"I know it makes sense. You know it makes sense. Make it so."
The only thing that puzzles me about this petition is that the EPetitions: Facts, figures and progress page says quite clearly
"Initially we accepted humorous petitions, on the grounds that they did no harm and were often funny. However, particularly after the site received publicity in the media, we found that more and more time was being taken up considering borderline cases where supposedly humorous petitions risked being seen as offensive or in bad taste. Some users also contacted us to complain about silly petitions undermining the serious purpose of the site.
We decided it was impossible to justify this use of Civil Service time, or to come up with clear guidelines as to what amounts to good or bad taste. Reluctantly therefore we have decided no longer to accept petitions which are obviously intended as jokes."
Does that mean that the Civil Service moderator(s) think this was serious? If so - EEEK!
