Not sure if anyone diaried this, but I found it on the CNN website.
Townsfolk in England have delivered their explosive verdict on Sarah Palin, stuffing a giant effigy of the U.S. Republican vice presidential nominee with fireworks and blowing her up to raucous cheers.
Um, wow?
It gives you a sense of what folks outside the US think about our Sarah.
The unusual display was the climax of an annual bonfire celebration Saturday in the southern town of Battle, where political figures are a favorite target of a local tradition that sees a different icon destroyed each year.
This year's creation was a rather unflattering depiction of the self-declared "hockey mom," a machine gun brandished in her muscular arms, bright red lipstick surrounding a grimacing smile and a moose at her side.
If you have a chance to check it out in the overnight, look at the most viewed videos today on youtube. Nearly half of the videos on the first three pages are copies of the prank phone call two Canadian comedians pulled on Sarah on Saturday. It's absolutely viral and worldwide. Here's my copy:
In the comments, a lot of Canadians---polite folks they are---try to make clear that they DON'T see her as reflective of where we're at here, as long as we don't elect her!
Finally, I wanted to share this, for anyone who needs some cheering up.
