Hans Christian Andersen, Call Your Service


Copenhagen's The Little Mermaid statue was found Sunday sitting on her rock dressed in a Burqua.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised that the police had the nerve to remove the garb. Whether this was Sharia zeal or Nativist protest, it's an apt symbol of Europe in the 21st century.

Tip o' the hat to Eldias for the story and headline.

Wasn't that statues' head cut off several years ago?

Yes, a couple of times, actually.

I assume it was in homage to The Simpsons...

Heh, they should have kept it on. It looks like someone from the Mythic Dawn in summoned armour.
