Getting away with bullshit

Now without a doubt, we've all heard of the APEC summit. Not much people even know exactly what it stands for or what it's about. Now we probably have a vague idea amounting to something like this:

• A heap of leaders from different countries coming to Sydney to do something


• A large section of the Sydney CBD is closed off by an expensive 2.8 metre wall


• It's a public holiday

But what most of us probably don't know:

• It goes for a whole week and only one day is a public holiday


• It actually stands for Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation


• It's supposedly to discuss ways improve economic growth, etc.

What I find disgusting is that they spent something in the order of $10 million (or billion, I forgot) setting up a zoo for the wives of the APEC people. I hardly consider that economically benefical. But then again, no one really cares because it's a public holiday. So if you're a politicial reading this, I have this to say you you:

1. You're gay

2. Give us more public holidays and you will recieve less criticism. It's called inverse variation, if you ever got to grade 8 maths...



Thanks for reading, and now you know the ultimate way to get away with bullshit.
