Lazy

I'm lazy. I just went to create an online petition to bring Today Tonight off air and some how stamp out that rubbish "journalism". There is quite a bit of thought and writing to do a petiton properly, and unfortunately I'm too lazy and maybe not knowledgable enough. If there is already one around, I'm happy to put my name on it.

Is there a way that sort of crap can be stamped out? If I was to become a politician, would there be a method to get rid of it? Or is that unconstitutional or something?

Let me know, about that and any petitions that are out there.

Puzzle Pirates

This is a very cool little MMOG.

In my search for the greatest MMOG, this game kept coming up. It never sounded to appealing. I mean, I 'm not the puzzle playing type. But after coming across it yet again, I decided to give it a go, and it is actually very cool!

It is a MMOG with some very cool features:
  • Own your own house
  • You can own you own boat (although expensive)
  • You can be part of a crew (or captain) of a crew
  • Apparently you can own your own island (but I haven't worked that one out yet)
  • Quite a few games to play, from puzzles, to card games, to board games
  • There is a full economy including manufacturing
  • Seems to be a decent political system as well (haven't delved much into that)
  • The pirate theme is awesome! Arrrrr!
I'm more I'm sure. There is a good chance I'll get bored of the puzzles (which are quite clever), but I get bored of everything.

It also doesn't seem full of 12 year old nitwits funnily enough.

Anyway, I'm in Ocean Sage as Bazman. Come and be my hearty!

Raise the anchor, we have some pillaging to do!

Ahoy there!!

Today Tonight

Today Tonight. If there is one thing I hate about television, it is shows like this.

Sensationalised "current affairs". What a joke.

Television is such a powerful medium. It gets to so many people, and unfortunately it seems most people believe what they hear without question. Shows like Today Tonight take what might be the smallest most insignificant fact and completely sensationalise it into something ridiculous. Fear rates, and this is what they try to create.


On top of that, they are just dirty and misleading.

There is this terrible story of them getting an exclusive story, not holding up their end of the deal, with some dire consequences.

Recently there has been a Big Brother story (sorry) of no importance or interest at all, but it does just show lazy and irresponsible to people of Today Tonight are. Here is the story, with a response from a party affected.

After seeing that story on YouTube, I was lead to another clip or colection of clips of Naomi Robson. I guess its what I expected, but its not until you actually see it do you realise everything is as bad as you expected.

Oh, this is also great. Sounds a lot like a guy at work (he's a great guy though).
