BBC News again, this time it's sweary! oh yeah, and the pointlessness of Paris Hilton.

This time BBC Travel News, and shock horror rudeness in the report.

And yes, I normally hate anything on the ytmnd site, but
a million photo opportunaties, 1 vapid expression, 0 surprises
And yet more proof that people like Paris Hilton and the like are not even human, just vacant droning automatons, with not a flicker of basic emotion to pick them out from the other few dozen mindless interchangable model/actress/singer/"personality" (yeah, why is it nowadays you seem to need to be utterly devoid of anything close to resembling personality, to become a "personality"?)

I remember in a Ben Elton book he imagines a future where the easiest way to become famous is to kill someone else famous, the publicity getting you countless interviews, book deals, etc, the only problem being that 'making it' made your forehead a target for other people's little red dots of light. It seems that in terms of art imitating life, all you need to do now to make it (well, to appear on the cover of heat and get a column in a lad's mag, anyway) is clamber onto someone's famous face and wriggle around for an hour or so, and you leech their fame by osmosis. Taking this to it's natural conclusion, the only problem is that we will end up with all female TV, music and film industries, because generally it's only men that have their brains shut down when presented with the chance to trade in their entire careers and families for a chance of some illicut grunting and sweating with a different female. Women tend to go ' Well, I LIKE sex, but I think I'll keep the money power and fame, thanks'.

BBC news...damn, check yer facts

I was watching, well, it was on in the background, the news story about under 16's buying knives, alcohol, fireworks, anthrax, and nuclear weapons online with debit cards. Ok, decent story, needs to be told, but does it need to be illustrated by shots of a 10 year old kid clicking google links to 'Macromedia fireworks', the quite unexplosive web software. I just think out of all the websites they could have gone to, wouldn't www.isellbigknivestokids.com or maybe www.tequilafortoddlers.com have been slightly more useful as an example? Bah and stuff, as like many people, I'll watch news from any station, but generally only really believe it when the BBC say its true!
