When you can't get in the UN who do you call?
Apparently Ozzy Osbourne. No, I'm not kidding. Here's the story from the Globe and Mail:
Taiwan turns to Ozzy in bid for UN admission

Taipei -- After 14 failed attempts at joining the UN using media campaigns and presidential appeals, Taiwan is turning to a local goth-style rock band backed by Ozzy Osbourne in its quest for membership to the body.
The band, named ChthoniC, will travel to at least 80 cities in four countries, including Canada, supported in part by the government, which is providing pro-UN literature and a slogan-painted truck.
The story in The Scotsman is a touch more indepth.
I guess the theory is that if the UN won't conceed to Taiwan's demands then they'll get Ozzy to bite the heads off of all their puppies ...
