Send them all home and see how long the debate goes on after that....You can dress them up but you can't take them anywhere.

Isn't there anyone in charge of these men to tell them that this was bad taste; of course if these are really men then why would they need someone to tell them.

negatively. Did it not occur to somebody that it might not be a
good idea to mock an entire continent before the world's largest
athletic competition that, by the way, <EM>happens to take place on that continent</EM>.
Were they not aware of an invention called "the Internet" that allows
pictures taken in Spain to be transmitted all over the world for the
eyes of everyone?</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0063D934-C144-450A-BEB4-945F913DEC10/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
