*Huge grin* I debated whether to post this or not. I thought it was hilarious too, but I really don't want to upset anyone.

It is hard to believe some of these were real, but hey, people can be pretty dim sometimes, and it doesn't matter which country.

I know what you mean, it's easy to cause offence, but this is genuinely funny. I love the gag about high heels and British politicians - I just wish I'd thought of it first!
