"Brittany Battles Algae"

brittany algaeThis is terrible. She's been through so much. The drinking, the divorce, the paparazzi frenzy. Now, according to the BBC, she's swamped with a three-foot-thick blanket of noxious algae.

But, the shit killed a horse??!! That's terrible, too.

As Reuters reports: "Environmental groups have blamed intensive farming for a build-up of noxious algae that killed a horse and caused its rider to collapse on a beach in Brittany in western France earlier this month. Environmentalists have demanded action after Vincent Petit, a vet, had to be dragged unconscious from a meter-deep patch of rotting algae after his horse collapsed and died from fumes given off by the heaped up sludge."

    Hold on, I think I see what you did there…

    Does this mean the saying will now be changed to "It could kill a vet"?

    I'm sorry, perhaps there's something I'm missing here, but, who rides a horse through "a meter-deep patch of rotting algae"?

    Ah, France, where even the beaches need to bathe more regularly.
