God Hates Blogs
Looks like the looney religous right isn’t into blogging because it’s evil, according to Kevin D. Denee of the Restored Church of God:
Should teenagers and others in the Church express themselves to the world through blogs? Because of the obvious dangers; the clear biblical principles that apply; the fact that it gives one a voice; that it is almost always idle words; that teens often do not think before they do; that it is acting out of boredom; and it is filled with appearances of evil — blogging is simply not to be done in the Church. It should be clear that it is unnecessary and in fact dangerous on many levels.
Let me emphasize that no one — including adults — should have a blog or personal website (unless it is for legitimate business purposes).

News.com.au in very bad taste
News.com.au reports on Lauren Huxley, a women severely attacked last year returning to the Spring Races. Simple story you might think, if it wasn’t for the caption under the picture:
An alleged attack?
WTF? Was it a love bite that put Lauren in hospital? Did she do it to herself? Alleged?!?! Someone call Media Watch Now! This is bloody disgraceful.

Big Brother is alive and well in England
The Guardian reports on a chap getting two years and eight months in prisons for the crime of “hate speech”. Apparently the goose wrote some racially offensive stuff on a website. Get this, he got an additional 6 months for possession of kiddie porn! Yep, apparently in England using racial abuse is over 5 times worse than possession of kiddie porn! Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m not condoning for one minute what this guy wrote, but nearly 3 years in jail for it? There’s something very, very wrong in a society that jails people for speech, no matter how offensive it is, and at a rate 5x longer than a truly hideous crime against society: kiddie porn. Big Brother is here, and it looks like he’s a paedophile…and most likely black as well.

Germany menaced by giant bug
The Register reports on a giant bug menacing the German countryside.
The really odd thing for me is that it would appear that the satellite images were scanned. Scanned? weren’t they digital images to start with? is there a giant factory of Google Earth workerbees scanning satellite imagery for our enjoyment?
Odd.

Why doesn’t Google love Canada and Australia?
Interesting post over at Jensense. Apparently you can’t become a Qualified Company in the Google Advertising Professionals program if your company is in Canada. It appears that you can’t be a member of the program if your company is in Australia as well…and yet if your company is in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Burkina Faso or other stout African nations it’s not a problem as well. Indeed, you can even b based out of Iran and Syria and qualify, but not Australia nor Canada.
Stupid. Very, very stupid.

More proof that Australia is out of touch
This article on SEO from Australian IT. As Threadwatch headlines it: “Australian IT Now Teaching SEO Tricks from 1997”. This from our national newspaper. Yikes. I some journalists wonder why people are moving away from the MSM to blogs and other alternative news sources.

America proves again why others regard it as stupid
Todays the 5th Anniversary of 9/11. Now read this:
CBS Corp. said on Saturday it would broadcast the documentary “9/11” on the Internet as well as the airwaves after several affiliates said they would delay or forgo the award-winning film because it includes profanity.
The documentary was produced by French filmmakers Gedeon and Jules Naudet and retired New York firefighter James Hanlon and has aired twice without incurring fines by U.S. regulators charged with enforcing broadcast decency standards.
CBS said affiliates that cover about 10 percent of the United States had decided not broadcast the program or would show it late at night…The American Family Association, which describes itself as a Christian organisation promoting traditional values, has called on CBS stations to forgo or delay the “9/11” broadcast.
Yep, they don’t want to broadcast what happened at the WTC because, god help us, someone might have actually sworn. And we aren’t talking about a movie, we’re talking about real life.

When the man becomes the blog
There’s a big blog conference in India this weekend according to ITWire, and the headline speaker: “Robert Scobleizer”. I kid you not. And in case they realise their error, here’s the screenshot:
Good luck to them none the less.
