Bureaucracy leads to death of 300,000 chicks and broilers

A Russian video. The blurb on TYWIKIWIDBI where I found the video states:

Found at English Russia, where this incident in the Kursk region was blamed on delinquent taxes and a convoluted bureaucracy. "The employees are putting to death one-day old chickens with tears. 'It’s as if a mother killed her child', – poultry-women explain their feelings."

If only they really did quickly put them to death. What they did was leave them to die.

Don't be a tosser

A UK town is combating litter with a few cleverly worded signs...

However it takes on a whole new meaning once you know that in the UK a "tosser" is a "masturbator".

Let them eat cheese

Well, maybe our country will take after Ireland's fine example, and try to resolve our economic troubles with cheese.

Brendan Smith, the agriculture minister for Ireland, announced that the Irish government is buying 53 tons of fresh Irish cheddar cheese to distribute for free. Mr. Smith said the plan is "an important means of contributing towards the well-being of the most deprived citizens in the [EU] community."

The Irish citizens are, not surprisingly, quite irate over this move by the government.
