Speaker 1 (00:21):
An intriguing story in the Herald this morning about in
Copenhagen a statue of a mermaid. The little mermaid is
a very famous image in the myth the history of Copenhagen.
And there's a mermaid statue. You've probably seen pictures of it. Well,

(00:43):
there's another one now that has been there since two
thousand and six near the pier, that is about to
be removed. Wow, I'm going to show you a picture
of it. And it's because of people like you what
you would do to it as to why it has
to be removed. Are you talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Wow, that is a substantial mermaid.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
This is a substantial mermaid coming out of the water
with an enormous set of honkers. Well yeah, big pert
erec nipple honkers. She looks like a porn star. Ugly
and pornographic is what this statue has been labeled as.
I said, it's been there since two thousand and six,
and I think finally people are feeling brave enough to say,
you know what, that doesn't represent us anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
You know what, It's cold in the water. Firstly, hence
the erect nipples. Secondly, she's got both hands as she's
coming out on the plymth, so that's going to thrust.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Are you on the slyinth?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I went to art school, so when you do sculptures
and things like that, these are the things you take
into into account. You know, Michaelangelo's David. It's actually got
the one of the tendons in his arm. Michaelangelo managed
to capture the tendron in his arm because David is
moving his hand. That's what it's all about. This sculptor,

(02:00):
David had.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
The world's biggest schlong. Do you think there'd be some
sort of uncomfortable discussion around.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I think it was proportionately the right side.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's what say, because it makes them comfortable what they've said.
That's what they've said. Well, you couldn't get a fig
leave big enough to cover these honkers. And what I'm
just saying, what the problem is. I'm not saying I
have a problem with it. I'm saying this is why
it is being removed because people are saying it's just
two pornographic. We already have the little mermaid. We don't

(02:28):
need the big porno mermaid and the guy, the artist,
the sculptor has who the designer said, he can't understand
what the fuss is about. This is a quote. The
mermaid has completely normal proportions in relation to her size.
Of course, the breasts are big on a big woman,
he said. He said that it's pure nonsense that people

(02:50):
aren't happy with this, and it's also a journalist said,
on the other hand, she has got huge breasts and
that could be where the problem lies. Do you think
this also there's a similar problem in Italy. Two years ago,
a statue of a mermaid they're not even known. Italy
is not known for its mermaids with large breasts and
a generous bottom, was unveiled in Pulia. Critics said it's

(03:12):
large buttocks and soccer ball shaped breasts were vulgar and
overly sexual. Some local writer said the statue had two
silicon boobs that would make a plastic surgeon blush. It
has a huge ass that you'd never see on a
mermaidd's seen a mermaid well, even sailors who've been at
sea for manys they thought juwgongs were mermaids. That's how

(03:35):
desperate they are. Even they don't picture them with enormous bumps.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
They do.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
The Kardashian bumb does not exist in the merv in the.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
First world, that's what would serve them while they're at
to sea. Now you're taking that away from the pool sailors.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, this is being removed, this statue.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Where's it going into your

Speaker 1 (03:49):

on it on No need
