!Yo Diggity!

There is an English website which I do not want to support because I feel it is quite vulgar and often leaves me with a very sad feeling about the state of Hungary and people in general so it shall remain nameless… but that being said, it, once and awhile has some very funny stuff. Yes, contradictary I know… but true, ok? So, it is plagiarism if I quote from it but do not give the name? Ms. DeShaney - if you read my blog… can you help me out here?? (Wow - I just made myself laugh outloud. This is an inside joke - if you went to high school with me you are laughing as well, I am sure of it! heehee)

Here is an except from the article:

“Today is the one year anniversary of the leaking of Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány’s not-so-secret lies speech, also known as the elkúrtuk speech, which is really the speech that launched a thousand nutters. A protest march is planned for this evening, which will culminate where else but at Kossuth tér. After scaring away the handballers, the protesters have permission to stay until 11 at night, at which point if they don’t, something interesting might happen. Otherwise, it’ll be the usual chants of “Gyurcsány you suck!” followed by the prime minister announcing “the fascists are coming, the fascists are coming!” If something does actually happen, we’ll keep you posted. Otherwise, well, yeah…”

So I live two blocks from Kossuth tér, and I can validate that nothing too interesting happened last night. Just lots of people flags, and of course, the beer cart. I just still don’t get why they are selling beer at a protest. Seems like the authorities should have some problem with that. This is the thing about cultural differences: I’ll never understand some things. I just take note, and move on….
