Tehee, the bureaucrats in Brussels must've choked on their coffee >:-D

I'm v. glad someone had the balls to showcase the good ol' art of stereotyping, because Europe's stereotypes, 1)won't go away if you just sweep them under faux-PC rug, 2)are hilarious.

I wonder where I can get images of all the countries? Anyone knows? cygny?

P.S.: Here's some

Hey, sorry to be a pain in the ass. I re read your mail (for the Post Mortem ilustration, see ? I'm drawing it today). and uhm, well... you wrote this:

I would love to see the pompous meeting scene, where Camus and Co accuse tired and bored Kanon of incompetence, bias on the case and general meanness.

And I can only assume by this you chose the first scene when Aphrodite, Kanon and DM return from the first errand.
I do hope is this one...gha.

Sorry about this.

About your post, I thought you were talking about Hetalia (I think that's the name, right? the story of the chibis representing countries and such), but I clicked on the link and it directed me to a FT. com. Something about Brussels art hoax or something like that :P

I mean, the link might not be missplaced and stuff, but you know, maybe it is.

ETA: oh no. I see te link was o.k.
And god I saw the art and was like "what?" Not because of its meaning but rather by the art itself. I don't like art like that. But on a closer look I have to admitt, the artist had some balls to deliver a comissioned artwork such as that one!

kudos.

I especially like Luxemburg... way to go!

Yep, I meant the first one. Sorry for making it unclear...I think I pointed to it in the second mail, but perhaps too vaguely. :)

That with hammer and sickle is Estonia, I found out - because they recently banned the Soviet symbols. >:-) It's just how Latvia, a really, really flat country got itself covered with mountains in that collage.
