Iceland Heats Up



First of all, I am sorry for that title.

Secondly, have you seen what is going on in Iceland? Shit is bananas!

Back in september Bjork was all "help iceland, please", but no one was listening. Now the country's currency is disposable, no one can find a job and you need to take a out a loan to buy a veggie burger.

The young people are understandably irritated (as you'd expect) and began throwing peaceful demonstrations. The Government and Business elite ignored the demonstrations (as you'd expect) and now the shit has hit the motherfucking fan.

The demonstrations have ballooned to include regular non-political types and the "Government" has been forced to lock themselves away from a huge mob of torch wielding citizens ranging from young anarchists to concerned grandmothers, all of them hell bent on taking back their country from the big business assholes who have screwed them over.

In short, it is revolution time in Reykjavik.

Shit, that would have been a better title: Revolution in Reykjavik.

Next time, I promise.
