Czechs Say No To Freudian Statue

Eastern Europeans are going a little crazy over statues recently. From plans for a Rocky Balboa statue in Serbia to a (now axed) proposal for a giant Sam Fox, the Czech proposal to build a statue of Sigmund Freud in Prague seems positively mundane.

And perhaps locals saw it the same way. Voters rejected the statue of Freud for Kozi Placek (Goat Square) in favor of--not Rocky or Samantha--a statue of goats instead. The reasoning? You can put a statue of Freud anywhere you want, but three goats really only belong on "Goat Square." Can't argue with that. But what Freud would say about the meaning of all this is something we'd rather not contemplate.
