The stupidity... it's breathtaking

Utter idiocy from the Royal Mint in the run-up to the London Olympics

Wow, just wow. I mean, really?

engage757 · 05-05-2012, 12:54 PM

wow.

Jakke · 05-05-2012, 01:00 PM

Wow, this almost rivals that of the Olympic Games organizers when they contacted The Who's management, and kindly asked if Mr Moon had any time to play the opening cermony.

THe managers response? This is what he said when a journalist asked him:

-"I emailed back saying Keith now resides in Golders Green crematorium, having lived up to The Who's anthemic line 'I hope I die before I get old'". If they have a round table, some glasses and candles, we might be able contact him."

One of the benefits of monotheism, kerfuffles such as these categorically cannot happen.

And one of the best things about atheism is that there are no gods at all to put on a coin!

I'm just kidding

Romans....

*EDIT* I mean, Yahwe and Allah are pretty much invisible anyway, so how could anyone have put them on a coin in the first place? Just a blank piece of metal really...

Our coins are in Latin anyway, these are just the Latin names for the Greek gods..

The best one is the disabled diety, Vulcan. Should have been a coin for the Paralympics.

Yes and no. The Romans effectively "borrowed" the Greek gods and changed their names. They also changed a few of the god's personalities and traits, so the two pantheon's aren't exactly equivalent.

not to hijack your thread, but heres another stupidity seen public. Borats parody on kazakstan's national anthem was played at a game award ceremony as the people in charge of the music downloaded the wrong anthem. the anthem was talking about kazakstan having the best prostitutes and yada yada:
