Germans Protest Bush with US Flags in Dog Poo!

[Chicago Democrat]

Police hunt poo protesters

Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature US flags 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 excrement that have been claimed during that time."

The series of incidents was originally thought to be some sort of protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq.

And then when it continued it was thought to be a protest against President George W. Bush's campaign for re-election.

But it is still going on and the police say they are completely baffled as to who is to blame

1. Perhaps it's simply thoughtful dog owners.

2. This is funny, but as an aside,

I'm pretty horrified to learn that people leave their dogs' poo in public parks in Germany. 2000 to 3000 piles? That's a lotta poo.

3. It's common in Europe. Despite the "No Fouling the Footpath"

signs all over London, it's near impossible to come home without dog shit on your shoes.

6. It's only an average of

7 to 8 piles a day. If that's what German dogs think of Shrubco,
just imagine what American dogs would be capable of.

8. What, no pictures? And why the U.S. flag? Why not a pic of W?

Some enterprising soul needs to make little flags with a W pic on them to stick into the poo piles. Claim some dog doo for Dubya!
