In Shakespeare's time, actors were considered low people, kin to cutpurses and other thieves. Probably because actors basically LIE for a living. Maybe some of that sentiment still plays in Europe?

Man eats dog in protest
msnbc.msn.com

LONDON - A British artist has eaten chunks of a corgi dog, the breed favored by Queen Elizabeth II, live on radio to protest the royal family's treatment of animals.

Mark McGowan, 37, said he ate "about three bites" of the dog meat, cooked with apples, onions and seasoning, to highlight what he called Prince Philip's mistreatment of a fox during a hunt by the queen's husband in January.

"It was pretty disgusting," McGowan said of the meal, which he ate while appearing on a London radio station Tuesday. Yoko Ono, another guest on the show, also tried the meat.

That, I imagined, was only the tip of the iceburg. Many core values that we Americans take for granted, but would be considered strange by European standards.

Its strange to them not because an actor could not be Prime Minister but that an actor would not be well qualified for the job. And its true.
