bizarro playground

On a normal weekday afternoon, some "city workers" are driving heavy machinery around in a neighbourhood playground where children are playing.

My first reaction was, "This would seem perfectly normal, if there were not already two terror attacks in the past year and a half involving 'city workers' going postal while driving heavy machinery in public places."

I mean, they plowed into buses, flipped cars over, etc. These were called terrorist attacks.

On the other hand, if we most accept our fellow human beings as being basically decent folk, maybe the normal thing to do is to let our children play in the same place that bulldozers are zipping around.

But then, the litigious American side of me shrieked, no way! This is crazy!

I could be wrong. What do you think?

We left right after I snapped a couple of pictures.


This sign says that if you see someone cloaked in a black fedora and trenchcoat, he's a spy, and is not allowed in the playground. Alternatively, he's a cast member of of the "Drama in the Park" summer series.

Under that: if you bring your gigantic dog into the park and he jumps on children as they shriek in horror, and you insult them by shouting, "Why are you afraid? Poopie can't possibly hurt anyone", residents have the right to make Poopie ownerless.

Take a look at this URL. (A website for a playground: isn't that cool? We're one step closer to getting everything interconnected! Before you know it, your children will have a chip in their head, and you can just watch them play on Google Earth 4D.)



Now compare it with this alternative URL.



Which is apparently for the version of the site run by Al-Aqsa.
