Dark side of blonde protest

Police say campaigners fighting for a ban on blonde jokes in Hungary turned violent in a protest outside a bar.

Hungary's Blonde Women's Movement marched on parliament to hand in a petition demanding MPs to outlaw blonde jokes.

Police have now revealed that they also staged a protest outside a bar called Blondy that turned to violence when staff tried to move them on.

Bar manager, Laszlo Bolyocki, said: "Our bar is a new one and we didn't want to cause any offence with the name.

"But when we tried to get rid of the protestors they turned violent, and threw cakes and eggs at the windows and urged their blonde sisters working here to go on strike."

Blonde Women's Movement founder Krisztina Timar, 29, said: "This bar was using dumb blonde jokes to promote itself.

"It's thanks to stunts like this that people look down on us - and we have much worse chances of getting a job."

Fortunately, the blond protestors were tossing hard-boiled eggs, so the clean-up was a breeze.

Posting articles with altered titles is not permitted,
But since Annanova is such a crappy, low-brow source, maybe the PTB will let you get away with it.

Well, then she should stop pulling stunts like asking parliament to outlaw jokes and staging violent protests at bars. I imagine people do look down on her for stunts like this. Knock it off, ya dumb blonde!

Ok, How do you know when a blonde has been at the computer?

There's white out all over the screen.

I've often wondered why jokes about pretty much any other racial trait are taboo but blond jokes are universally accepted.

Yes, I'm blond and though the majority of blond jokes are about women (I'm male), I can take a joke. Some of the jokes are quite funny.

But if us blonds can take a joke, why can't anyone else?

I'm surprised nobody has tried this here. After all, since the right not to be offended is guaranteed by the Constitution, don'tcha know, blond jokes would come under the category of hate crimes!

What do you call a brunnette between two blondes? An interpreter.
