Farting in the church of Kofi
Brian Micklethwait (London)  International affairs

Ben Hammersley has put a bounty on Kofi Annan's head.

Annan is an object of undeserved worship, and the way to treat objects of undeserved worship is to blow raspberries at them. This Bounty Bar makes a fine raspberry. I make that three incompatible metaphors. Salutations to Photoshop, and to Normblog for the link.

Kofi really only deserves Snickers, not a Bounty.

That photo is hysterical.

Bruce - No, no and no! Frozen Snickers and beer - a treat fit for Homer Simpson.

Bounty is, on the other hand, unctuous, false, overly sweet and advertised with extreme pretentiousnes. Perfect for the phony, chocolate-covered coconut.
