Your World can be very funny. And even though it is not nice to laugh at the distress of others, we defy you to stifle a guffaw as this customer of a TV store in Cornwall, England turns into a one-man wrecking crew while looking at the television sets. He does about £5,000 ($8,026) damage in less than five seconds. The poor fellow was crouching down looking at televisions in the St Austell branch of HBH Woolacotts, when he lost his balance, beginning a disastrous sequence of tumbling televisions. A curved Samsung and two Panasonic TVs were among the casualties. In the Netherlands, that liberal and easy-going land is about to see the trial of a right-wing politician for saying the country needs fewer Moroccans. Such is the state of Europe in 2016. And in Thailand, the much-loved late King Bhumibol Adulyadej has been mourned during a Buddhist ceremonial washing of the deceased’s body. The king’s heir, Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn participated. He is said by some Thai to be a playboy. They ask if he can be king. That’s your world on this Friday.
