They Are Trying To Get Tourists To Stop Touching This Statue's Breasts

If you've ever traveled to Dublin, Ireland, chances are that you've seen the statue of Molly Malone. Molly is a part of a song that tells the fictional tale of a young woman who sells her wares from a wheelbarrow in Dublin, eventually dying of a fever. She has become a beloved symbol of Dublin and its musical heritage. That's why there's a statue of her. Just a few years ago, it was thought that you'd have good luck if you touched the breasts of the statue. Well the locals want that to stop. They thought about raising the statue, but that would cost too much. So they have come up with an alternative to that. Fun fact: the locals in Dublin refer to this statue as The Tart with the Cart.
