Food crisis in Greece! People blame bloated goverment.
Suspended
Hundreds march in the streets today as the food shortages continue, citizens demand aid from the government as the international community looks on in indifference.
"This is unforgivable!" a single mother of three shouts as she attempts to keep her crying children in check, "It's costing me more than my daily wages just to feed my children, lately I've had to give up my portions just so my children will not go hungry."
Several students carry picket signs with phases like "Feed the hungry! Save the needy! How can you let our children starve?" One of them, a 22-year-old political science major scowls and spits on the ground when the government is mentioned.
"Those UGP dogs care not for our suffering! What kind of world is this where we have to choose between housing and food? They don't give a damn about the common man, only lining their pockets with gold and stuffing their faces on food that should be on the open market!"
The UGP refused an interview and in a written response claimed the crisis was being overblown and food shortages are not as critical as they appear to be. This reporter was surprised to find a large marinara stain that looked to be from a meatball sub on the edge of the page. When asked further about this odd splotch in a later phone call, the government official who sent the letter belched loudly and shouted several unprintable expletives.
Further investigation revealed the government official messily eating a large meatball sub in his private garden, when he spotted the reporter he called his personal guards and fled into his home.

Well, you bought our food, we have a chance of starving if you buy our food at low prices so we make it so high you can\'t afford it and we can

I was there! I walked with those people! It was magical, everyone was singing.. or well, some people and me were singing.. well, okay I was the only one singing. But it was magical!
Your bawdy lyrics did much to empower the marching masses! Bravo compatriot! Take the news to the streets! Stand up for your right to eat! Your right to live and love and laugh jubilantly in the face of adversity! Do not settle for mediocrity and corruption from our elected officials! Vote them out of office!
The Weekly Daily is the voice of the common man, and the common man hungers to be heard, just as he hungers to fill his belly!
At the time I thought it was a rave actually, but I\'m against the witch king as much as the rest of you!!
here here! down with these false strongmen who whisper sweet nothings in greece\'s ear only to stab our dear country in its back! shame on the government for their corruption and favoritism, starving their own people.
Down with the current government whoever they are!!!
