A 13–foot mermaid statue with pronounced breasts in Denmark is slated to be removed after it was deemed to be a misrepresentation of the female form and obscenely adult in nature.
The towering effigy was first erected in 2006 in the country’s capital, Copenhagen, just yards from the century-old Little Mermaid, which venerates the author of the titular tale, Hans Christian Anderson.
The creator of the recent addition, which has already been moved once because of earlier controversy, has since surfaced to slam his critics and claim that the figurine’s upper torso is proportionate to her size.
