I have read the news item on the Mannekin Pis and confess that I have found the whole matter in very bad taste.

While the Order of the Knights of Malta, with its 12,500 members, 80,000 trained volunteers and 20,000 employees are very busy operating in more than 120 countries, offering medical and social assistance, disaster relief in armed conflicts and natural catastrophes, emergency services and first aid corps, help for the elderly, the handicapped and children in need, first aid training, and support for refugees and internally displaced people regardless of race, origin or religion, the Maltese Embassy in Brussels thought it fit to make the peeing boy fountain in Brussels wear Knight of Malta attire.

What bad taste! Bad taste indeed!
