Today I Will Adopt A Child – Sheffield

Today I Will Adopt A Child – Sheffield :: Much to the dismay of everybody around me I randomly stop and take pictures of things I see during my day to post on twitter. I decided that seeing as not everybody follows me I would post some of the funnier things on the site, just a quick little life update type article which adds a degree of humour to the reviews and endless droning.

Over the past few weeks I have been noticing countless numbers of signs that appear in my home city – Sheffield; which is renowned for not only being the city with the most trees per person in Europe but is also a self proclaimed “haven for asylum seekers”. Probably because everybody else who actually lives here knows what a complete shit-hole the place is. Nevertheless I continue to digress (that was totally intentional… awesome).

Of all the countless things Sheffield City Council could spend their vast fortunes of my hard earned money on they have decided that it would be in the best interests of the electorate to display posters which advertise where you can adopt children! I’m not entirely sure what they are advertising as the sign leaves far too much to the imagination as you can see below. My guess is that they are trying to subliminally convey the picture of the “nuclear family”, much like the Nazi state.

Yes this picture was took at 2:30pm. Beautiful weather is one of the many attractions to those permenant holiday makers.

This wouldn’t normally bother me but the more I think about it the more it does. If we disregard the obvious fact that NOT A SINGLE PERSON on the planet decides to adopt a child because they saw a poster saying so (Madonna is not a person) we get to an even deeper problem. Money. Sheffield is pretty much falling to pieces. I hate to say it but even a communist government would do a better job than the current ones and yet what do they spend thousands of pounds doing? Making posters for adoption!

I just find it hard (that’s what she… oh never mind) and slightly amusing to imagine a scenario where you are telling your kids on how they were “conceived” or “chosen” and the whole story would be summarised by. “Well kids… *awkward silence*… we chose you because a sign told us too”. If you are honestly thinking of adoption then surely you would go out of the way and do the research yourself? It is not something which just springs to mind like the idea of mixing two brands of cereal together to form honey puffs. I’m running out of steam with this though and you see my point. I simply find the whole thing quite bewildering.
