Edvard Hund

I saw a few of these up this morning, and after a quick search, it seems like he's running nationally.



He has my vote. Yellow is the most trustworthy colour for a tie. Everyone knows that.

That made my day!

Saw one of the posters this morning just before Blackrock, cheered me up no end!

Tried to show another one of the posters along the Western Distributor Road to my two dogs - sadly they have no interest in politics

I feel like I'm missing out on a joke that everyone else gets...

Mr_A

Not sure about this candidate.

I suspect he may be barking mad.

Mrs OBumble

He's got a few posters out in Ballybrit, too. Spotted this one on Friday:

It's the hairdo does it for me.

If you email him, he'll send you a detailed manifesto. It's hilarious.

I wonder is it really just for fun or if there'll be some big advertising reveal.

I agree Mr. A. He could be a bit woof around the edges.

I think you meant ruff.:cool:

Mr_A

Indeed. I think it's all too likely his time in office could be dogged by controversy.

Edvard Hund....hmm sounds foreign. Is he perhaps a German shepherd?

A brief history that explains my mission. …….

My sister gave birth in the street to five lovely pups this time last year. She got done for littering in public, which just wasn’t fair, and probably got me started in politics – I just felt I had to do something about this. Stand on my own four feet for what is right! Granted, my sister is a thoroughbred bitch, but this wasn’t on. Those little pups turned 7 last week; they’ll be 10 in August, and they deserve better. Politics is a dog eat dog business and people say I’m barking mad to get involved, but I’ve been led around by people for too long- The dogs in the street will tell you that!

My manifesto includes the following:

- more transparent pricing policy on pet foods in supermarket multiples. Cat food consistently gets better shelf coverage and better pricing. This makes cat ownership more attractive and discriminates against dogs (and other consumers of dog food).


- an end to the portrayal of dogs as stupid, hungry layabouts on TV and elsewhere. Scooby-doo is a disgrace; he sold out the good name of the noble Great Dane for some snacks and a bit of fame. If elected, I will seek to redress this perception of dogs through better, more balanced cartoons.


- better screening of those seeking to study veterinary medicine. Any applicant with fingers larger than a standard Denny sausage will be barred from training or practising as a vet. As a transitional measure, existing practising vets with large fingers will be confined to examining the front end of all small animals (except cats).


- an end to the “pooper-scoope”r policy. Dogs have a right to poop where they wish without fear of reprisal. I am supported in this by numerous ‘shoe-cleaner’ product manufacturers who have seen their business decline in recent years due to a lack of good quality, well camouflaged dog **** in the streets.


- likewise, with regard to “arse-sniffing”; it’s part of our culture and an entitlement. I would like to extend the sniffing policy to cover the sniffing of arses of all species.


- justice for my cousin Spotty Hund who was kicked in the arse at the back of a pub by a drunk who though he was a one-eyed monster walking backwards. Spotty developed complications as a result, including a half a haemorrhoid – which isn’t a whole pile – and now he looks like a bulldog when he tries to move his bowel.


- registration of the “Gurrier Terrier” (TM) as a recognised pedigree breed with the Irish Kennel Club (Gadharchumann na hEireann). http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gurrier


- other polices in time. I find typing difficult; my paw is killing me……

Mr_A

Some of those policies are unlikely to be popular. Could see Edvard hounded from office.

inisboffin

Mutt-ton Island is obviously high on the agenda for policy changes

Conspiracy theory: the dog poster replaced the spaceship poster outside the Huntsman and iirc there seemed to be no gap between them (one came down and the other immediately went up).

Same person?

I was thinking the same. But Hund appeared in Dublin first.

Did anyone phone Stephen, by the way?

More Hund going up in Parkmore today. I think I'm being followed... :pac:
