When police came on board to escort her off the plane, people started singing the Hokey Cokey.
Well played, Scotland. Well played.

Video literally broke my heart for a second. Not in a good way. What twats.
Why didn't they sing in german so the homeless guy could understand, 3min of his time being confused and likely frightened for barely enough change to buy him lunch and some random straw hat then his mug posted all over the place for what a great thing they apparently did to him as a quirky memory involving music will I'm sure get him dinner and a bed once they have sodded off.
Innit.
How much of a fool do you have to be to not see how humiliating/patronising that is?Utter fucking cunts.
Sickening exploitation.
This, this and this. Excruciating to watch, so demeaning to that guy. That last few seconds of the video, where they walk away hugging each other in self-congratulation... smug fuckers should be punched to death in the face.

The fail is that ad agencies are all about managing public perception, and that not one of the coked up goons in the agency thought 'exploding skyscraper / September 11 - someone could make something of this'.
Or maybe they did, and we're all just playing into their hands by talking about it. Wouldn't have known there was a TMNT movie otherwise, might go and see it now. Dammit, we've been played by coked up goons.

From a quick Google, she was third in a Challenge event in the Philippines. Challenge seem to pay even less than Ironman Corp - can't find the prize for the Philippines, but 3rd at their Vichy event would have taken home just 3500 euros, pre-tax. When you consider that iron distance pros will maybe do 3 races a year, that's no living at all, even if you're successful. Cyclists (at least male ones) would have many more earning opportunities.
Whatever sport she's doing, the lack of money in relation to the achievement is depressing.

Wonder how much difference that'll make to her in terms of earnings. Don't know what she was on as a cyclist, but many good Iron-distance pros are on buttons. If she comes 6th in the European Championships at Frankfurt, she earns $3000. Unless she isn't within 8% of the winner's time, in which case she gets zip. Take into account travel, accommodation and kit costs, if you don't have a generous bunch of sponsors, you're stuffed.

Well, they gave it to Kissinger:

They've also got some pretty unfunny petrolheaded wank about peds as well:
Unlike in the USA and some other countries "jay-walking", or pedestrians crossing the road randomly is not an offence. Also, unlike in some European countries, it is customary to stop at a Zebra Crossing, so pedestrians can cross. But regardless of whether a pedestrian is crossing the road in the right place, or at some other random point, it is strictly forbidden to hit them. Hitting pedestrians, even if they are on a road or any other dangerous place, is considered "Dangerous Driving" and specific laws have been drafted in the UK to discourage, indeed outlaw, the hitting of pedestrians..
I'm guessing they want to encourage dangerous driving so they can charge their customers some outrageous excess for the ding left on the bonnet by a cyclist/ped's disintegrating skull.
Edward, you've got to ask yourself if a weekend spent cobbling together some shite no one will read from Wikipedia and the David Icke forums is a weekend well spent.
