Absurdist Protest Signs

Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest in front of Twitter’s San Francisco office on Thursday, but found themselves severely outnumbered by a crowd of absurdist pranksters. WBC’s hate-promoting signs were answered by multiple signs of randomness, nonsensical yelling, and even a unicorn. A portable stereo blared Lady GaGa, while press and people passing by ignored the WBC signs and took pictures and videos of the more entertaining signs. I was also there and turned on the video camera while holding my sign.

Oh, Charlie. ♥

The BBC coverage of the election is amazing; They start off saying lots of observant and intelligent things, until someone mentions the word "Palin" and the whole table dissolves into sniggering and guffaws. At one point I think McCain was labeled physically and mentally incapable of becoming President. David Dimbleby keeps slyly dissing America in as many subtle ways as he can get away with.

Who said it was the Americans who thought too highly of themselves?

RULE BRITANNIA.

In less "LOL, Hilarious Fail Britainz" type-news, GO-FUCKING-BAMA.

"No announcement yet on the Zimbabwe election. The opposition MDC are widely believed to have won outright. Our prime minister, Gordon Brown, has issued his strongest criticism yet: "I cannot understand why it has taking so long to announce the result of the presidential elections," he said in a statement last night. “I am appalled by the signs that the regime is once again resorting to intimidation and violence." He said "the international community's patience with the [Mugabe] regime is wearing thin". Mr Mugabe's response today? "I know Brown; he's a little tiny dot, eh, on this world.""


I do not advocate Robert Mugabe in any way shape or form.
But you have to admit, as political responses go... thats a fucking kicker.
