Congratulations on headline of the week. Take it easy the next few days.
The good burghers of the French town Neuville-en-Ferrain will no longer be able to enjoy the ample charms of a "patriotic female statue" after the mayor ordered its removal from the town hall on the grounds of excessive chesticles. Gerard Cordon took exception to the bust of Marianne, the "traditional female embodiment of the …
there's a church in east herts with an old carved white marble wall plaque of a couple facing each other and the wife is holding the man's round headed staff or walking stick and I've been to weddings and funerals there where people (including a best man) have been reduced to hysterics at the most inappropriate moments on spotting the rude interpretation of the carving.
...I did try to find a picture of said statue for other readers. The only one seems to be the same one that can be seen here:

The interesting thing is that the story appears to have broken on 1st April. ??
A totally non-scientific survey amongst staff here seems to come to the view that they appear to be perfectly normal and of a decent shape, size and pertness. However, a comment was made that if she doesn't start wearing a bra, by the time she is 50, she will be sagging down to her navel!
Found the Town Hall but can't find her jubbliness on street view.

Near me there is a statue of a lady that has a proper title - not sure if anyone knows what it's really called -- but for as long as I remember it's been known as 'the naked lady'. The bus drivers all seem to know it as that, the locals call it that and no-one gets upset.
Anyway - I reckon a statue of a well-developed lady is far, far better than one of some bloody army bloke that sent tens of thousands of soldier to a pointless death.
Excessive jubliness is surely a matter of conjecture. One man's meat errr... is another man's.. oh errr... Well you see where I'm going with this.
Difficult to judge the size, given the orientation of the picture and the relative lack of comparative objects. Although the craftsmen's hands are nearby... They look fulsome but hardly excessive like, say, Kate 'Jordan' Price's.
Maybe they could rename the town 'Norksville-en-Ferrain', a place of jubtastic importance?
I think I'll have a lie down...
it's another case of jealous female employees at the Hotel de Ville. Laetitia Casta is certainly not undersized in that department, but who wants to look at something very ordinary? Surely the attraction was in the divergence of the original statute from the norm as far as breast size was concerned? And surely that's also the attraction of Keira Knightley -- no-one imagines most women are breastless, but in looking at her there's always a comparison being made with other, more normal, women; her chest is very attractive, but not typical. The mayor's crazy.
Paris -- because she knows that those who are different from the norm attract attention.
