1,000 Nicki Minaj images on Helsinki Cathedral steps not an anarchist prank

If the single art for Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" bothered you when it dropped last summer, you might want to steer clear of Helsinki for the time being.

This morning, residents of Finland's capital city awoke to find 1,000 life-size cutout versions of the cover -- which features Minaj crouching in a sports bra, basketball sneakers and a G-string and sent pearl-clutchers into a frenzy when it hit the Internet last August -- displayed across the steps of the Helsinki Cathedral. The 163-year-old evangelical Lutheran church is a major tourist attraction in Helsinki.

Alas, the sea of butts wasn't a gleefully anarchist prank: It was a promotional stunt from the organizers of "Summer Up," Finland's annual urban music festival, whose 13th annual installation will feature Minaj in her first-ever appearance in the country where I want to be. Rae Sremmurd is also slated to appear, along with a smattering of Finnish artists and DJs.
