No, I’m not making this up. Via FARK.
Zimbabwe’s colour TV may also ban pink, purple, white and green By John Scott "Red is just the start," said Solly Solinga, spokesperson for Zimbabwean Television, when I phoned him about the decision to ban that colour from the country’s TV screens because it symbolised the opposition Movement for Democratic Change party. "We have other colours in mind, too." | |

#3 Recall in the 1960s movie, Bananas, where the dictator, a not so subtle immitation of Fidel Castro immediately ordered all citizens to wear their underwear on the ouside of their pants, so the state could watch what was going on. Bad Bob; he has the video! Look out Zimbabweans. |

#1 What about blue? That's the same color as the sky of the Colonizing Powers(TM)! And don't get started on the blue in the flags . . . I find this absolutely hilarious. And I'm actually surprised the Muslims haven't tried this yet, declaring certain colors unIslamic and issuing fatwas calling for the destruction of any object of those shades. The ignorance of science, logic, and reality is mind-boggling. It would be sad if it wasn't on such a big scale. |
