The Stones play Rio

Something about this is just wrong.

Forget the fact that Mick Jagger is 62.

Forget the fact that the police had to occupy several poor areas near the concert to prevent violence.

Forget the fact that the band was separated from fans by a VIP area.

Let’s focus on the city of Rio paying $750,000 to host the concert. Which is about 16% of the cost of putting the show on. $750,00 is to 16% as X is to 100%.

It cost around $4.7 MILLION to have the Stones play?

What is wrong with this picture?

Exporting Criminal Masterminds…

Actually, we don’t have to export them. They turn up all over.

Like the German man who didn’t like the quality of the pot he had bought. After trying to get a refund fro the dealer, he turned to the police for satisfaction.

No word on when he will be released…..

A million a day

For a whole year!

Someone (sadly, not me) won a record 365 million dollars in the latest Powerball drawing.

Wow - I literally have no idea what I could possibly do with that much money…..

Not that I wouldn’t like to try, mind you……

Open house

The famous (Infamous?) red light district in Amsterdam has been beset recently by some image problems. Some officials have been moving to shut down or increase regulation of the area. To help persuade the public of their good intentions, the district had an open house, inviting people to come see what the district was like. They offered reduced or even free admissions to the - er - establishments, tours and some bars offered a free drink.

Below is a picture of some of the festivities. This just goes to show the sheer depravity of the area in general. This blight upon western civilization should be removed immediately. I mean, really, this is obscene.

That man is playing an ACCORDION for heaven’s sake. Have you no shame?
