#1 LOL! I saw the title, looked at the graphic, figured it was cobbled together by Fred or Doc Steve as a joke, then started to read the story. The 'artist' is laughing, too. All the way to the bank...

#2 I thought the same thing! Maybe they could get Fred to put something together for them. Or skip the language thing altogether and have Prince come up with a unisex symbol for all to use.

And if that fails, I'll be glad to give it a try for a mere $100,000.

#3 The could use this or this or generate their own here...

If it should be only one word, well, the one that seems most apropos to me is "Kneel".

#6 Do you know how many lunches we had over this?

No, don't tell me. Let me guess. Thousands?

Sort of reminds me of this silly bumpersticker:

Yep. I was gonna praise the graphic as quality, speedy, high snark.

The student artist probably got $500, a nice certificate, and a bullet on his resume. The rest of the 200,000 EU (!!) was spent on lunches. Now they'll spend 500,000 EU arguing about it.

#14 Should've left off the silly writing and just used the plain white background.
Would've got the French onboard anyways...

#15 It would go well with this thing:

(One of the proposals for an "improved" EU flag)

#16 "One of the proposals for an "improved" EU flag"

Imagine the lawsuits caused by people looking at that flag and having epileptic seizures.

The Scots will be checking in shortly. I can hear the skirl of approaching pipes.

#20 And now you know why MADONNA, i.e. JOSEPHINE BONAPARTE, told her brother NAPOLEON to save Europe from itself.
