A Matter of Balance

Your political reporter continues his series investigating the proposed EU regulation - Optical Radiation Directive. Brussels regulators are taking some heat. Oktoberfest officials: " [...] which habitually attracts more than six million visitors a year, were particularly angry at the proposed ban. "This is an attack on the traditions of a region," said a spokesman."

The researchers who talk to barmaids (interesting job there) for their information report: "I have spoken to lots of waitresses and none of them have told me that sunburn in the décolleté area has ever been a problem."


Luckily the jugs are ignoring the kerfuffle.

Your intrepid reporter - delivering the news that matters - fair and balanced.

When Eifahrt said "delivering the news that matters - fair and balanced", he meant with regards to the distribution of the weight of the beer by the infamous 'beer babe'". Not to be confused with the "fair and balanced" reporting offered by the Fox News Channel.

Fox News is anything but fair and balanced. But that's a subject for discussion in September. ;-)

I am amazed that this Optical Radiation Directive is real. It i an outrage. I personally will wear a drindl to emphasis my disgust at the overly legislative Europeans.

If you wear a Dirndl, we will all be personally disgusted.
