Theres a story on CNN today about a bonfire in the British town of Battle going out with a bang.
Every year this town has a huge bonfire and political characters are favored to be blown up. This blowing up of some political figure has become a tradition, only with different people every year. This year, they chose Sarah Palin.
"This year's creation was a rather unflattering depiction of the self-declared "hockey mom," a machine gun brandished in her muscular arms, bright red lipstick surrounding a grimacing smile and a moose at her side."
Making sure to not be one sided, there was another, smaller version of the float as Obama, wearing a military type helmet.
They stated the point was not to offend anyone, saying that the chosen candidates were simply the most interesting. More interesting is that they did not have floats of McCain, supporting the idea that Palin is just as much a celebrity as Obama. This event is believed to have begun in 1646 and has seen politicians such as Tony Blair in recent years.
