Okay, this pisses me off...
Amid the absolute deluge of crap about all the happy Catholics in Sydney at the moment, this piece of news merits one line in the middle of an article about those unconstitutional 'nuisance' laws that got repealed:
Reflecting the religious fervor in Sydney, "Ratzinger Rules" was spray painted on a war memorial overnight. Josef Ratzinger is the birth name of Pope Benedict.
One fucking line?
Now, I'm far from being a supporter of armed conflict, but where the hell is the respect?
You don't get tools vandalising war memorials during Mardi Gras with 'Gay Pride Rules' and 'Original '78ers Forever', but can you imagine the outrage if they did?
I remember the last time the War Memorial in Sydney was vandalised by a bunch of teenagers with spray paint. There was hype in the media for weeks as the police tracked down and charged those maggots. But because this was done during the hype of WYD, it gets hidden in an article on a completely different subject?
EDIT: Oh, and if you want an idea of just how much of a desecration this is, take a look at the wikipedia article on the memorial and see what a beautiful building those mongrels defiled (in particular, the photo down the bottom taken at night, which reveals it in its full glory).
