They told me if I voted Republican ...

... bluenoses would be taking art down from the public square because it was "indecent".  They never told me that it would even be in France:
The mayor of a town in France has thrown a patriotic female statue out of his town hall because its breasts were too big.

The terracotta bust of Marianne - the traditional female embodiment of the French Republic in a Phrygian cap - was an original work by a local artist, installed in 2007 at the town hall in Neuville-en-Ferrain, population 10,000.

"It was making people gossip," said one town hall employee. "Remarks were made, during weddings for example."
Man, those Republicans sure are cunning, to get the French to toe the line ...

Breasts. Too. Large. Are keywords that demand that you post a picture.

Or a Google image search.

North beat me to it!

Marianne? Is there a corresponding Ginger statue?

I'm not surprised. The French are the ones who claim the perfect breast fits in a champagne glass.
