The car burning rampages going on in France, makes me wonder if the car companies have a hand in this. I would not be surprised at all. This project seems to be more effective than the "cash for clunkers" that was Obama's brainchild and this one is a pretty successful one as it has no expiry date. Cars get burned and new cars get bought. Nice way to keep a segment of the economy going... going for the car companies.
In 2008 on New Year's eve, 1147 cars were burned and 2009 New Year's eve saw 1137 cars destroyed. Is it possible that the police authorities in France are not able to control these car destroyers or is there a more sinister involvement here of car manufacturers paying these hooligans to do the dirty?

When I first read this, I excitedly said "where is my zippo and gasoline" but then I realized that fire eats oxygen and releases carbon. Carbon murders polar bears. If each burned car murders one polar bear, then 1137 polar bears were murdered last night.
ReplyDeleteI am outraged. Fire should be illegal. Lighters should be illegal. What we need is a "Fire Starter Registry" where anyone who ever wants to create a fire has to register their zippo or matches with the government. This is brilliant. I am brilliant.
I haven't seen a fire like that since the last book burning at the Palin house!
ReplyDeleteSorry, bad joke. Burning books would imply that they read books, and if you don't read books, why would you own books?
Sorry, I should have thought that joke out in advance...
Iceman - oh ...was that a joke !! How come I am not laughing then. Henceforth, start off your paragrahs with: JOKE: (when we are supposed to laugh at your feeble attempts)
ReplyDeleteand SERIOUS: (when you are talking about things not funny)
And talking about books, the only books that might make any sense to someone like you with ice in your brains would be a talking book, a talking book to teach babies how to say "mama" "dada" "googooo".
