MAYOR OF PARIS TO SWIM IN SEINE TO PROVE IT’S NOT POLLUTED

The mayor of Paris says that she will swim in the city’s River Seine next week, to show its suitability for the Olympics despite concerns that it is badly polluted. Olympic athletes are set to swim in the river during the triathlon and the marathon Olympic swimming event in August. Mayor Anne Hidalgo told France Inter radio that she would “dive in next week” and the water would be “depolluted, that’s for sure.” Tests last week for the first time showed acceptable bacteria levels, according to a statement by the mayor’s office.
* “Acceptable bacteria levels.” Kind of like how our hot dogs are allowed a certain amount of insect parts.
* Isn’t this how The Toxic Avenger started?
* She’s doing it next week, to give all the antibiotics she’s taking this week time to work.
* Still, it’s good she’s been saving up her sick days.
* And, yeah, she’s pretty hot, so there’ll be lots of cameras.
