Gutter humor

It's not exactly Sudan's biggest problem, but the government there should think of getting new copy editors. On the occasion of the fifth Sudan Population and Housing Census:

Yet in some ways it works, doesn't it?

Lulz. But what's the second Arabic word after "Kul" at the bottom...

Far be it from me to suggest that you people are taking this all to frivolously but, well, you are. In fact, I find your attitude toward this pretty offensive. While you people wile away your middle class lives laughing at these sorts of things, there are people in Sudan who are concerned with real problems. Problems like where they're going to find enough cunters to cover the country. Problem like whether there are enough potential cunters in Sudan, or whether their going to have to go to some Paris-based NGO to bring in outside cunters. Even once they have enough cunters and the cunting can begin, then there's the problem of what to do with the people who have been cunted. How will they avoid double-cunting some people, or failing to cunt others? And then, what do they do with the final cunt? That's going to be a pretty big cunt. Big enough that it's going to require careful handling. How will they stop politicians fiddling with the cunt? How, in a country like Sudan, do you ensure a clean cunt?

I don't want to sound self-righteous and preachy here, but when you have a cunt like this, you don't want to fuck it up.
