The Sun

Sticking with the theme of the news I'm talking about the newspaper. A recent edition of the Sun which i happened to catch the front page of managed to cement in my mind that i should avoid it in future. This was the day the VAT increased to twenty percent and the day after Pete Posslewaite died. Two things i think that are more than news worthy. These two stories swamped all the papers not another story was in sight until i come across this paper. The angle The Sun had taken was in direction of former Britain's fattest man who had lost 30 stone and had found love. I can't even comprehend how this story would reach a news paper let alone the font page. Perhaps I'm being harsh this is a news paper that usually takes a running commentary of Cheryl Cole's life as it's front page. An actual front page of this paper was that Cheryl Cole had dyed her hair. Well thank goodness they published this story because otherwise i would've missed it and my life would now be incomplete. The front page sets the standards for the rest of the paper and if this is what they're writing about i wouldn't bother with it in future.

Money For Nothing

Money For Nothing. A classic rock song you may, or may not have heard. It's your average rock eighties rock song. A random thought to start on perhaps; I was watching the eight o' clock news the other night and the story which really stuck out to me was that this song had been banned in Canada. Why? i hear you ask, well it says the word faggot a few times. So it has been banned on the radio, this wouldn't really be anything out of the ordinary if it wasn't for the fact that Money For Nothing was realised in 1985. How on earth has this come to the attention of the Canadian government, have they got nothing else to discuss? Is nothing going on in Canada that the political correctness of classic rock songs is the most important thing. Come on guys seriously. I like to think that they were discussing plans on how to aid the US government or something of similar importance when an MP's phone rang and the room fell silent. After about twenty seconds of silence one MP has the courage and says "Did they just say faggot?"

That's all I really have to say about this I'm still in shock
