Which of these stories is stranger?
« on: July 17, 2009, 09:48:36 PM »
News from the upper midwest:

Duluth police search for rubber ball fetish burglar

Wienermobile Collides With Home

Freud would probably have a field day with both.

I do hope that the wienermobile driver used protection.

 I understand the driver of the weinermobile was a woman............

It's a great country that lets a woman drive around in a gigantic phallic shaped car.... ;D

There was a weinermobile parked outside a hotel in the area last weekend. They weren't trying to hide it either because it was parked in the spaces directly on the street in front of the hotel parking lot.
There are many in this world that call me Darrol, feel free to be apart of that group.

Yes, but she drove it forward when she meant to back it out. A guy wouldn't do that.

I'd like to add a third strange story. If not for the story itself then at least for the headline the ABC gave it,

Gnome probed over Nazi salute  :mrgreen:  I hope they wore latex gloves.

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I actually like that "Sieg Heil!-Gartenzwerg" artistically and find it quite an apt political statement. It points the finger at how the Nazis managed to garner support from generally rather apolitical people/classes - the petite bourgeoisie or "Kleinbürgertum", the law-abiding and good order-loving Joe and Joan Blows of this world - not readily identified with the vile aspects of that ideology. It has caused quite an uproar in Germany, but I find the intent of it rather clear. And the blank, merciless stare of the gnome is disconcerting. Makes you think. Good art should do that.
