Europe needs the 'shocking' Czechs :: Bruno Waterfield in Brussels

Europe needs the 'shocking' Czechs :: Bruno Waterfield in Brussels

Conservative Roman Catholic Poland is depicted by a sculpture of priests raising the rainbow flag of the gay movement, subverting the iconic image of the American soldiers planting the Stars and Stripes on Iwi Jima. "A surreal vision of the interconnection of that which can not be interconnected," claims the artist Leszek Hirszenberg.

This is probably what I like most about czech people - open hatred of stupid people.

Dig the press

   June 09, 2008      

Dig the press

Nowadays it is very difficult to find something, which shows common sense. I have no idea why it is happening - it looks like it is just not popular to be smart, probably because we just like to follow leaders.

This one I have found in the Prague Post, when flying back from Marseilles:

"CARTOONS Danish cartoons of the prophet Mohammed have appeared on posters in Prague and Brno, ČTK reported May 31. The Czech Muslim community has ignored the cartoons, saying their portrayal of Mohammed is wrong, but that they are not worth commenting upon."

http://www.praguepost.com/sections/2008/06/04/news/

Looks like environment forces people to change (muslims in cz), on the other hand here is an opposite example:

"Rated R

All I can say about the “Sexism?” exhibit at Galery Václava Špály on Národní street is — God help the Czech Republic and its people (“Rated R,” Night & Day, May 21–27). What a new low this has reached. Can you not see the depravity of this? Are we not close to mimicking the Roman Empire in its final days?When my children are in Prague, I will make sure they do not walk down this street. How is one supposed to raise moral children in this Satanic culture? Is it any wonder that Islamic fanatics hate the West?"

http://www.praguepost.com/articles/2008/06/04/letters-to-the-editor.php

Naturally, it came from Texas.

And some sad news:

"Australia’s James Squire Pilsner and Oregon’s Hopworks Urban Brewery Lager won the gold and silver awards, respectively, for their pilsner beers at the competition, which was held in late April. Coming in third was Gambrinus Premium, brewed by Plzeňský Prazdroj, the legendary Czech brewery that first invented the pilsner style of beer in 1842."

France, Marseilles, La Ciota, The Police

   June 04, 2008      

The devil plays interesting games - I am already second day in La Ciota, having some kind of job related workshops. As side story - the plane has been late, we have missed exit on the highway to La Ciota and other general stuff.

Other strange chain of events - I have been in The Police concert yesterday, which has been pretty good fun - screaming teenagers with wet pants, sound quality excellent and around 50k people singing along some words, which Marseilles french.

Before going to the concert we had a lecture in the metro about french and Marseilles french (correct, incorrect), wondered why there are french street names in the city, where almost everyone speaks arabic and have bought 3 beers for 11 euros, which is kind of strange amount, considering, that the price on the price list has been 3 euros per 0.33l heineken can. Oh well, I will earn those few euros in two years, thanks to this post and Google ads.

Will post some photos later, after I will process pictures.

Some fish is in danger

   October 01, 2007      

While it is very nice news to hear - other companies should be scared now - Google is trying to catch all the fish in the pond:

In an interview, Google's head of engineering in Europe says that the company will hire thousands of new engineers.
