Just found this on another forum. Them Swedes are right mad:

Every Christmas since 1966, the Swedish town of Gavle has played host to one (or sometimes two) enormous commemorative straw goats. Almost every year, someone tries to burn it down, and usually they succeed. Only four people have ever been apprehended for arson attacks on the goat, which have become increasingly determined and sophisticated (see DoS attacks on security cameras, attempts to remove the goat by helicopter). Such is the feeling of inevitability that English bookmakers now take bets on the goat's fate, offering about 2/1 for the goat to make it to January 1st.

Happy goat.



Sad goat.

Why do I find this so funny?

I'm gonna go with it being torched.

Poor goat.

I'd go with torched as well, although it appears to have been rammed by a car, kicked to pieces, damaged by fireworks, shot with a flaming arrow, fireproofed (which failed, repeatedly!)

That wikipedia article is brilliant "1967 Nothing happened"...
