I turned on the TV this morning and switched to SkyNews to see what was happening in the world...
What did I see? What was the big news story?
I bet you can't guess!
Was it about Japan? Was it about the fight to stop nuclear powerplants going into melt down? The search for suvivors in the wreckage of flooded towns?
No.
Was it about Libya, where Gaddafi is about to massacre the last rebels while the western world debates whether to impose a "no-fly-zone" and mutters "no, no, you mustn't do that"?
No.
Was it about Bahrain where foreign soldiers are using outrageous force to dispurse protestors.
No, of course not, this is being almost totally ignored.
Was it about more things that the government is going to do to our country in the effort to save money that will cause irreversable damage to much that has been achieved over the last 60 years?
No, not that either!
The main story was...
wait for it...
The main story was...
that SkyNews has launched a website dedicated to iPad users!
Yes, they were using the top news slot to advertise themselves, when the world is turning to crapola around us.
Jeez.

That's progress for you! Just think of all of those who toiled in the past to give you such amazing inventions/discoveries (penicillin, the telephone, radio, the steam engine, super glue, the light bulb, viagra) only to now have it culminate in getting your news directly on your iPad. Society has reached the pinnacle.
Look on the bright side, at least you are not hearing any more stories about Charlie Sheen (for now).
Somehow I'm not surprised. After all, Charlie Sheen and his antics have been the big headlines lately. Why not this?
well if they don't advertise themselves to those already watching them then how will they get the word out about how great they are at covering the news...because covering the news wouldn't be able to do that....right?
by the way, thanks for ruining chicken korma for me...:D
Wait, you can now get Sky News on ipad??? C'mon RC, you gotta' admit this IS earth shattering news.. isn't it?
Sigh.
