The King of Sweden has called for a ban on baths to help save the environment. King Carl XVI Gustaf, who once had a reputation as a lothario and is now a staunch environmentalist, said he realised how much water and energy they used when he was recently staying somewhere without a shower. The 69-year-old âgreen kingâ told Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet: âIt hit me how much water and energy it used. âI thought âI canât believe Iâm having to do thisâ. I felt quite ashamed.â Apparently in jest, he added: âWe should ban all baths.â The Swedish head of state said he now drives an eco-friendly hybrid car, turning around his lifelong reputation as a âpetrolheadâ. âWhen I drive into town, itâs on electricity,â he said. Much like the Prince Charlesâs overhaul of Highgrove House with âeco toiletsâ, the Swedish kingâs residence has been made greener with environmentally-friendly heating and low-energy lightbulbs.

An kingly words on muslims raping Swedish women?
Inbreeding is really sad......................
You beat me to it! Leave it to an addle-brained liberal to focus on the trivial while a far more obvious and dire problem is all around him.
I think when you’re speaking as royalty, your supposed to spell it “bahhhths” instead of the more vulgar “baths.”
Can we just ban Sweden? Maybe we can make an exception for the blonde bikini girls, but everyone else there needs to live in the rubber room.
Most of the muzzies I’ve known don’t seem to bathe very much so I am sure this won’t offend them.
Hypocrite.
Wow. Another mad monarch moment. This guy was already sounding flaky, but this is what he comes up with while Sweden is being raped by invaders?
While his people are being slaughtered and raped, this “Queen” calls for a ban on baths.
Unbelievable!
Socialist...... he’s a little stinker!
Hugo Chavez called for people to pee in the shower.
So, the King of Sweden is going to take a bath in the river? or should we avoid being close to him? :)
This guy needs to get a room with Prince Charles. They could share a shower.

Madonna tells us she’s to doing it at the David Letterman show.

My how far the Vikings have fallen
How about a ban on towelheads? they pollute the country. And I don’t accept the concept of monarchy - inherited right to rule.
I thought envirodementalists were into banning showers because they actually used more water than baths - and bathing no more than once a week.
Maybe I could talk some beautiful Swedish blonde into coming home with me by offering her a bath. lol
