daily news review 3

UK to probe Iraq 'abuse' video
- cause they ran out of things to probe ... that's their latest 'designer' fetish
'No survivors' in Sudan air crash
- not sure why the quotes ... what is that a codeword for?
Iran Jews express Holocaust shock
- A bit too late for that I say
Volkswagen to cut 20,000 workers
- the car for the people doesn't need people anymore :) kind of ironic
Intel looks beyond the microchip
- and overlooks. 10 years later, nobody has ever heard of Intel - it has crashed and burned

daily news review 2

"Radiation checks at US mosques" - what better way to show how tolerant to other beliefs and races the US is. What next? Random arrests, without warranty or reasons? Oh, wait, they already do that.

"Scientists find 'mass dodo grave'" - yes, they have (or rather had) cults as well. What's the fascination with the dodo anyway? Just one of millions of extinct species. It's like a random media pick to underline their concern, and simultaneously touch the cute note of their usual viewers, without any need for justification. Well that's typical, but why the dodo?

"Chad in 'state of war' with Sudan" - yep, it's another african war. I wasn't aware Chad and Sudan not being in war with each other in the first place. After all, there are grounds to believe that every african country is in war with every other one. There is only so many permutations 20 countries or so can generate.

"Judge blocks law on violent games" - stopping a law that stops the selling of violence and sex games ... no comment

daily news review

"Maradona arrested at Rio airport" - now that's news ... something new and exciting ... something that has never happened before and I really wanted to hear for the first time ... or not

"Bird flu kills two in Indonesia" - only two chicken? what kind of horrible illness is this? I'm sure more have died trying to plunge an egg out or other stress related problems.

"Hunger leads to deaths in Kenya" - I'm pretty sure it leads to death anywhere in the world ... sort of a biological consequence of our nature.

"Japan population starts to shrink" - That's not so much news as such ... it was expected and awaited. It's already happening to a few countries in the world (notably Bulgaria). The strange thing is that the health minister is screaming his head off, making it a horrible and tragic thing. So much for the UN's praise that Bulgaria by decreasing it's population is helping the world's overpopulation problem. In China, you go to jail if you have more than one kid and in Japan as it looks like they'll give you a house and a 20year contract for your unbourne child to work in the toy robot factory.
