I thought of a game today. Picture those little warning labels or mini-instruction signs you see on products everywhere. Now think of one particular one and then link it to a country of your choice. Hey Presto... it's "Label the Nation". So J'accuse declares today a "Label the Nation" Day and readers are invited to submit their suggestions. I promise to make a post with all the ideas once we have a good number. Incidentally I am told that the Comments link does not always work in all browsers (Firefox for example - thanks Gary). While we are working on solving the problem I found a roundabout way of posting Comments. You basically link on the Post Title in the archives (Hot Off the Press) section - then you should be able to post comments. Also in a magnanimous move I will also start allowing anonymous comments again. Remember "Stupid is what stupid does".
So here are my ideas to set the ball rolling:
May Contain Traces of Nuts
United States of America
Keep Refrigerated
Iceland
This Side Up
Australia
No Animals Have Been Harmed in the Production of this Film
Malta
Parental Advisory: Explicit Content
Sweden
May Contain Small Parts
Luxembourg
Remember: Objects in the Mirror are actually Behind You
Greece
May Cause Drowsiness
Finland
Danger Explosives
North Korea
Handle With Care
China

North Korea – Come in we’re open
The US – Keep out of the reach of children (particularly if you’re Bush Sr)
Jamaica – Thank you for not smoking
Turkey – Sorry for any inconvenience
Brazil - Mind the Gap (the wealth one that is)
Britain - contains saturated fats
Gozo - Unsuitable for children
(See http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/19/foley.priest/index.html)
Ok. Gozo quip is accepted although it is not officially a country (yet it has all the makings of a great nation). For today we concentrate on Nations... next week we can try something else.
Thanks also to Pierre for this non-entry:
