Thought I'd let you know that now Pentax got themselves a representative in politics. Since a couple of weeks back I am running for a seat in the local parliament of Aland (the Aland Islands) as well as for a seat in the city council of my home town Mariehamn. While I'm usually carrying my MZ5 across my shoulder and sometimes am referred to as "the man with a camera" (for instance in a local radio guest show), Pentax will at least get some exposure on this local scene. This made me wonder if there is/has been any other known connections between Pentax and politics elsewhere in the world and time. Any other PDML:er got or running for a seat in a local or national assembly?
This will of course also mean a break up of the established "ban" on politics as an accepted subject matter. So sorry guys, but from now on politics is a legitimate subject matter on this list too. Free the peoples of the world!! with a Pentax in your hand. Just knock them tyrants on the head with it. :-) Lasse
