Media Bullet was one of the first Freeview sites I ever visited. I can’t remember how long ago I subscribed to their weekly newsletter. They were simple, fast and always accurate with their news, and in the early days of Freeview there was a constant stream of new info and scoops.
Up until tonight, I ranked Media Bullet second after Digital Spy in my Freeview Links, which is still the most useful page on this site to most visitors.
Media Bullet is now closed – so thanks guys, and good luck in the future.
Oh, how could I not post about this!
The thing that gets me, and I mean really gets me, is that the name of the fancy dress party was ‘Colonials and Natives’. I mean, hello? How much more evidence do we need that these people are not worthy for employment, let alone represent the country. And this time it’s not some mad Uncle. We’re talking about the guy who is third in line to the throne, attending a party in a fascist uniform.
How ironic that people beat up on the working class chavs who, while not being a haven of tolerance and respect, would probably draw the line at swastikas.
At the stupid new policy of forcing you to wear uniform on Progress Review Day.
And on a serious note – this is the only way to do protests. Have fun, it’ll work better than being boring and rude.
I was told today that I write as I speak. Not sure if it was a compliment or an insult, but there you go, it’s made me all self-conscious and I’m spell-checking everything. Anyway…
Another thing I was told today came from my History teacher who kindly informed us, five minutes before the end of the lesson, that the two pieces of coursework we had been working on since, oh I don’t know, June, could only be 1,500 words long each. Now I just ran a word count, and I’m at 2,744 and 5,500 words. Not good. And before you start blaming me for waffling on, I’ve actually got to put more detail into some of them! Writing to a word count is a necessary skill, writing to a word count you don’t know about is not.
How many marks would they really knock off in practice? I think I’ll just take my chances to be honest – it would be impossible for me to hack them down and not lose marks anyway. Maybe I’ll put on my CV: “Main Weakness – Doing too much work.”
No, I didn’t watch it. I was too busy working on Spotlight Cinema. But I am proud of the BBC for sticking to their guns on this, unlike the disgusting Popetown incident. Religious fanatics are on a high right now, aided by Mary Whitehouse’s censorship cronies who still believe we should all pray before bedtime and blush when someone mentions a dirty word.
The majority of Christians realise that the Jerry Springer opera is a parody, or don’t care and don’t watch. The bullies who cheated the complaints system before it was even shown are the ultimate in arrogance. They believe that, if they don’t like the sound a programme before it has even been shown, they can deny anyone else the right to see it.
I hope they do prosecute the BBC. Hopefully that will prompt the government to repeal the idiotic blasphemy and replace them for a law against being a lying bully who stamps on other people’s freedom to advance their own selfish ego. (For the record, I don’t have a problem with banning incitement to religious hatred, as long as it’s worded correctly.)
Well, that got that out of my system. Now I must sleep, so that I will have enough strength tomorrow to carry my 10-tonne bag to school.
