Same procedure as every year

If counted well the  Germans today can/could watch Dinner for One (The 90th Birthday) - history here - 13 times, and thus three times fewer than one year ago, but again at different times on various TV-channels, and  apart from the original in various German dialects; no Swiss version in 2012, though.
Very strange folks, the Germans.
Well, judge for yourself.

Tiny tip-off: Be absolutely determined not to laugh.

 

How exciting

How exciting having blocked comments and thus never coming to read those thousands comments I might have got, and never coming to know how many spams of religious nutters I might have had to delete.

Tomorrow my excitement will end.

May the patience be with you.

In Mood for a Fado

Irreal shadows, unreal trees [?]

Nature is where we not are.
There, only there exist the real shadows and real trees.

Coming and going.

Merry Christmas

A child's born.
Its 'cross': malnutrition.
About 10,000 times a day.

So Merry Christmas then,
and peace on Earth.
And after the mass
enjoy the masses on your table.
Sumptuous meals,
a Lucullan feast.

After all, (billions of) individuals can't change the world, can they?

May the Lord care for the poor souls.


Fucking hypocrites! 

 

Those who feel offended are meant!

* Typo in the title? Nah. It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

A safe world for women

Interesting.
I am told, millions of female foeti are aborted in China. Due to the One-Child-policy, it is said.

At the same time, I hear girls and young women are getting kidnapped in Vietnam, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Cambodia,  North Korea even and other countries, in order to sell them to the ordinary Chinese family's "One and only" who would otherwise not find a bride, and not only because he not seldom is a fat, stupid egoist, due to the excellent education he, the little prince, got.

Oh well, and kept in brothels they can even serve many little princes.

Really?

Millions of female foeti are aborted in India, too. And there does not exist a One-Child-Policy.
At the same time, I hear girls and young women are kidnapped in Vietnam, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Cambodia, North Korea even and other countries, in order to sell them to one of those ordinary Indian family's 'masculine pride' who would otherwise not find a bride, and not only because he not seldom is a stupid little macho, due to the excellent education he, the little idiot, got.

What rotten societies!

Time for a new Lysistrata:

And for a safe world for women.

Not only in Kyrgyzstan.

In less than thousand and one years.

The peace of the night.

Lousy photo ...

... beautiful bird.

... beautiful creature, was my first thought. I think creature is a lovely word. But then, I do not believe in anyone / anything creating creatures, creating nature.
Which is why I became creative and changed one word in above's caption.
