When I die I want my body to be encased in copper and this same rumor be spread about me and place my statue next to his.

Of course. The French.

I saw that statue irl on a tour I think. I can't really get the story together, wasn't she some kind of local celebrity and touching the chest of the statue is supposed to give you luck in love or something?

It's Molly Malone and her statue is in Dublin. Rubbing her boobs supposedly brings good luck.

I'm not sure where the good luck part came from... But leave it to men to classify copping a feel as a sign of good luck.

Oh. It's tourists. The debates about it aren't new, either. :/

Although based on this thread I think Wikipedia needs a list of statues routinely groped by people.

Lmao - guess my joke about the copping a feel didn't land. Guess I should've added in a /joke there.

Of all the things to whine about...

Sounds like Charlotte just needs to get dicked down good.

Feminists always think women are better then men, until they are provided with proof that they are just as shitty because (surprise surprise) women are just humans too.
