Holy Shit.

HETALIA.

I mean, even the freakin' caption:

David Cerny's artwork "Entropa" is a symbolic map of Europe depicting stereotypes attributed to the individual member countries.

And then there's this:

But wait. Here is Bulgaria, represented as a series of crude, hole-in-the-floor toilets. Here is the Netherlands, subsumed by floods, with only a few minarets peeping out from the water. Luxembourg is depicted as a tiny lump of gold marked by a “for sale” sign, while five Lithuanian soldiers are apparently urinating on Russia.

France? On strike.

It all makes so much sense now. Clearly, Hetalia is also part of Mr. Cerny's nefarious plot to rile not just the EU, but F!S as well.

PS: I highly recommend reading the article. For SRS.

ISN'T IT? It's like the planets aligned and now I have to explain to the other 20 grad students in the research lounge why I'm laughing so hard at the NYT my eyes are tearing up.

I liked that Great Britain is "missing" from the piece. :)
