Politics in a gumball machine
Two brothers, Emil eight eyars old and Teddy, five years old; inserted a couple of coins in to a gumballmachine/toymachine, And got out one "my little pony" key- ring and a button with the message "Fuck Bush".
- How do you explain to a five year old?- The boys father Micke Johansson wonders. He thinks it is "somewhat unapropriate" to have political propaganda in machines aimed at chidren.
Micke tells that his son wanted to put on the button, forcing him to hold a short lesson in society politics for his son, and explain that it was not approriate.
The machine is placed at Lindberghallen in Djurås, and is owned by Lundins Automatservice in Eskilstuna.
The president of the company says:
"I concure with the fathers meaning that political propaganda is not approriate in toymachines aimed at young children, and says that he is sorry for what happened.
The company that sells 100 of thousands of toys and chewinggums every year, buys mixes of toys from a grossist and during the mid part of last year got a shipment of pins that is not in range with our company policy. We tried to get rid of them, but unfortunatly we apparently did'nt succed", says Niklas Lundin and ads that the company of course will compensate the family if needed.

Det var väl ett evinnerligt tjat om en ren olyckshändelse, är detta något att ta upp plats på nätet om?
