This is funny :)

I found this on performancecar.co.nz. the forum has died a little bit, but here is something cool..

>>>*There is an 'Old Version' and a 'Modern Version'
.... Two Different
>>>Versions! ** **Two Different Morals!
>>>
>>>OLD VERSION:
>>>
>>>The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building
his
>>>house and laying up supplies for the winter.
>>>
>>>The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and
plays
>>>the summer
away.
>>>
>>>Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
>>>
>>>The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
>>>
>>>MORAL OF THE STORY:
>>>
>>>Be responsible for yourself!
>>>
>>>-------------------------------------------
>>>
>>>MODERN VERSION:
>>>
>>>The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building
his
>>>house and laying up supplies for the winter.
>>>
>>>The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and
plays
>>>the summer away.
>>>
>>>Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and
>>>demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well
fed
>>>while others are cold and
starving.
>>>
>>>TV1, TV3 and Maori TV show up to provide pictures of the shivering
>>>grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with
a
>>>table filled with food. New Zealand is stunned by the sharp
contrast.
>>>
>>>How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor
grasshopper
>>>is allowed to suffer so?
>>>
>>>Kermit the Frog appears on Good Morning with the grasshopper, and
>>>everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being
Green.'
>>>
>>>Sue Bradford stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house
where
>>>the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall
overcome.'
>>>Gordon Copeland then has the group kneel down to pray to God for
the
>>>grasshopper's sake.
>>>
>>>Michael Cullen
exclaims in an interview with John Campbell that the
ant
>>>has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for
an
>>>immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share as the
ant
>>>is too much of a "Rich Prick."
>>>
>>>Finally, the Labour Party drafts the Economic Equity &
Anti-Grasshopper
>>>Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
>>>
>>>The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of
green
>>>bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his
home is
>>>confiscated by the government.
>>>
>>>Winston gets his old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a
>>>defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a
panel of
>>>judges that Helen appointed from a list of single-parent
welfare
>>>recipients.
>>>
>>>The ant loses the case.
>>>
>>>The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits
of
>>>the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just
happens
>>>to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he
doesn't
>>>maintain it.
>>>
>>>The ant has disappeared in the snow.
>>>
>>>The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the
house,
>>>now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the
once
>>>peaceful neighbourhood.
>>>
>>>MORAL OF THE STORY:
>>>
>>>Be VERY careful how you vote in 2008!!
