Elections are over
Yes, we did have another round of elections in here. You know, elections are a fun period for everyone: schools close on Saturday in order to prepare voting stations, companies pay people a journey back home in order to vote (no, we can't vote by post for some reason I've never understood) and the political blatter covers the real problems of the country.
However, your re-immigrant needs something else to think about in order to alleviate the stomach sickness, and what better than a shot of "Sua Santità ", His Divine Holiness the Pope Benedict XVI to do that?
You should know that the pope is now in Poland, on a tour in Warsaw and Oswiecim, better and sadly known as Auschwitz. It's quite symbolic for him, a German national, to go to the place where Germans (and Catholics) have committed humanity's greatest crime, and I certainly won't go into such issues in here.
However, and on a much lighter tone, it seems that the pope's presence inspires people's fantasy. Look at this:
Polish Public TV to Ban Lingerie, Beer Ads During Papal Visit
Would life be the same without catholics? of course not. Glass in hand, let's sip this one slowly as it deserves full attention.
Polish public television will ban advertisements for such things as beer, lingerie and contraceptives during this month's visit by Pope Benedict XVI.
Interesting how they correlate beer, underpants and condoms, eh? I could understand the underpant bit, seeing a tanga after Ratzinger's face is probably quite shocking. On condoms it's a long story, and I don't want to go into it. But what about beer? Let's read on:
A committee will review them to ensure that their content does not conflict with live coverage of the papal visit.
Right. And where's the conflict between beer and pope? can't pilgrims have beer after their long walks to holy sites? I fail to get it. But let's continue our read, it's not over:
The network's list of unacceptable ads also includes those for ``intimate hygiene products'' and ``explosives and flammable materials,'' the Web site said.
Ah, now I get it. Only people with no fuel in their tank and with dirty dicks and asses are allowed in front of the TV when Pope's on.
