Activists reject China’s denial of Internet censorship. Well duh. Did China actually think that anyone would believe that bullshit?
Somewhere along the way the spirit of the message was lost forever.
To show how Islam shouldn’t be associated with violence, Peshawar residents put a $1 million bounty on the head of the Danish cartoonist who drew the infamous Mohammed cartoon. Nothing says “we’re peaceful” like a well-funded assassination contract. Evidently things like irony are unknown in that particular area of Pakistan.
So this is why the French are news junkies!
French newsanchor and web cult celebrity Mélissa Theuriau. Unfortunately she’s on the one French channel we *don’t* get in Montreal! It’s just not fair, I tell ya.
In related news the US denies ever invading Iraq.
China denies internet restrictions. But seriously folks… the most ironic part of this story is that there’s a good likelihood that people accessing the internet in China will probably not get a chance to see it. I’ll file this one under “bullshit.”
It just goes to show that record company execs are too fucking dumb to learn anything.
If you think that Sony BMG understands that it shouldn’t screw with their customers’ PCs, you’d be wrong. I can safely say that it’ll be a cold day in hell before I buy anything with the Sony name on it, whether for myself or anyone else. Evidently the only lesson they learned from the earlier rootkit fiasco is that they should hide themselves better…
You shoot one of your friends in the face and all of a sudden people think they can make jokes about you…
Dick Cheney’s poor gun-handling continues to make him the butt of jokes and criticism. All the attention has got the Vice-President sweating like, er, a guest in his own shooting party.
On the positive side there’s no evidence that this caused the Dickster to spill his drink.
‘Stand up. Take responsibility. Be a man. You shot a guy.’ Fallout arising from last weekend’s hunting incident where Dick Cheney a member of his own party in the face keeps mounting.
Later said MPs apologized, explaining that they were so used to doing it when Emerson used to be on the other side of the floor.
Some Tories are now turning on floor-crossing MP David Emerson. Stephen Harper’s cabinet appears to be in a spot of trouble even before its first day in Parliament.
Sure it was spontaneous… if “spontaneous” means “carefully planned over several months by religious zealots”.
Some interesting background info on the anti-cartoon rioting that’s been happening recently. There’s a lot more at play there than what you’ve seen on television.
Actually there is such a thing as trusting too much.
If you use Google Desktop, the Bush Administration could soon have access to all your data. Be wary of any company that asks you to trust it, even when they say they’re ‘not evil’.
