AT LEAST THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR BAILING OUT WALL STREET

Civic leaders in Ukraine have baffled taxpayers by unveiling a quarter tonne statue of a frog to mark their town's 299th anniversary.

They're gonna need a bigger lilypad.

Wasn't this an episode of Family Guy?

Maybe we could trade them for THIS?

Hands off our bull, Meanie!

I go along with the woman who said "God knows what they will unveil next year for the 300th anniversary - a one-tonne statue of a lizard or something. Someone at the city council must have been drunk or mad when they dreamt up this idea."

Hard to believe she doesn't live in New York or Miami!

everyone knows the 299th anniversary is 'salamander'!

Listen, we're a small business but we've expanded. Expanded! Just like you frogs expand. Don't you frogs expand?

Jeff - was there ever a more appropriate symbol for an enterprise?

Long-time-no-SNORK@insom!!

I'm sure all the Ukrainian orphans rotting in cribs enjoy the frog very much.

Course, here in Myjammie, we have crossgirl's favorite - the giant chickens.

That's about 39 or 40 stone for those of you keeping score at home.

The key line is the last line:

Someone at the city council must have been drunk or mad when they dreamt up this idea.

Speak for yourself, Moon, I love froggies! What a great idea that was!
*has her morning gin*

Well I'll be blogsmacked and froggergasted.

btw - the Wall Street bull was not a city expense. Although somebody needs to knit that thing a jockstrap before the PC police whine.

Shoddy reporting: No photos!

Or maybe they'll be building this next?

Our neighbors have built a flashy elitist capitalist-influenced irrelevant frog. Therefore, the only reasonable response is to build a LARGER workmanlike proletarian irrelevant frog, using the People's medium -- concrete.

Yep...works for me.
