Gordon Brown and his fellow world leaders have sparked outrage after it was disclosed they enjoyed a six-course lunch followed by an eight-course dinner at the G8 summit where the global food crisis tops the agenda.

The Prime Minister was served 24 different dishes during his first day at the summit – just hours after urging the world to reduce the "unnecessary demand" for food and calling on British families to cut back on their wasteful use of food.

Mr Brown and his wife Sarah were among 15 guests at the "blessings of the earth and the sea social dinner".

The dinner consisted of 18 dishes in eight courses including caviar, smoked salmon, Kyoto beef and a "G8 fantasy dessert".
The news is just like reading the Onion, this is amazing.

The world's elite dined extravagantly. In other news, the sky is blue, water is wet, and my testicles are still frightening to the elderly.

Who is to say they weren't given triscuits and grey poupon during the day talks?

I think more appropriate other news would be that the congressional committee on race relations held their summit on a slave boat with a burning cross at the maidenhead.

I still don't really see the irony.

I've gladly espoused the dangers of crack use while railing a line of blow the size of a whale penis. The difference is that crack is the realm of POOR people, whereas I had to hold down a respectable job to even afford MY luxury. I'm entitled as fvck.
