Why does she get special treatment? Waxworks museums are notorious for their awful wax likenesses - you might think they do it on purpose, if they really wanted to do it properly I imagine most amateur plastic print people could do a decent enough job of it.

You cannot even begin to comprehend the crushing disappointment I suffered as a child, having finally been taken to The London Dungeons.

If you have to ask why a traffic cone on the head of a serious statue is funny, you're wasting your time: you'll never get it....
