[nilesfunnies] Fw: Ananova - Police hunt poo protesters


Ananova - Police hunt poo protesters

Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature
US flags into piles of dog poo in public parks.

Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said: "This has been going
on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles of
excrement that have been claimed during that time."

The series of incidents was originally thought to be some sort of protest
against the US-led invasion of Iraq.

And then when it continued it was thought to be a protest against
President George W. Bush's campaign for re-election.

But it is still going on and the police say they are completely baffled as
to who is to blame.

"We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in
the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler. "But frankly, we don't
know what we would do if we caught them red handed."

Legal experts say there is no law against using faeces as a flag stand and
the federal constitution is vague on the issue.
