Poland city wants bigger bust for Mermaid
(Agencies)
Updated: 2004-03-31 13:27 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.
"We are now considering altering the mermaid slightly by making her breasts
bigger and making her leaner," the spokesman said. "She will become more
attractive and Ustka will gain publicity."
