Greek disability groups expressed anger yesterday at a government decision to expand a list of state-recognized disability categories to include pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs. No news yet as to whether or not these people will also qualify for special parking close to schools, playgrounds, and shopping malls.
Following President Vaclav Klaus’ pen theft during a trade ceremony with Chile, a 5 000-strong Facebook campaign has been launched in the Czech Republic to mail pens and stationery to his offices, because, “Mr. president obviously has nothing to write with.” As yet, there is no word on whether these pens are encrusted with semi-precious Chilean stones.
Vaclav Klaus is the president of the Czech Republic. He also seems to be a human magpie. See how he spots a shiny pen on his desk, and then sneakily pockets it. The brazen stylus heist, however, took place in full view of the media (with video cameras) during a ceremony to announce a trade agreement between his country and Chile.
