Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty

I came across this blog, by some drippy kiwi feminist pinko, pontificating on how she protested the Iraq war at New Zealand's Cenotaph on the fifth anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq.

she observed. I don't know how many cocks she's seen, Mine, for example a totally different shape to a cenotaph. I guess she's a lesbian who didn't pay attention in biology class.
Shouldn't it be more purple and veiny?

The Greenham common women too, were fond of observing that missiles are somewhat phallic. That this was so for aerodynamic rather than Freudian reasons seems to have passed them by, but any thing longer than it is wide is, to the feminist mind, a symbol of phallocentric oppression. No doubt they think they're mighty clever. Everyone else just laughs at their hairy armpits and ignores what they're saying.

But I digress. She's at the pre-arranged protest at the Cenotaph and... you guessed it... no one else turned up.
"For ten minutes, I'd vigiled alone in solidarity with the people of Iraq."
Maybe that's because New Zealand, despite its proud martial history took no part in the invasion, and the small engineer contingent they provided to the UN (yes the UN, though their operational command was British) was withdrawn in 2004. Consequently no-one in New Zealand gives a shit. Hell, We've still got over 4,000 boys and girls out there, and like it or not, no-one is that bothered here (outside the usual suspects of the leftist fifth column, naturally). Even in America, which has over 100,000 troops in theatre, it is not the major issue of the Election campaign - the economy is.

She concludes
"The fifteenth of February 2003 was amazing, but a war cannot be stopped in one day, even one day with millions of people. Anything we do must be sustained longer than the period where urgency overwhelms us. I think the question for those of us who took part is how we can build, next time"
Or perhaps you could just get a life? Just a suggestion, darling.

Mine isn't shaped like that but does have four oversized flags on one side of it too and also needs floodlights to illuminate it all.

I'm considering enlargement surgery.

She's right, you know.

Everything that is vaguely willy shaped is offensive and oppressive and should be banned. Including cigars, biros & felt tips, aeroplanes, tampons, carrots, cucumbers, candles, gherkins. We should only be allowed to have round things like tennis balls and oranges and yurts. But woe betide you put of these next to each other, 'cause that could look a pair of bollocks or a pair of breasts! They will be sold singly only.

Does this mean that something magical happens if you stroke the memorial?

Give her a break. New Zealand is a place where bugger all happens. I've forgotten which wag said it but the captains of planes announce "You are now landing in New Zealand, please set your watches to 1952". So a protest is probably the most exciting thing that happened to the land of the long grey cloud since the Treaty of Waitangi.

As for your Lesbian point. Again the poor woman may have little or no choice. Whilst the landscape of New Zealand is as beautiful and inspiring as Norway; its women are not. I can count on one hand the number of good looking Kiwi women. Out of a population of 4.1 million they consist of Rachel Hunter and the cast of Xena - Warrior Princess. And outside the publications of Paul Raymond I've never met a clam lapper that looks like they have any other choice in the matter.
