MOVIE ANNOUNCER VOICE: "In a world, where everything was totally covered in shit..."

Hold your nose! ('http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,261523,00.html')

Yes, I am laughing at the misfortune of others.

The Americans had a flood of treacle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Molasses_Disaster), the Palestinians get a flood of shit.

It really does suck to be them...

In b4 someone blaming Israel.

What a crappy thing to happen. :(

The effluent lake poses a health hazard.

We better send health workers there to raise public awareness.

What a crappy thing to happen. :(

I'm going to throw a bloody tomohawk at you if you make that horrible a pun again. :p

Anyway, this is a bit of a disaster, though somewhat amusing despite the carnage. And hey, if you can't laugh at something like this, what's the point?

drowning in swill aint so funny to me. its sad and pathetic.

its not like a freak accident-people have been aware this could happen for long enough to correct it.

I guess they could have used that billion that Arafat spent on that Italian villa to build a modern sewage plant, but...

My boss always used to tell me that shit rolls downhill. :p


*throws a cotton candy flavored smokebomb and vanishes*

now-they have the luxury of just shitting-anywhere.

i see the housing market is just going to boom

i see the housing market is just going to boom

I don't know. From what I see, property values may have just gone up.

Think about it. Now they have less room, so the remaining land not covered in shit has gone up in value.

Shitty view though. :p

Depends on which way the wind is blowing, I guess...

word of advice... when a wall of sewage is rushing towards you... DON'T SCREAM!


damn tho... what a way to die...

In b4 someone blaming Israel.

They could be blaming the international embargo...

...damn, beaten (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6498835.stm) to it.

Fadel Kawash, head of the Palestinian Water Authority, told AP several sewage projects, including one in the village, had been halted after international funding dried up in the wake of the election victory of Hamas in January last year.

"We had a project to treat sewage in north Gaza, it was worked on for two years," he said.

"We built a pressure pipeline and pumping station but it was stopped after... troubles began."

Hamas also blamed the flood on the withdrawal of foreign aid.

But Stuart Shepherd, the UN's humanitarian aid officer in Gaza, said the Umm al-Naser plant had not been affected by the aid boycott, noting there had long been warnings about the plant.

since people are going around blaming people... I blame their high fiber/roughage diets for causing the overflow to begin with. :p

Well, when your nations economy and infrastructure depends on donations from the USA and others it's probably not a good idea to make "destroy Israel" one of the main aims of your government.

Sucks for the people drowned and flooded out though. Very few people really deserve to drown in liquid shit.

Yeah? Well, I blame Ruffy! :mad:

But that shouldn't come as a surprise... ;)

They could blame Arafat from spending those billions in aid on himself and his friends, back in the day, instead of building infrastructure.

Or they could blame the PA for spending what money they had on weapons, instead of building infrastructure.

or they could blame the PA for pissing off the donors where the money comes from...

or they could blame themselves for voting for Hamas - which, in a political sense, has been a vote for shit.

Yet they're not.

Yet they're not.

Probably because that would be an admission of failure.

It's pretty damn sad when a government considers political responsibility to be a bigger admission of failure than having part of your territory covered in a flood of shit and garbage.

A lake of human waste might be a selling feature there.

Especially if you get shore-front property.

Or they could blame the PA for spending what money they had on weapons, instead of building infrastructure..

Had the money been spent on weapons, as is oft claimed, somebody else would have been hit by the shit by now.


or they could blame the PA for pissing off the donors where the money comes from....

...except that it wasnt the PA that did the "pissing off".

O NOES!!!111!!! They went and democratically elected somebody the Amerikans don't like. Quick, bomb more shit out of them....

Maybe if the US hadn't told the reforming candidate in Fatah they wouldnt deal with him if he ran against Abbas and won, Hamas wouldn't have got in.

Speaking of shit, did you set up that "scoreboard" you were mouthing about...to keep track of how many died in the Fatah/Hamas clashes?

O NOES!!!111!!! They went and democratically elected somebody the Amerikans don't like. Quick, bomb more shit out of them....
Now that's the kind if democracy the administration has been fighting for. :) Freedom is on the march, and it's not free - it costs a buck ninetythree :p

Probably because that would be an admission of failure.

I was thinking something else...

They went and democratically elected somebody the Amerikans don't like. Quick, bomb more shit out of them....



Clever-when did the "Amerikans" bomb them,again, trollio ?

"more shit" was a reference to the OP. Some would argue that as its usually american financed, licenced or produced munitions that kill them the point is rather moot.

I wasn't aware I'd suddenly been awarded troll status...Have I been starting "Muslims ate my baby" threads in my sleep?
