An unhappy Greek man has made a Random Austerity Measure Generator
A disgruntled Greek man has had enough of the seemingly arbitrary austerity measures his people are facing - so he's decided to help the Eurozone out with some policy decisions.
Enter the Random Austerity Measure Generator, which takes the hassle out of extreme decisions. After all, there are more important issues out there.
With the click of a button, you too can be an authoritative continental economist, with nuggets of financial wisdom for Europe's troubled nations.
"Please wait while we seem serious and caring," reads one of the cheerful messages while it pulls a random austerity measure out of its virtual hat.
"Varoufakis needs to stay standed up for 51 hours for no reason and Greece will have pensions for this month," is a fine example, reminiscent of the former Finance Minister's actual requirements during the mammoth negotiations in recent weeks.
The generator also seems to have a dislike for Zoi Konstantopoulou, Speaker of the Parliament, suggesting she be tortured with listening to Justin Bieber, or drape herself in the German flag in exchange for concessions.
The site is registered to a George Papanikolaou from Arta, in Greece, and the site is made "just for fun", according to the colophon.
"Help Greek people overcome crisis by enjoying a nice coffee at the Greek islands!" it urges.
Other troubled European nations make an appearance, like Portugal, Spain, and Italy, though the random generator doesn't seem to have much to say on Ireland.
But sure, that's because everything's fine here, as our politicians keep telling us. Coffee on the Greek islands it is.
