I assume you're talking about the rioting which occured after a newspaper there
had the nerve to state that Muhammed the Prophet would have approved of
the "Miss World Beauty Pageant". Over 50 people have been killed in Nigeria at
last report over this newspaper.
These idiot westerners... They take their pageant to Nigeria, secure in the
conceit that the rest of the world is more enlightened than the west, thinking
the values they take for granted in their safe secure realm is universal. Well
surprise surprise, the rest of the world is not like the west. Only politically-
correct idiots would think their pageant would get the same reception in
Nigeria as it would in Milan, London, or New York. A reality check for dullards
who moronically believe the freedoms they take for granted in their cushy lives
are universally respected.
And don't worry, it's not off-topic. They "grooed". (Although I'd assume Groo
would have been less mindless in planning this.)
