Tallinn 2011 Reduced to Facebook Page

Eesti Päevaleht has reported that Tallinn Culture Capital 2011's one-time 100-million-kroon budget has been reduced by the city and state to 30 million kroons (approximately 27 USD). "But we can start a Facebook group for that much," said Mayor Edgar Savisaar as he announced the cuts.
2011 officials have been scrambling to obtain financing from other sources, including between the sofa cushions in their Pärnu mnt office. Other possible sources include shaking down the 80-year-old beggar in the nearby McDonald's, as well as possible one-time gifts from strippers and prostitutes who better understand the need to take advantage of Tallinn's European Cultural Capital designation in 2011.
