Welcome to silly season. This stupid story is even making Reuters lose the run of themselves:
Man toupee for revealing bald truth
I had to reproduce that wonderful pun again. It deserves the exposure.
TAIPEI (Reuters) – A man who tore the wig off a telegenic Taiwan legislator last year was sentenced to five months in jail for depriving the MP of his freedom to look good, a court spokesman said Tuesday.
“The judge thought Chiu Yi had the freedom to wear what he wanted, and Chiu felt the wig made him look prettier,” court spokesman Huang Chin-ming said. “The judge thinks that to remove it intentionally was to take away that right.”
As you can see from the picture, it’s pretty obvious that Chiu Li is hiding a skirted egg underneath that wig.
Here are the dramatic pictures of the attack on Li’s prettiness:
I really hope I see Brian Lenihan in the flesh. He’s rocking a skirted egg too, I just know it. He needs to be exposed. If I get near enough the big lummox I’m going to go for it. I might go to prison, but I’m happy to take one for the team.
This kind of timid terrorism cheers me right up. Look kids, you can show disapproval without any violence! In this hair-raising incident, a wig was pulled off. Nobody got shot or stabbed; nobody went home in an ambulance. It’s not like Mr. Li himself was pulled off. I expect he lives in fear of this every day, due to his prettiness.
It makes the public very happy to see politicians getting brought back down to earth, especially if they happen to be cuntybastards. Over in the UK today, BNP Leader Nick Griffin was pelted with eggs:
Nick’s not too upset, the eggs were honest, salt-of-the-earth British eggs. Foreign eggs though are inferior and you shouldn’t trust them.
