Guys, guys this is just too funny. :rofl: :rofl:
Not entirely werewofl related but it IS related to elections and too funny not to share...
It is election time in my country and so on one of my favourite talk-shows, they are interviewing people who have presented themselves as candidates.
Today was one special man, and luckily no one's taking him seriously, but the fact that he even thinks he has a chance is both sad and really funny...
Just the highlights:
Interviewer: What are your plans for the economy?
Interviewee: Well first, I will all but abolish all taxes. Income Tax? Gone. Value-added Tax? Gone. They are just strangling the people.
...
Interviewer: But actually, there has been talk about actually raising taxes higher to make up for having increased the salaries of all government employees. How are you going to finance this change if you are put in power?
Interviewee: What's all that gold doing in our national treasury doing, anyway? Let's just sell it off to some other countries, get something like a billion dollars, then gradually buy it back
Interviewer: But wouldn't this wreck the national currency?
Interviewee: The value of gold went down drastically lately and how much was our currency affected? Not one bit. There is no risk...
...
Interviewer: What are some other highlights of your electoral campaign?
Interviewee: Well, conscription, for once. About 4% of the national population should be in active military service at all times.
...
Interviewer: Anything else?
Interviewee: Ban all casinos and close down all hotels!
Interviewer: But our country's economy is very heavily reliant on tourists!
Interviewee: I couldn't care less about those foreigners who just come here for our women. We must preserve their purity! Ban sexual tourism!
...
Interviewer: What about armed militant groups?
Interviewee: Those are a national treasury! We will take their weapons for our army, and every citizen that has weapons will have to give them up for the army, too.
...
Interviewer: You seem really sure of yourself, yet you do not belong to any political party, nor is any backing you up. Where does your power come from?
Interviewee: From God, I have the mandate of heaven to rule, and the people want me. I am fully certain of my victory and you should all apologize for laughing!
...
I want someone to roleplay this guy, please :laugh:
It's just that more extreme characters tend to generate more RP and possibilities for RP-rivalries.
