There’s a 12 Foot Tall Statue of Colin Firth’s Wet Shirted Mr. Darcy Emerging From a Lake In Hyde Park. What A Time To Be Alive.

This statue of Pride and Prejudice‘s Mr. Darcy, Colin Firth lake scene version, was placed in London’s Serpentine Lake to promote Drama, a new TV channel devoted to British shows. Via The Huffington Post:

It is scheduled to go on display at several locations before being installed in a lake in Lyme Park, northwest England, where the scene was filmed. It will remain there until February.

I’d come up with something clever to say if I could stop laughing for long enough. I don’t mean in a mocking way, though. I am being completely sincere when I say this statue brings joy to my heart.
