On Little Mishaps

This is the skyline of the lovely city of Düsseldorf. Thousands of people were coming to see a red coloured river Rhine as part of the "Bambi" celebrities event. If you compare the view above (click to enlarge) with the expected one you might notice that it was less red than announced. Cynics may consider this a typical example of blatancy and bigheadedness so often to be found in our really lovely city, but all in all this little mishap has several advantages:

  • Tomorrow they will try again; even more people will crowd the city and drink some beer.
  • If they will also fail tomorrow, this doesn't matter: a red coloured river Rhine would just be called "biggest red light district of the area".
  • If they will also fail tomorrow, this doesn't matter: a red coloured river Rhine would one made think that contents of this infamous Iranian "blood fountain" would have been poured into the Rhine.
  • If they will also fail tomorrow, this doesn't matter: a red coloured river Rhine will make people think that herds of white sharks are marauding through the floods of our lovely river.

The lovely city of Düsseldorf thanks for your interest up to now! Tom Hanks and other Hollywood celebs are invited to be part of the "Bambi" party. Perhaps they'll say: "Amazing!", perhaps they won't note at all. More about this tomorrow. Nothing to be seen here, please go on!
