This kind of ice cream is highly likely to "go off" in summer. That, and the jimmies made of C4.

It will have, in part, a coldly sober population of women without underwear, a certain percentage at any given time of whom will be bleeding menstrually without hindrance, searching for ice cream. Jesus is so proud. At last a concrete vision of a true Catholic state.

So banning the ice cream is their way of saying, "We do not want a bunch of puking pilgrims clogging the halls of our already-clogged hospitals." This makes a modicum of sense. But banning booze altogether -well, in Poland? "Good luck!" is all I can say. The people you are afraid of having drink (because they will be a visual embarrassment) it are the ones who will find it. And banning advertising just about blew my mind. I'm offended by stuff I see every day: when are things going to get banned to spare my feelings? Dear Twisty, thank you very much.

Well, excuse me. I didn't know tampons and mestrual periods were considered frivolous? While my period is being considered a silly matter and not worthy of anyone's time, especially the Pope, I might as well go ahead and bleed all over the place. Now wouldn't that be silly.
