May 4, 2003 -- A crazed mob of diplomats angry at being made to wait for lunch because of striking restaurant workers rioted in U.N. cafeterias Friday and looted them of thousands of dollars in food, booze and silverware.

"It was chaos, wild, something out of a war scene," an executive from the company taking over food services for the United Nations told Time magazine. "They took everything."

That is how you act when you are "entitled". I hope this gets wide exposure.

[MEG33]

Hope they have cameras and take the names of those who decried the looting in Iraq.

Gives new meaning to the word Kleptocracy. My sixth grade class had more discipline than this bunch. And they think they can control the world. Ah Ha.

[microgood]

ROTFL...Live from the UN, looting the cafeterias in progress.

[MEG33]

Wouldn't it be fun!

[Russell Scott]

Order was restored when the $7.00 an hour food service workers came in to make sure the $300,000 a year diplomats would stay in their cribs.

Lol, I thought this was an Onion original.

I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
Shining through
Don't be afraid
To let them show
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

You really can't make this stuff up, can you?

I thought for sure this had to be Onion satire until I realized it was the wrong time of the week for it.

You really can't make this stuff up, can you?

I know what you mean. I would love to see Kofi Annan carrying out stacks of sandwiches and beers from the cafeteria. I wonder if they have gift shops (hint to StrangeCosmos).

From the UN...this doesnt surprise me

[gulfcoast6]

Ahhhh, the actions of the so called 'leaders of this world', inpressive wouldn't you say?

[MEG33]

They've been looting for years.

[TomGuy]

Another report of this was reported last nite.

I posted then:

"If this were an SNL skit, it would be incredulous.

Truth is stranger than fiction."

[George W. Bush]

Thank you, God.

This needs to spread far and wide about this corrupt org of anti US rats and theives.
