The Public Eye awards are out...
.
Yes, while the heavy boots and sharp stilettoes of the rich and connected booze and schmooze among the snow and Swissness of Davos..secure in the knowledge that all the thousands of protestors will not be allowed under the same sky ...the Public Eye awards are being handed out to those companies that have the hideous dishonour of being the most irresponsible and damaging entities around..Oh, and the guy with the awsome glasses is Patrick Frey the presenter of the awards and a Swiss author and comedian..indeed.
