Ludwig Wittgenstein – renowned philosopher; metaphysical sparring partner of Karl Popper.
Although they may have had various epistemological disagreements, Wittgenstein stands 100% behind Karl Popper on the issue of the banning of poppers. Speaking outside the Shadow Lounge in London's Soho, Wittgenstein stated:
“Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental. And poppers fucking rock. I, for one, do not plan to start taking cocaine or heroin: they are much more expensive than poppers and roughly 1 million times more likely to kill you. Why spend £50 on a gram of cocaine with no cocaine in it, when I could – for a steal, at just £5 a bottle – give myself a dizzying poppers-induced headrush with none of the stress of having to locate a credit card or a DVD case or a piece of kitchen roll for when your nose starts bleeding from all the Persil you've just shoved up it?”
A Unilever spokesperson said that they, as a socially responsible global conglomerate, did not advocate shoving persil anywhere other than into your washing machine.
Karl Popper – renowned philosopher and the invent0r of poppers.
A notorious hedonist and well known bon vivant of the London gay club scene, after a day's lecturing at the LSE, Popper invariably heads off to Soho for night of debauchery and illicit sex. As the inventor of poppers, he was more dismayed than most to hear of their forthcoming ban under a new government crackdown on perceived licentiousness, filth and moral depravity sweeping the nation.
Commenting on the ban, Popper observed: “Poppers bring all the fun to the party! Who hasn't had a poppers-induced dance coma to the sound of 'I Feel Love'? Our rights are slowly being taken away one at a time. How will all gay virgins take anal without pain now? How are we going to encourage tops to swap to bottoms? Gay sex will become vanilla and boring.”
“I invented poppers, I feel I should at the very least have some say in the debate about them” he is quoted as saying; “If Dave (Cameron) wants to come to Heaven with me any Friday night in the next four weeks, the offer is there. I'll show him what it's all about, man.”
No government spokesperson was available for comment.

Awwwwwwwwwww, Maron, I didn't know you cared! I'm surviving, the therapy helps
I draw solace and inspiration from the example of Saint Francis…Francis of Assisi
… and here is a poem for you
Assisi
The dwarf with his hands on backwards
sat, slumped like a half-filled sack
on tiny twisted legs from which
sawdust might run,
outside the three tiers of churches built
in honour of St Francis, brother
of the poor, talker with birds, over whom
he had the advantage
of not being dead yet.A priest explained
how clever it was of Giotto
to make his frescoes tell stories
that would reveal to the illiterate the goodness
of God and the suffering
of His Son. I understood
the explanation and
the cleverness.A rush of tourists, clucking contentedly,
fluttered after him as he scattered
the grain of the Word. It was they who had passed
the ruined temple outside, whose eyes
wept pus, whose back was higher
than his head, whose lopsided mouth
said Grazie in a voice as sweet
as a child's when she speaks to her mother
or a bird's when it spoke
to St Francis.
