Pop Quiz: Which Is More Useless?
Wow, I’m so glad that the UN exists, despite the opinions of nay-sayers like the United States. Meanies!
If I were a citizen of a Third World country (sorry, sorry, I mean Lesser Developed County…), then I’d definitely want the UN’s help.
Unless I were Somalian, where UN workers are stealing food from starving children.
Or North Korean, where UN officials were aiding and abetting the Dear Leader’s counterfeit dollar scam.
Or (Democratic Republic) Congolese, where UN staff engaged in acts of pedophilia, rape and prostitution.
Or Rwandan, where the UN stood by and watched genocide that even eclipses the Holocaust in certain aspects.
Or Darfurian, where the UN, learning nothing from Rwanda, has still avoided doing anything substantive.
Or female/minority/non-Muslim in the Arab world, where freedom of speech is coming increasingly under threat from idiotic UN resolutions.
Or Zimbabwean, where the UN settles for proposing, but not actually passing, ever more worthless resolutions.
But the UN means well, after all (in a stiflingly conformist type of way), and it’s the thought that counts…

Corrected, thank you kireina, and you get extra points for using the word “anthropomorphized!”
