you can’t believe it

The SVP = Schweizer Volkspartei (Swiss nation party) launched a game on their election topics.

First topic is not to give possibility for “Secondos” (People with one parent foreign one part Swiss) to get the Swiss passport. Look at the nicely drawn black and yellow hands which want to grab the passports.

Second is about kicking out criminal foreigners, their election propagande poster was about black sheeps being kicket out by a white sheep.

Third topic is about the European Nation and Swiss financial habits. In the game they took a Swiss national hero as model. You need to shoot European hats with a crossbow.

The last game is like pacman collecting speed traps, because there are trials to make changes to speed limits and speed traps.

Wernli a Swiss cookies company put a new product on the market. I bought them some days ago, yesterday(15.10.) there was a small article in the city news 20min. For my taste the cookies aren’t very special, a bit tartly taste.

The Swiss School of Art and Design offering a post-graduate master studies on gender and cultural design.
