Headline from the Zoo:

Weasels in local zoos began protesting after slanderous survey compared them to the likes of Microsoft, GW-Bush, and the RIAA.

One outraged animal was quoted as saying "enough's enough, man! We've been portrayed negatively throughout history but this is pretty low."

At last...

...election results that I can finally feel good about. I live in California and I had been wondering why I always thought democracy was a good idea.

Well, the USA came in close second on the "weasely countries" list; I imagine that Jacques Chirac would have garnered more votes if many Americans had been able to recognize his name.

[deviator]

it shows that this is an objective, non-biased, politically neutral survey free from outside influence.

I tend to agree with _all_ of the results.

Well you can either get a handgun and murder them mid-coitus or you can take pictures and post them here.

No, wait, do both!

Pot Kettle you say? Perhaps.. but drugs can also be the answer.

So can masturbation, which I'm sure many in this crowd are familiar with!

You mean you had sex with an actual girl within the last week, and you're complaining about it on Slashdot? For those of us who almost never get our kernels recompiled, forgive me if I'm less than sypathetic.

On the other hand, you could extract revenge. Go out to the 24-hour drugstore right now and buy a big tube of Kwell. Open it and leave it on the bathroom counter. For the next few weeks, scratch yourself constantly whenever either one of them is around. For bonus points, scream every time you pee. Explain nothing.

[DoraLives]

Holy cow! You're not even there yet and you're already laying a weasly defensive strategy.

You've got the slime all over you so I'm guessing you'll go far in your intended career.

Re:ACLU is Weasly?

For a while, I've really been concerned about the falling quality of trolls here on Slashdot. Then along comes [parent], and restores my faith in trolldom.

See, kiddies, this is how you troll. Keen. Subtle. I'm especially fond of the way that the AC doesn't explicitly call Fox News unbiased, unclouded - but he implies the hell out of it. He shows you the troll, but doesn't let you touch it. Kinda like MJ in his prime.

To frost this cake, he throws in a couple of mild insults in. Not weak enough to ignore, but he's not abusing the 7 famous wordy-dirds. It bypasses your builtin four-letter discrimination routines and actually feels like he might mean it! You can't ignore it! He means it! Meanwhile, you're so browned off you slide right past the logical flaws and attack the red cape. Ole!

He waves the red cape some more; you lumber around chasing it, eventually tire, and it's over. YHBT.

I salute you, AC. We need more with your skills.

This is because most Americans think "Blaque Jacques Shellac" when they hear the French leader's name. Blaque Jacques doesn't have nearly enough web presence. Bugs Bunny rules!

California doesn't have a direct democracy. No form of state gov't follows a direct democracy in the United States. We are republic. Both at the federal level and state level. So it's not entirely that bad.

However, the recall was direct. And, that truly is sad.

He who smelt it dealt it.

[Wingnut64]

I thought this sounded familiar...

At least give us an original troll!

Wow!

[EverDense]

That's the first poll Dubya's ever won.

Re:Weasliest behavior? Why, it's the AC!

[cybercuzco]

But weaseling out of things is what seperates us from the animals! ... Except for the weasel.

Iraq has WMD. How do we know?

[devphil]

Because we kept the receipts.

(Credit goes to the Onion for that one, IIRC. No, I don't actually believe Iraq has WMD these days. We know they tried to make/buy/steal them, but they failed.)
