Little Mermaid's unexpected swim

[demdave]

One of Denmark's most famous landmarks - the bronze sculpture of Hans Christian Anderson's Little Mermaid - has been knocked off her perch by vandals.
Police say the vandals used explosives to loosen her from the rock and officers are now trying to track down the culprits.

The 90-year-old statue has been subjected to repeated vandalism - she has been beheaded twice, lost an arm and had paint poured over her six times.

A statue of Ann Frank in Amsterdam on which somebody spray-painted a swastika.

Fargin' iceholes.
