INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM
This past weekend I attended the tall ship festival in Port Alberni,
and enjoyed 99 percent of it. The only unpleasant part of the day was
seeing the 2010 Olympic mascots up close and personal. I was never
their biggest fan from day one, but seeing them this close has made
me name them LARRY MOE and CURLY ( no offence to the 3 Stooges). With
all the artists and creative people that call this province home how
in hell did we wind up with these 3 creatures. The big brown one
looked like a large pile of elephant dung with a smiley face
attached, the green thing a teletubby on steroids and the orca
character could be a dogfish in a tutu, even though it was the best
of the trio. Some preschoolers could have done a better job with
finger paints and papier mache.
Some one needs to be fired for incompetence. Unfortunetly it gets
worse. Have you seen the track suit/sweat suit made from Charlie
Farquarson's handkerchief that is heading to Bejing? There goes my lunch!
Our young atheletes soon to be off to China in costumes designed by
somebody fresh from the insight needle/injection site.
Here we are showing ourselves to the world to try and make a
statement. The statement from what I've seen so far is "what in hell
have you been smoking?" While I'm on the subject of smoking, what
would happen if someone went and stood next to the needle exchange
and lit up? Would they be arrested or fined for doing something illegal?
It is time to fire a lot of people, give our collective heads a shake
and stop the inmates from running the asylum.
