how fucking stupid?

A few weeks ago I noticed West Sussex County Council had, as many other councils have, decorated a roundabout. They'd put some green sheep on it. I was surprised the first time I saw them because for the last decade that roundabout has been laid to grass with no ornamentation at all.



I quite liked them. Then a few days later this happened



According to the Argus this is because
Panicked motorists who thought the bright green sheep were real had complained to West Sussex County Council.
Thank you so much you complete fucktards. If you're that thick that you can't tell the difference between plastic sheep and real ones then you should hand in your driving license and stick to walking.

**UPDATE 18th Dec 2011**

The sheep have been completely removed.

I don't get it.

You're driving along and see a green sheep. Either it's a real sheep died green, no harm done, keep driving. Or it's a model sheep that's been put there on purpose, keep driving.

What possesses people to ring up the council to complain?

"dyed" not "died", obviously.

Unless of course it had turned green because it had died.

Are they real sheep covered in mint sauce?

Oh, yes! Spotted that one a few days ago, and the 'Mail' picked it up too.

They soon sprouted reindeer antlers... ;)

It's about 2 mins drive from where I used to live (I'll be passing them this evening to collect the kids) .... and the barriers are more distracting than the sheep .... not an improvement

In line with Jeremy Clarkson’s suggestion that public sector strikers be shot, couldn’t those who complain about the sheep also be shot? That would have the effect of raising the average I.Q. of Brits – something that is sorely needed. After all, Germans refer to us (quite rightly) as “the stupid people who live on the island”.
