Commemorative Prostitutes

For a much classier remembrance, I take you to Amsterdam, where they have put this statue of a hooker in the Red Light District to "show respect to the millions of people around the world who earn their money in prostitution" (according to the sculptor, Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute):

Hilariously (for me, anyway), Ms. Majoor was "physically assaulted by an elderly lady who apparently was not happy to have the statue close to her home. The woman was taken into police custody, and released after the unveiling had taken place."

This violent elderly lady apparently has no problem with the actual prostitutes working near her home, just the statue of one. Here's a shot of the square the statue is going in:

See all them red lights? THERE BE HOOKERS. Chill out, feisty old lady.
