Childhood dreams of having private swiss bank accounts are crashing everywhere, movie plots revolving around hidden money going up in smoke. What’s the meaning of this?? Apparently the G20 are busy trying to ruin tax evader’s days all over the place by putting pressure on traditional tax havens to become more transparent about their monies – and this counts Switzerland, while they’re not happy about it, they seem to be buckling under the increased pressure. Man! What up with that? Where will I stash all my mad loot anonymously now?

Basketball sent this one in to me the other day – apparently ultra-Orthodox Jews would prefer not to know that their government has two women in their new Cabinet. A sticky problem for sure, but one easily handled by a few Isreali newspapers – just photoshop them out of the pictures! Clap, clap, problem solved! Now there’s a couple ways this could happen, you could take the way Yated Neeman did it and move two male ministers into the space occupied by the women, or the lower tech route that Shaa Tova took which was simply to black the women out. Now if it was me, I would have done it totally different. I’d have drawn handlebar moustaches onto the two ladies and dressed them in a t-shirt that said “Welcome to the Gun Show” with two arrows pointing to their biceps. But I don’t judge, there’s not always one right way.

And finally a story with a lesson. A Japanese pop star was beaten and mugged in Sweden while he was dressed as a pineapple. I know you have a lot of questions. But I prefer to let your imagination go on this rather than boring you with the truth. I simply want to point out that a moral you can take home from this story is never let a fruit be in charge of guarding your shit. It just isn’t going to work.
