Copenhagen

Come on... What is this? Modern art? Why did they have to make a new statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen?
This one's placed just 200 metres from the old one. The Danes don't like it. Me neither.

I do not like the statue, but would love to come to Copenhagen!

ummmm...this is not anatomically correct?

Jag gillar det inte heller...

I don't think that there are many people who favor this one instead of the old, little mermaid.... If this is acceptable modern art, then I'm the Pope....

Maybe you're right, Maria. But they put this one on a small island, so I wouldn't be able to get there without getting wet. And I was there alone, so when I had set the timer I would have had to get out there in ten seconds. I might be fast after all these months of swimming, but not that fast...

The original one had her head cut down a couple of times. Maybe she will be left alone now and this... um... "thing" will be terrorized instead.
