Here is something I dont "get".

There have been a spate of self-immolations in North Africa since a young Tunisian man set himself on fire to protest at a lack of job opportunities last month.

Can someone please explain, in a way I can understand, how setting yourself on fire in protest to not having a job works?

Ah, Thich Quang Duck (Thích Quảng Đức) :p

Bearing in mind that Duckie did it as protest against the persecution of Buddhists, not for a job. The Burning Monk is legendary.

Gotcha.

Duckie is amazing though. Sat there and didn't budge until the moment he died. Creepy as hell, yet amazing. Brought a lot of international attention to the plight of Buddhists in Vietnam at the time, I believe.

Gervais had a lol about his name in one of his sketches :)

So what are you up to today, Omega-san? Work's not too much of a pain today, I hope?

Wiseman once said "Remember if you die a hero you are still dead..."

Not much.

First of all, hi guys! Wat sé die los kinnes?

Well, it actually solves the problem! After that you do not require a job anymore. Plus, you create more work for other people. I think everyone that's unemployed should do it!

Again, this pic has nothing to do with unemployment.

Too messy and what if they survive, then they will be a drain on society for years. I suicide booths or alternatively self-immolation booths that ensure its done properly....

Well let's say that it's a "target of opputunity". I don't just go stand outside every 5 minutes :D I'm out of the office most of the time too. I know, I know- this hasn't been the busiest time of the year so far, but ya- I'm sure you get what I'm saying.
