  Re: Thoughts on the UN "Racist" poster?
 
(...) I'm thinking that the picture, at least to me, misses the mark. You've got 11 puzzle pieces that obviously fit together to make something (exactly what that something is is lost to me). Anyway, there is this 12th piece that obviously doesn't (...) (19 years ago, 21-Mar-06, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) I just came across this complete and udder BS. If I ever needed a definitive reason why I think that the UN is completely worthless and irresponsible, this is it.
