It’s time for another installment of “this shit’s getting ridiculous“.
Granted this is not the US, but I won’t put it past them. In a meta-ironic twist of fate, UK police are now banning the board game “War on Terror” in an effort to fight terrorism. Specifically they point to the balaclavas that comes with the games. As Bruce Schneier points out: “Don’t they realize that balaclavas are for sale everywhere in the UK? Or that scarves, hoods, handkerchiefs, and dark glasses could also be used to conceal someone’s identity?”
In this post 9/11 age, why are t-shirts, hat, sunglasses, hoods, sweatshirts, bandanas, dew rags, pants, underwear, and ski masks not banned everywhere? We are fighting a global “war” on terror here, and we can’t go halfway because then the terrorists would win. It is vital to have projects like these. How else are we supposed to fight terrorism? Obviously we need a complete and total ban of all clothing and fabric from the UK. Not only will it make life more interesting, but we will be able to see who the terrorists are. And if you’re not in the UK, you can still do your part in the war on terror by refusing to buy clothing of any kind and refrain from wearing any in public. Your country will appreciate your efforts.
