More Political BS

Now, today in assembly at school, we were read a (supposed) message from the Director General of the NSW DET. It said something that read like: "If you play pranks with fake weapons that look like real weapons and the victim of the prank gets a heart attack, you have committed a crime". Let's look at the implications of that. In effect it's saying that it's illegal to indirectly cause someone a heart attack. Let's look at what could potentially be illegal activity according to what was said:

• Giving back a test with a 0% mark (teachers)


• Unexpectedly patting someone on the back (anyone)


• Telling someone that they have been charged with indirectly causing someone a heart attack (police, teachers, principals, director generals of the NSW DET, etc.)


• Seeing a scary movite (movie makers)


• Filling a bag with air and popping it (anyone)


• Suddenly screaming unexpectedly (anyone)


• Seeing a blog post telling them that indirectly causing someone a heart attack is a crime (me)


• Many more...

So accoding to what this director general has said, everyone is a criminal. I consider this to be worthy of "CryptWizard's Bullshit of the Month" award. I will make some sort of Photoshopped medal for it soon. Thanks to the Director General of the New South Wales Department of Education for indirectly delivering that speech.
