Siren," a piece created by artist Norman Gitzen, now on display at the Wellington Community Center.

The mermaid will surface at next Tuesday's village council meeting, after a single phone call by an anonymous woman was received at the town's switchboard.


"If they find her obscene, are they saying all large-breasted women are obscene?" Gitzen asked the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "The world is full of large-breasted women."

3. One call is all it takes?
Fundies and pubbies always complain when a small minority can persuade a government to change something for them. Hypocrites.

4. Apparently mermaids
Control what depth they're at by taking in or releasing air from their breasts.

5. Get over it!
It's just a sculpture!

Geeze.

And what is a mermaid SUPPOSED to look like?

Until you can answer that, you have no basis for objection that this one is disproportionate.

What next? Little pasties were the nipples should have been?
