City Wants Bigger Bust For Mermaid

<snip>

WARSAW (Reuters) - The mermaid patron of a Polish coastal town faces plastic surgery after councilors decided her breasts were too small and hips too wide, a city official said Monday.

The mermaid's looks became a hot topic during talks in the city hall on a promotion campaign for Ustka, a small port on the Baltic coast, in which the town's mermaid shield was supposed to play a key role.

"There was a discussion about the coat of arms and one female councilor said jokingly that the mermaid's breasts were too small and that she was a bit fat," city hall spokesman told Reuters.

The joke became a serious idea when local and national media got wind of the debate, giving sleepy Ustka plenty of coverage.

I like rubenesque mermaids! They better not change a thing!

What's wrong with it?

I'd kind of like it if my country's major issues were of a statue's breasts rather than lying, war-mongering politicians that are totally out of control.

Blue boobies. There is nothing better.
