Palin Effigy Blown Up with Fireworks (Republican, vice president, Obama, politicians)

[helenejen]

"Townsfolk in England have delivered their explosive verdict on Sarah Palin, stuffing a giant effigy of the U.S. Republican vice presidential nominee with fireworks and blowing her up to raucous cheers."

The picture is pretty funny from what I can make out. And keep in mind other political figures have been done for years, not that that will stop some of you from outrage.

They do this every year with effigies of politicians and leaders from all over.

Don't worry, they don't think Sarah is that special.

I'm not big on blowing people up even if it's just an effigy. I'm also not too keen on the hanging of her at Halloween. Not too cool IMO.

I don't mind this, since they do it every year. Palin was their pick, Obama's in there next to her, they're obviously just people who like to get together once a year and blow something up without killing anyone.

Blow something up once a year without killing anyone.

That sounds like a lot of fun!!

I agree. Re: the Halloween thing, it's ditto for Obama. The fireworks business may be "British humor", but I don't care for it.
