WHEN JOHAN VANDE LANOTTE, Belgium's Vice Prime Minister, goes to the toilets today, he finds the urinals in the offices of his ministry decorated with stickers. They show an American flag and the head of George W. Bush. "Go ahead. Piss on me," the caption says. Vande Lanotte is one of Bush's hosts in Brussels. Is peeing on your guest's head appropriate? In Belgium it is. After all, Brussels' best known statue is that of "Manneken Pis," a peeing boy.
The piss stickers, specially made to be used in urinals, can be seen these days in the public toilets of Belgian schools, youth clubs, and pubs. They were designed by Laurent Winnock, president of the Young Socialists, the youth branch of Vande Lanotte's Socialist party. Winnock did his creative work during his office hours, which would not be worth mentioning if Winnock did not work in the offices of Vice Prime Minister Vande Lanotte, as one of his press spokesmen.
President Bush has spent the last couple of days in Belgium meeting with EU and NATO officials. Let us not forget that Belgium was also the site of some of the last and most fierce battles fo WWII when the Allies were giving their lives to free these idiots. Belgians live in peace today because of the sacrifice of American lives.
Can you imagine the outrage in Europe if Americans created stickers like this with Chirac or some other EU leader on them and plastered them all over the country (frankly, I'd be surprised if someone isn't already working on that). The Europeans are emotional infants and the less we have to deal with them the better.
Let them free their own countries next time.
