Norwegians to Scour Fjords for Ice Cream - [01/13/03]
In a tasty political strategy Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik announced Norway would be combing their scenic fjords for ice cream. It is hotly disputed who has the rights to the ice cream rich fjords. Both Norway and their northern neighbor Candyland claim rights to the property. Queen Frostine opposes Norway's plan, citing Candylanders historic ties to the fjords. However, rebel groups are currently forming a stronghold in the Peppermint Stick Forest, calling to question if Frostine will remain in power.
The fjords are thought to contain about ten-thousand tons of Rum Raisin, four to five-thousand tons of Butter Pecan and one-thousand tons of Bubble Gum ice cream. Norway has already begun building cites to store the frozen treat, and is reportedly receiving technology from Ben and Jerry in exchange for the opportunity to buy ice cream at a reduced price.
Environmentalists are speaking out against this move. Glerb Bjorn of Norwegian Nature Front is worried about the possible impact this could have on the ecosystem, "The Swedish Fish live off of the ice cream in those fjords. Without it they will die. Swedish Fish are also a large part of the Gummi Bear's diet, who won't be able to survive solely on chocolate Jesuses." Bondevik disagrees, claiming that they only plan to comb a relatively small portion of the fjords. (originally posted by Jitters, 10/22/02)
