Serbian Town To Erect Life-Size Statue of... Samantha Fox

She defended Chistendom against the Huns or something, right?

A LIFE-SIZE marble statue of the former glamour model Samantha Fox is to be erected in Serbia after she agreed to sing at a pop festival.

Locals in the southern Serb town of Cacak raised the money to show the 1980s model turned pop star how delighted they are about her visit. Obrad Banovic, a fan, said: "We love her. She is an authentic sex symbol of the 1980s, so why shouldn't we have a monument to her. Other towns have their heroes in parks, so why can't we?

"We are also aware that her most famous attributes may require special treatment, so we are planning on using the best quality marble only."

I guess we'll finally be able to take Samantha Fox up on her offer:

She won't be the first celebrity so honored:

t won't be the only celebrity statue in the area. The northern Serbian village of Zitiste is putting up a statue of the Hollywood film character Rocky, as played by Sylvester Stallone.

The Bosnian town of Mostar, which is divided along ethnic lines, erected a statue of the late martial arts film star Bruce Lee in 2005 as a symbol of unity between Muslims and Croats.

Truly there's not a more powerful symbol of ethnic reconcilliation than Bruce Lee. He stands as a shining tribute to the equality of blacks and whites in terms of succeptibility to kung-fu kicks.

Thanks to dri.
