Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
An event in Liverpool to mark the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic included a 30ft. puppet
known as the “Little Girl Giant”. The puppet was telling the story of an 11 year-old girl who wrote to her father
aboard the Titanic 3 days before it hit an iceberg.

On the first leg of her journey, thousands of spectators gasped as she squatted down and a geyser of water
sprung from beneath her green skirt


Amid much criticism, the creators of the Sea Odyssey giants said the reason their giant urinated on the street is
"because that is what little girls do"




Liverpool's Sea Odyssey branded 'disgusting' after Little Girl Giant urinates in street > Local News > News | Click Liverpool

This would really **** me off!

I hereby rename the puppet Tinkle Bell.

Apparently she made quite a splash.

Anyone get stung by a jellyfish nearby?

And finally, where on earth did they get/collect all that urine?

BTW, there are a lot of videos on youtube

I guess we should be glad she had not eaten earlier.

I didn't know about the peeing bit but the event has been on the BBC (or should that now be the BB Pee? ).

It's been staged by a French theatrical group. Seems they're more 'earthy' in their portrayal of these matters.

Doesn't mean squat! I'm sure it was covered by the "anything goes" rule of art.

I really didn't know about this unfortunate part of the event.

It's a shame because it seems to have made people overlook the rest of the display where this girl and her dog wandered around the city.

Sounds like a cool display & all, but really could have left out the little giant girl's public urination!
