SORRY SAP! I recognize that laughing apparently Spanish speaking loon!

He's a Spanish comedian nicknamed "El Risitas" ("The Giggles").

In June 2007, he appeared on Jesús Quintero's show Ratones Coloraos (Colour Mice) and described an incident when he worked as a dishwasher. He describes leaving some paella pans (paelleras) at night in the ocean to soak and clean, and when in the morning he returned to retrieve the pans, they had washed out to sea with the tide. He frequently interrupts the story with his trademark laugh. The original video was uploaded to YouTube on June 25, 2007 and received over a million views.

Since then, it's become popular to put English subtitles over his interview to make it appear as though he's talking about something else, usually a current event.

Haven't heard that one yet. Are they perhaps making a supply of rotten eggs to throw at politicians when they find out how much freedom we just lost for no good reason?






OH BOO HOO!


And what freedom did YOU LOOSE?


The freedom to share a VIRULENT PESTILENCE with old folks is not much of a right!


Yes- it is DIFFICULT to deal with social distancing and related CRAP!

But recall that LIE-berals SNEERED at people - calling them RACISTS for advocating that travellers be quarantined!


If LIE-berals had closed the border at the same time as Australia - we could have saved BIG BUCKS AND MANY LIVES!


Too bad LIE-berals were too busy VIRTUE SIGNALING AS USUAL to bother protecting us!


And yes the BIG BAIL OUT is generating HUGE DEBTS THAT WILL HURT US FOR A LONG TIME!


But the alternative - meaning doing NOTHING is even WORSE!



As proof - I suggest you read the old book about The Great Depression - written by Pierre Berton!


It is depressing as hell but it is informative about the COST of not helping out!


Your right to go to the park IS TRIVIAL compared to MY RIGHT not to be infected with a NASTY VIRUS!

Kimberly-Clark Corp. said on Wednesday it would raise prices for a majority of its products, including tissues and diapers, sold in the United States and Canada to offset rising commodity costs.

The company makes several pulp-based products such as Cottonelle toilet paper, Kleenex facial tissue and Kotex feminine hygiene products, and has seen a surge in demand for the products during the pandemic, especially lockdowns, that drove consumers to clean out shelves in supermarkets.


Kimberly Clark said the price increases, in the mid-to-high single digits, will be effective in late June and impact the company’s baby and child care, adult care and Scott bathroom tissue businesses.

Most consumer product companies have been pressured by recent increases in cost of raw materials such as pulp, recycled fiber and resins, even as hygiene and cleaning products remain in demand despite easing of coronavirus-related restrictions.
