Barroso's horror show

PARRENTAL ADVICE:

Children under the age of 16 should not look at these photos of the next European Commission!


PS.: On should think there are more professional tasteful people working at the European Commission.

Update: And we haven't spoken about the copyright of these photos yet...!


Update 2: It really looks like some intern in the Commission used copy-paste last Friday, violating copyright rules or using Wikipedia without checking. A supranational organisation representing 500 million citizens should be able to get official photos and official CVs directly from nominated candidates instead of creating such an embarrassing mistake.

It is very nice though, that they have appointed John Cleese as Vice-President.

I thought of Lukashenko when I first saw the picture but I found these (my own thoughts) inappropriate.

So thanks for bringing up Cleese... :-D

But isn't it self evident? The concours doesn't actually recruit the people who know anything useful, so that's why this sort of mess happens.

it has been said that it is the official candidates that create the Wikipedia pages in some cases so...

... (I don't know what to say, Lino. :-D)
