A Fact & a Question

A Fact:  Some thirty-years-plus ago a foreign country invades a small island with a population of roughly 500,000 idiots, they rape and they pillage and when they are done they simply occupy a big chunk of that island. In addition a few years later they carve their huge flag on a mountain side* making it an unprecedented daily provocation to the people in the unoccupied part of the island. A few years later they also add lights to the huge flag, which can be seen from space ( that's what I heard). Now, the government of the island in order to pacify the invaders and show the rest of the world its good intentions has being giving electricity (free of charge) to the invaders for the last thirty-plus-years. That's a fact. 

A Question:  Now isn't it plausible for one to wonder whether part of that electricity consumption its allocated for the lighting of the christmas-tree-like flag on the mountain range (it even flickers at timed intervals)? I am. And I'll be damned, but those are one hell of a lot of bulbs!! 

Post Script Questions:  What's the name of the sucker who gets  to pay the electricity tap? What about senseless waste of electricity at a time of soaring oil prices. Do the islands tax-payers pay for the running of the invaders' military camps?


* 94.160 sq meters: the size of the flag. Thats quite a few football stadiums.

Comparative fairytale version of the above story written by the great essayist Leon Pink:
"Once upon a time, a vicious king, of barbaric ferocity fame, sodomized a young blue-eyed princess and kept doing so for many many years. The poor princess' husband, poorer in his wisdom as well, thought that he could pacify the vicious animal of a king. In order to do so he provided the king with ample quantities of lubricant.  For many years later the king continued to sodomize the young princess with ease, thanks to the steady flow of jars of lubricant. And they all lived happily ever after! THE END"

Fashionistas Against the Bombardments

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE:

AP.  Archibald Cronin reporting from Nicosia.

Riot police stood alert on Stasikratous Str. in Nicosia early this morning, as Cypriot socialites and fashionistas, some holding Libyan flags, were attending a protest outside the Louis Vuiton store to condemn an international strike force which launched its first strikes on Libya Saturday to destroy the country's air and missile defense systems and prevent further attacks by the Libyan government on its citizens and rebels in and around the rebel held city of Benghazi.

The Cypriot socialites and fashionistas were arguably upset and distraught with the aggressive nature of the allied actions against their fashion icon, Col. Muammar Gaddafi. 

The police eventually moved in when some of the socialites begun throwing their Balenciaga classic top-handle bags at them. There was even friction among the protesters when the fashionistas deemed that the socialites went a step too far when they began throwing their chain-strapped flap variety Chanel bags at the police. 
The senseless waste of the brand’s iconic quilting and leather-woven handle bags was too much to bear and resulted in altercations among the two fractions of protesters. 

The argument was resolved when the police called in renowned socialites and fashionistas Val T., R. Kar, and Ramos Philippa to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
