I’ve pretty much spent a whole 5 minutes wondering what to write, so I look back at the past 7 days of news and the normal trash flashes up. Allied Carpets hits administration. Boring. Facebook breaches Canadian law. Boring. Christina Aguilera is to help world hunger. No one cares. There has simply been no news and the world is fine. A part from Swine Flu, thats very much alive and kicking. You can actually now track it from country to country on the BBC News website by clicking here which is pretty cool if you want an alternative to watching paint dry.
The Nazi gnome
But what I have found funny is there is a German artist who understands British human. He’s created a garden gnome giving the Nazi salute, perfect for any British Garden in Yorkshire. But in all seriousness this is a big thing for the Germans. There is an investigation going on about the 40cm figure which ended up in Germany, as its illegal to make any Nazi remarks, gestures or even glorifying the swastika whilst in the country. I hope the gnome doesn’t go to prison.
But it’s not just the German’s looking for something to fill their time, we’re doing a good job of that in England! Now, your having a barbecue with some family and friends and before you’ve even turned the burgers over the police arrive, in a riot van, helicopter over head surrounding you before you can even reach for the folk. Well that is what happened to an organised birthday party in that crime hot spot, Devon. I mean come on, putting a few burgers on and having a laugh is hardly a crime? Andrew Poole, who was celebrating his 30th birthday at the time, summed things up pretty well, “What effectively the police did was come in and stop 15 people eating burgers”. Clearly the police are trying very hard to tackle obesity, it’s a shame they didn’t start with the Chav’s outside a McDonald’s in Essex.
