This is just so pathetic. There are a ton of middle-aged housewives freaking out because they can’t bake for Christmas, I know of some students who have been selling half-empty packets of butter over the internet for ridiculous amounts of money.
EDIT: Wanting to point out that while this is insanely hilarious, we do actually have a butter-shortage.
Haha… In the meantime (in South Africa), I have 4 friends who have had someone break into their house or steal their car in the last two weeks. The one was particularly bad and ended in a shoot out (one of the robbers was killed). Of course, the problems here are so massive, this wouldn’t even get close to making a local newspaper.
