Activists Cry Foul Over Killing of Domino-Spilling Sparrow
Just because you have no life don't give you the right to go around ending everything else's.
Animal rights activists in the Netherlands want charges laid in the shooting of a rare sparrow that knocked over 23,000 dominoes as a TV company was setting up for a world-record attempt. Damn right charges should be laid, and that's only for taking the time to set up 23,000 dominos. So a bunch of morons spend way too much time trying to break a record no one cares about, a sparrow does what you know everyone's thinking about doing, and you shoot it. Assholes.
The sparrow, which is on the national endangered list, had flown into an exposition centre in the city of Leeuwarden. After knocking over the dominoes, it was chased into a corner and shot by an exterminator with an air rifle. That'll teach the sparrow who's the dominant species.
Under Dutch law, you need a permit to kill this kind of bird, and a permit can only be granted when there's a danger to public health or a crop. I take it that doesn't include ruining the preparation of something no one is going to give a shit about anyway.
"I might add: Is it really necessary to kill a bird that knocked over a few dominoes for a game?" said Dutch animal protection agency spokesman Niels Dorland. Um...no...actually it isn't. Actually, it really isn't necessary to kill a bird unless you are starving to death or it is attempting to peak your or a loved ones eyes out. You ever stub your toe on a table as you walk by and then hit the table in anger? It's kind of like that. Blaming something else and reacting violently for our own stupidity. It's a reaction we use that goes back to the times when we used to live in trees.
Death threats have reportedly been made against the man who killed the bird. Hey look, the people against the killing of animals are making death threats. I love this planet.
About 100 people with the TV company Endemol NV had spent weeks at the centre setting up more than four million dominoes in an attempt to surpass the official Guinness world record for falling dominoes. The record is 3,992,397. Why the fuck are we as a society keeping track of this bullshit?
Endemol spokesman Jeroen van Waardenberg defended killing the bird. "That bird was flying around and knocking over a lot of dominoes," van Waardenberg said. "More than 100 people from 12 countries had worked for more than a month setting them up." You really found that many people with absolutely nothing to fucking do? You should have thanked the bird for ending the pathetic display of the results of boredom and the human desire to see our names written somewhere other than the phonebook. The only way I could let this one pass is if, right after the sparrow was shot, a janiter knocked over some dominos and they shot him.
Fucking people.

Hey Blogger!
Do you write for television, you sound like that guy on MSNBC Hoberman? (countdown)I think that's the name of the show. It sounds so much like his humor, minus the F#@^K language but I would guess you wouldn't be able to use it on TV but it works better on this Blog.
great work and I guess I'll never know who you may write for but it's really funny material anyway.
Thank you for the kind words. I don't currently write for television though that would be something wouldn't it. Thanks again for stopping by.
