Do I laugh or cry

Throughout the day (until someone went postal in the US) the most popular stories on the BBC news website have been one about a man having to marry a goat after being caught in flagrante, one about exploding lavatories in Japan and hovering around in third place either Richard Gere kissing somebody and all of India getting upset¹ or a study that says we prefer chocolate to sex.

I believe a lot can be inferred about the heath of the nation from that.


¹ Good job that there were no hamsters present or else they really would have something to get upset about!
