Damn media bias
A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, that was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
=========================================
That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
Government requests for Data
I've just been pointed to an interesting part of Google that shows by country, the number of requests for data by governments.
Have a look at the Google page if you're interested.
Do your bit.
Go over HERE to let the coalition government know which laws you think should be abolished.

The ASA should grow some balls.
I'm sure some people are professionals at finding offence in almost anything these days.
This poster has been banned.
I mean there must have been thousands of complaints.
Oh Noes
However, the ASA received 33 complaints that the ads were unsuitable to be seen by children, were offensive and condoned or encouraged antisocial behaviour.

About time too.
At last the BBC is being forced into the real world.
The BBC was facing revolt from thousands of staff today after taking an axe to its final-salary pension scheme.
Many staff will be worse off in retirement under the proposals as the corporation looks to counteract a £2 billion deficit in its pension fund.
Especially if it could affect this insufferable Twat.
But then I expect he's safe.
From the comments:
"Preston thinks he is the Queen Mother of broadcasting!"
I must obey the Righteous.
And I will use the advice printed on the packet below.
Says it all.

I'll take her advice. Thanks Debs. You old crone sweety.
