Mr. Potato Head

Now here's a chant you probably won't hear at any American political rallies:

The Government is handing out 400,000 tonnes of free spuds in rural towns. It says that it is merely distributing the surplus from a bumper crop, but Mr Ahmadinejad’s opponents accuse it of bribing the poor. “Death to potatoes,” they chant at rallies.

Well, I guess it's a step up from "Death to America" or "Death to Israel." If they can take out their frustration on something like potatoes, I think we can all rest a little easier.
