The K Experience

UK government official no 1: "So this Zimbabwe business, what on Earth shall we do about it old chap?"

UK government official no 2: "Well I was thinking about it, and ... well...we can ban them from playing cricket, what what."

UK government official no 1: "Good show, good show in deed, old chap. That'll soon sort out that Mugabe fellow. With that crippling sanction, he will soon see the error of his ways, and free and fair elections will come about in no time." 

Now I should actually say Wright, Obama and Fox News, but to be honest, main stream media in general is at fault, and this whole fiasco with Reverand Wright, is one of many occasions that the media has been responsible for misrepresentation. By the time you guys will be reading this, Wright would have already spoken publicly for the first time since the whole issue blew up, as an interview he had is scheduled to air tonight (25th April - see below for links to the PBS interview). But I still wanted to say my piece about the whole issue...

"People across Zimbabwe are anxiously awaiting the final election results, which have been slow to emerge since the close of polling on Sunday." [BBC News]

The people of Zimbabwe aren't the only ones that are "anxiously awaiting". I must say that I'm greatly interested and awaiting the results too, as I am sure many other African around the world are. But while we do wait, let's not jump to conclusions and let's not generalize...

News items currently on RSS feed to my site regarding Japan and my opinion:

• Asashoryu slams Chiyotaikai to stay perfect at spring sumo - Me: "Sports, ok."
• Diet rejects Tanami as BOJ chief, leaving central bank without boss - Me: "Business, important."
• Disney donates $1 mil to Chiba University - Me: "Charity, nice."
• Akita woman sentenced to life for murder of daughter, boy - Me: "wow, serious, definitely news."
• Kentucky Fried Chicken to raise prices in April - Me: ....????????
  

There are few things I hate more than misleading news. One of those is non-news. Why would ANYONE care that KFC in Japan were raising the prices of their chicken pieces by 20cents?...

What does YouTube, the Twin Towers, Christianity and an extract from a Danish newspaper have in common?

Just flicking through the UK news, as I do from time to time, and I stumble upon the most rediculous article I have read in a long time. Keith Brown, a youth worker from the West Midlands, gets jailed in Dubai for FOUR years for being found with a minute trace of cannabis STUCK TO HIS SHOE!!!!!
