- Scandinavians are once again reminded that in some parts of the world, freedom of expression is just an expression like “take a walk on the wild side” and “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers”. Official: Thou shalt not produce cartoons, whether flattering or otherwise, of biblical characters for this is offensive to people of [...]No tags for this post.
- So Israel is back to square one with the Palestinians now that the terrorist group, Hamas, has been elected to govern the Palestinian people. Let’s be clear, Hamas is a group which does not recognise Israel’s right to exist and, as stated in the Hamas Covenant, seeks to destroy the state of Israel through violence. Hamas’s [...]No tags for this post.
- In case you’ve been wondering the fate of our trotskyite Pallywood star, there’s a good run-down of what happened last week over at Harry’s Place. One thing - perhaps the only thing - that Galloway and I agree on is that there are more important things going on in the world. (Plus, more than [...]No tags for this post.
- Google has launched its Chinese version of Google Search - albeit censored. Off the menu are democracy, Tianamen Square, Falun Gong, and anything else the Chinese government finds ‘offensive’ or ’subversive’ like human rights and probably this blog by now… Reporters Without Borders has already criticised Google for its trade-off. Knowing the stick that Yahoo! [...]No tags for this post.
- Yahoo! admits defeat in the search engine race. Chief Financial Officer Susan Decker says, “We don’t think it’s reasonable to assume we’re going to gain a lot of share from Google…It’s not our goal to be No. 1 in Internet search. We would be very happy to maintain our market share.” She then goes on [...]No tags for this post.
- I think we’re expected to. Why else would George Galloway go on a TV programme aimed at mass entertainment? His thinking (warped as always) is to attract younger voters into the “Respect” camp. But, Georgie, it doesnt matter how you dress up meatloaf (leotards included), it’s still meatloaf. Oh, the poor tax payers! George Galloway was [...]No tags for this post.
- We knew this day would come. The net couldnt stay free from commercial and government paranoia for more than a few years. This is the beginning of the end. Governments from the ying of the US gov to the yang of The “People’s” Republic of China have made demands on major internet companies for private/sensitive information [...]No tags for this post.
- What is this guy on? Has his brain been anaethetised by morphine to a point beyond repair? Maybe the kidney dialysis machine he now permanently has to walk around with is malfunctioning and he’s got pee on the brain? It’s not the fact that he calls for more attacks that’s alarming - that’s nothing new and [...]No tags for this post.
- (press play to play the video of this obscene charade) Why do they do it, eh? Why? These poor Doppelgänger attempts by talentless star-wannabes? What is the point of dressing up to look like a famous singer - especially one as established as Madonna - and singing their songs on TV? Why [...]No tags for this post.
- Last April, Germany’s Supreme Court demanded a retrial of cannibal, Armin Meiwes, convicted of manslaughter for eating his entire friend, Bernd-Juergen Brandes (sounds like a German dish to me!) - a sentence which the Supreme Court considers “too lenient”. The lesser charge was applied by the first court because the victim, Brandes, had demanded [...]No tags for this post.
