Nanny state-ism gone mad!

Worked for Xmen.

To be fair to Xmen, they went back before the story in the first Xmen films began. From looking at the trailer this appears to be just telling the same story again as the first Spiderman film.

Oh. Well that's just daft.

Playing video games - nearly as bad as smoking. Good lord.

What are the odds the guy was a fat f%~k?

Or just had some underlying health problems. Also did anyone point out to our wonderous politicans that people may be sitting in one place for upwards of 12 hours reading books, books people! They're the devils work, left unchecked they could kill hundreds of children every year or at the very least leave them with poor eyesight due to reading in poor light provided by the government manadatory low wattage enegry saving light bulbs.

Won't somebody think of the children and burn these awuful books now!

“Thousands of our children, teens and even young married men are spending endless hours on these machines and it is impacting on their emotional and mental health also.”

I'm none of those things but I spend endless hours per day in front of a computer screen for work. Why does she care more about children, teens and even young married men than she does about me?

Sky News.

[suisse]

Sky News.

Most news channels, especially 24 hour ones and also international ones, are garbage I find. Sky News is tabloid with some very weak presenters but at least their sportsline is above average.

I have CNN and BBC News 24 here - I hate them both. Bland, boring and predictable. CNN fills their scheduling with programmes like 'Behind the Story' (or something like that) and the other one where the female presenter sells it as 'how a story here is connected to events here and here' pointing to random destination in China, Europe and Venezuela for example. When the show starts, there are no links made, the stories are not newsworthy and whole thing falls apart. Their sports coverage used to be dominated by the Portugese-English educated who is massively in love with himself and pronounces his sylablles like Ryle Nugent. Haven't watched him (or the sports there) since Dermot Aherne was on moaning about Thierry Henry saying; "in my day, when I was growing up, you'd never get away with that"

BBC does that annoying thing (that CNN also have) of starting their morning programmes in Asia with some dude presenting from Singapore and someone from London. There's that artificial banter and pretending to find what the other person says is funny. Not acceptable for that hour of the morning.
