Extremadura government to pay for wanking workshops

Trebots @ Tuesday November 10th 2009 16:48

We’re in for a long recession: if the Extremadura PSOE says that pleasure is in your hands (via PD), then presumably they know that Spaniards aren’t going to be able to afford prostitutes for the foreseeable future. There’s been the predictable outcry from Catalan nationalists who believe they are subsidising Extremaduran tosspots and other spendthrift silliness, all of which is clearly distinct from this, or this, or this.

    The Generality’s style guide (somewhere) says that “Generalidad” is the correct usage in Spanish, hence the 265,000 ghits for it on their site.

    Apparently the materials may have been absurd, but the idea of a wanking campaign can’t be adduced from them. What a shame.
