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

I went to look at it just before lunch (it's two blocks from my office). Quite hilarious!

Lucky you. It must look way better with all those special effects and whatnot. :)

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

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.

I think the one with the hammer and the sickle is Russia, meaning :they might be a modern nation, but they still apply the same ways, if only with a "modern touch" (whatever that is) which means: NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! XD god, this artist kills me.

And yes, the one with the meat is Portugal.

Ireland is apparently sheep-texture bagpipes, which makes no sense, because bagpipes are Scottish. I mean, okay, we do blather a bit, and we have a fair few sheep, but not as many as Wales or New Zealand or Australia. Try, oh, a country made of Guinness. Whiskey. Cabbage and brown bread. Harps.
