It is sorta westernly decadent when you think about it. And you absolutely can’t play well in a burqa. Seems Homeland Security officials at one point thought Stockton’s Golfland miniature golf park was at least a high asset when they put it on their watchlist of potential terrorist targets.
Via the San Jose Mercury News:
Mini-golfers, calm down and tee up — Emerald Hills Golfland is off the feds’ terrorist-target list.
Or is it?
Some time back, officials added the humble South San Jose theme park — “three acres, two mini golf courses, very challenging,” says Golfland’s VP Bob Kenney — to their National Asset Database. Local officials, figuring plenty of other Silicon Valley sites were richer targets, burst out laughing when they saw it.
Your Homeland Security dollars at work. Hmmm…
It’s no secret that true hardcore Islamo-fascits are threatened by the West’s penchant for large clown heads, tiny bridges and scaled-down windmills. They see it as another example of the ever-encroaching threat of decadent capitalism.
Oversized clown heads…I thought you were talking about Congress for a second there, Peter.
I’m not sure the Islamo-Facists are behind this. I think someone in Homeland Security was traumatized by a miniature golf course as a child and this is his/her way of getting revenge. Ever see “Happy Gilmore”?
