Heh. They're called mascheroni. Not very original. Check the ones on the Cantacuzino Palace, in Bucharest.

Or the Pont Neuf. Yeah, there.

Because angels and other mask-like faces used by Italians on their buildings, fountains, and general garden ornaments are more original in Bucharest and Paris than they are in London?

Just because they happen not to look cheesy and pompous, but alive and unique?

De gustibus, madame. Original is a knife that cuts both ways: the first (in Italy) or the unique (where gustibus step in). Also, original isn't the antonym of cheezy and pompous. Your argument, however flawed, is quite amusing on a blog of cheezy—it seems to me you like singing to the deaf.
