Owls infest Refigerators or @@name@@

Over the last several months Owls have infested the Refrigerators of innocent citezens of @@name@@ at an alarming rate, "Something must be done!" scream outraged Citizens.

any nation with more than 1 billion population.

[option] "This is Making me Horse Tarring mad" screams @@random name@@ owner of Bix Tex's Home Refirgeration &Firearms warehouse. "If it wasnt for all them damn liberals whining about Protecting the Polkadotted Owls back in the 80's we wouldn't have this here problem today. I suggest we declare hunting season on them with a bag limit of say 200, and it would help me move some of them double barrel 26 gague owl guns tha have been gathering dust since'86"

[effect] Owl population falling quicker than it did in '85 thanks to new Owl hunting regulations. Hunter Mortality rates also on rise as many novice hunters take to the woods untrained.

[stats] *****************************************************
***********************************************************


[option] "The poor owls only inhabit the Refrigerators because their natural habitat is being destroyed beyond repair," says @@random female name@@ the poor birds only want to live and raise a nice middle class owl family, where else can they do this except in refrigerators, and how are they supposed to know if the refrigerator is in use or abandoned." she pauses to weep openly "we must preserve the owls habitat by banning the harvesting of Trees in Owl territory, and we must declare the refrigerators that they inhabit to be protected Owl Sanctuaries."

[effect] Owl Population rises signifigantly thanks to progressive legislation in conservation Children can be seen tossing white mice to the owls in local parks.
New houses are being made of alternative materials as Forests are declared protected sanctuaries.

[stats] ********************************

[option] "You know, " Says the only semi sane enviromentalist in @@name@@ @@random name@@ "this doesn't have to be a decision extreme in either case, admitadly the forrests need to be preserved, well, lets preserve certain parts of forrests and some untouched Old Growth forrests as National Parks, Requireing the logging industry to replant taken trees is already international law, so we dont have to worry about the forrests being wiped out. and lets encourage the Refrigerator industry to make future iceboxes with special Owl Cozies, little nestboxes that the owls can inhabit and they can live with the families as valued members of the household, perhaps they an even eat mice that scamper in the house at night? and we all know how educational this could be for the Kids"

[effect] Owls are the newest fad pet in @@name@@ and can usually be found in many homes, thanks to the Westlectric "Owl Cozy®" brand refrigerator.

Interesting issue, the effects are quite long!

There's a few spelling and grammatical errors in there though, you might want to check it.

I'm curious about where you got the idea... Owls in refrigerators? Getting in there must have been tough. :P

Well, I guess I'll be blunt - the odds of that owl issue ever getting accepted are virtually nil. I'm not really into doing issues which are utterly daft.

the owl one was posted as an easter Egg one Rep suggested it be listed in that manner.

and honestly, some of the ones I have dismissed were 10x sillier, I hope you are not saying that because of the "Protect the RPer" theory I have.
