    Sorry to come back to this but... I just came across this piece (via Pharyngula)

    Which do you think was his better photo? There is the obvious answer and then there is the answer that discusses what this juxtaposition says about our current culture.

    Come now Russell, surely you realise that by not allowing people to say whatever they want (regardless of its truthiness) you are violating their right to free speech.

    Also, the best news show I have ever seen is ESPN's Sportscentre. If they could somehow map that format onto important* news we'd be set. CurrentEventsCentre

    *Sports is not that important really.

    Radio for speed and initial reactions. TV for pictures. Newspapers for detail. Internet for opinion.

    To use a sports for an example, the best thing to do when watching live sport is to turn on the TV, turn off the sound and replace it with the radio commentary of your choice.

    TV3 were having a blinder last night. A scant two articles after (or maybe it was before, I forget) the Deal or No Deal advertisement was a piece about a new Westcoast brewery that was "anti-PC".

    From the man who brought you Good Bastards Beer (I see no reason to add the apostrophe or the correct hypen) comes a beer company that won't have any of the POLITICAL CORRECTNESS of New Zealand's major breweries. Ummm, like Tui? Or Export Gold? (both DB I believe). Or Lion Breweries with their very PC red-blooded ads.

    Also this new anti-PC beer is against the pansy-men at ALAC. Look all the problems with alcohol are caused by "a minority of loutish youth". Cue shots of (presumably) good bastards drinking plenty of free beer before (presumably) driving home.

    This isn't about dyslexia, as far as I know.

    It's about internet chat speak (often caused by mistakes when typing at speed: "teh") and pastly about how kittens (kittehs) would speak if they could speak, which they can't, or so I'm led to believe.

    Nice find Che

    Jabberwacky: Do you believe in God?

    ALICE: Of course I believe in God.

    J: Why do you believe in God?

    A: The Bible tells us to believe in God.

    J: That’s circular reasoning.

    A: I’m glad we have that all cleared up.

    J: Yes. Would you like to hear a joke?

    A: Sure, tell me about it.

    J: Why don’t blind people skydive?

    A: Perhaps it is impossible.

    J: I think you lie a lot.
