A Stupid Drunken Irishman ...

[dogtag]

joins the list of irresponsible tourists doing damage to
Europe's historic statuary. They need to serve jail time,
in addition to a fine and made to pay cost to repair damage.
The media catching them in the act plus a resultant slap
on the wrist is not enough to deter other ignorant tourists
from doing similar dumb acts.

The answer to all the world's problems is to vandalize art work.

I contacted a friend to make sure they didn't destroy the little pissing kid - cherub - whatever. Quite a tourist attraction in the Brussels shopping district. Every year, Japanese tourists line up to make a selfie with it. SW

The Japanese love selfies. They can't help it.

Manneken piss.
At age twelve our class went to Belgium on a school holiday.
Bought each of my two sisters a Manneken Piss scent spray.

true,

back in the 80's, my mother and grandmother went to Hawaii,

they were on a tour bus and out in the middle of nowhere on one island, at and intersection with a stop sign
the bus stopped, and all the Japanese tourist got out and had someone take pictures of them with the stop sign (this was before selfy sticks etc, )

then they all got back on the bus and it left

Now they would have made great "Selfies"
