Tourist pamphlet spoilt by nose picking girl

according to the Telegraph.co.uk news...

A council's attempt to promote a tourist attraction has been undermined by an unfortunate picture, say critics.
A leaflet extolling the elysian beauties of Thornham Walks - a 12-mile footpath network in Suffolk - has a picture of a young girl picking her nose.
Andrew Stringer, a Green councillor, says that "it does not represent our youth in the best light" and wants the "amateurish" pamphlet to be withdrawn.
A Mid Suffolk District Council spokesman admitted: "It's not the best photograph", but added: "They wanted a real picture, not a typical staged one.
"It's a real picture and shows children in their Easter outfits."

a kid picking her nose doesn't represent their youth in the best light, whereas, the paper-mache easter bunny hats are pretty normal.

Come Again?

In case you missed Mr. Bill's speech in response to a question about Hillary running negative campaign ads, here's a quick recap...

"Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen."
"What did you think about the Obama thing calling Hillary the senator from Punjab? Did you like that? Or what about the Obama handout that was covered up, the press never reported on, implying that I was a crook. Scouring me — scathing criticism over my financial reports. Ken Starr spent $70 million and indicted innocent people to find out that I wouldn't take a nickel to see the cow jump over the moon.

"So you can take a shot at Mark Penn if you want. It wasn't his best day. He was hurt. He felt badly we didn't do better in Iowa," said Clinton. "But the idea that one of these campaigns is positive and the other is negative when I know the reverse is true — and I have seen it and I have been blistered by it for months — is a little tough to take. Just because of the sanitizing coverage that's in the media doesn't mean the facts aren't out there."

I love politicians. "...the idea that one of these campaigns is positive and the other is negative when i know the reverse is true..." And the reverse would be ... that one is negative and the other is positive? Xrist that is profound! And that's what I love about politicians, the uncanny ability to say nothing and be passionate about it. It's going to be a long year listening to all of this drivel.

Is Britney Legally Batshit Bonkers?

Personally, having experienced a similar lapse in good judgment on occasion, I seriously doubt anything long term will come of this incident. Give it 72 hours and the world will continue as if this little hiccup never happened at all.

However, there are some pseudo-sympathizers quite caught up in the drama and want to blame this tragedy on her parents suggesting that Ms Spears should have been court-ordered to a psychological evaluation far prior to this episode. For those of you in this category, I would like to point out the follow from the:

California Mental Health Law

particularly
Chapter 2: Involuntary Treatment
and
Article 2. Court-Ordered Evaluation for Mentally Disordered
which states...
5200. Any person alleged, as a result of mental disorder, to be a danger to others, or to himself, or to be gravely disabled, may be given an evaluation of his condition under a superior court order pursuant to this article. The provisions of this article shall be carried out with the utmost consideration for the privacy and dignity of the person for whom a court-ordered evaluation is requested.

5201. Any individual may apply to the person or agency designated by the county for a petition alleging that there is in the county a person who is, as a result of mental disorder a danger to others, or to himself, or is gravely disabled, and requesting that an evaluation of the person's condition be made.

that 'Any individual' part means 'Any individual' can request an evaluation for somebody. That means you or I have just as much authority as her parents, especially since Britney is not just our cute little mouseketeer anymore, but a legal adult.
Or course, the reason more people don't do this is because of section 5203 which states...

5203. Any individual who seeks a petition for court-ordered evaluation knowing that the person for whom the petition is sought is not, as a result of mental disorder, a danger to himself, or to others, or gravely disabled is guilty of a misdemeanor, and may be held liable in civil damages by the person against whom the petition was sought.

That means you damn sure better be quite certain she is certifiable before seeking such an injunction. Since a large pct of celebrities live in their own created reality, i suspect it would be very difficult to prove that Ms. Spears is or was that many degrees off-kilter to warrant such a drastic scenario.

If you believe she was, then you should have reported her.
