Czech art

"A new art installation going on display at the European Council building in Brussels has angered EU members with its lampoons of national stereotypes.

Entropa portrays Bulgaria as a toilet, Romania as a Dracula theme-park and France as a country on strike.

A couple of personal remarks :

- the totally tasteless construction is a perfect gift for the wasteful European waterhead, a direct descendant of Big Brother.

- Is the Czech government really dumb enough to have been surprised by the artist, or is Vaclav Klaus, the Czech president, having a bit of fun at the expense of the EU ? Everyone knows the deep love and the esteem he holds for that meddling institution.

Well done, mister Klaus ?
