President George Bush

May 2, 2005



Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of dog poo in public parks.

Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said:"This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles of that have been claimed during that time." The incidents were originally believed to be some sort of protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq, but, when they continued, they were thought to be a protest against President George W. Bush's campaign
for re-election.

They're still going on, however, and the police say they are completely baffled as to who is to blame."We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler."But frankly," he continued, "we don't know what we'd do if we caught them red-handed." Legal experts say there is no law against using feces s a flag-stand and the Federal Constitution is vague on
the issue.

See for yourself:

I've seen that pic before... it's priceless.

So far, the German authorities have been unable to determine who's doing this. tsk tsk :nopity:

Red handed? I don't think so!

5. The police are looking for whoever's doing it?
But the person hasn't broken any law, as far as I can tell -- Just claiming all the turds for King Shit.

8. I think they're performing a valuable service
the flags make the poo more visible and hence easier to locate for cleanup.

I'll bet the truth is they're just dying to meet whoever's been doing it.
