Cervelat celebrities are poor sausages
—
After the acceptance of the ban on tobacco advertising, the cervelat and the carrot cake are now to be tackled. At least that’s what a few politicians, who like to exaggerate, claim.

Do you remember 2007? The year was shaped by three events: Nikolas Sarkozy became president in France, Roger Federer won Wimbledon for the fifth time and the Cervelat crisis raged in Switzerland. Because the EU had banned the import of Brazilian beef casings, the cervelat suddenly lacked a suitable casing. The situation only improved when the tender and robust intestines of the zebu cattle were allowed to be reintroduced. Pork or artificial casings had turned out to be completely unsuitable.
Our national sausage recently made the headlines again. The opponents of the tobacco advertising ban claimed that it would soon be her turn. It was one of those usual pre-vote exaggerations that has as much to do with reality as cervelat celebrities do with real stars.
According to the definition, the Cervelat celebrity is nothing more than a poor sausage that pushes itself into the foreground but doesn’t really have anything to say. That this sometimes also applies to politicians is, of course, just a bad rumor.
