Official Announcement from An Taoiseach

An Taoiseach, Brian Cowen TD, today announced that his government is changing our emblem from a shamrock to a condom because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance.

A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.

Good timing, Biffo. Paddy's Day is only three weeks away...
