Referendum in Germany Bans Broccoli & Nap Time

Not confining itself to cow farts, Germany demonstrates that it has gone completely off the deep end by putting a bill before Parliament that would lower the voting age to birth.

There is a certain logic to this. If you're going to treat the voters like infants, then why not...

    Although they were only shooting for the vote for 15 year olds then, it wasn't until the end of the picture that it came around to bite them on the backside.
