Here's 6 pictures the BBC took for Lisbon polling, including:
1. A ginger with freckles
2. Three nuns
3. Biffo
4. A double decker bus
5. Gerry Adams

The Times picture is alright. The real bigots in the UK - towards Ireland - have always been the liberals.

Seillejet · 02-10-2009 09:41PM

I thought they were decent pics in fairness. Particularly harsh on the little red haired girl I thought.

Sure everyone knows that they are extinct, it was the Japanese that hunted them down for their rare, gamey meat.

It proves that people who voted "Yes" are almost 90% more likely to be more attractive than people who vote "No".

I wonder if the Irish are the most easily offended nation in the world?

Latchy · 02-10-2009 10:33PM
