The US puppet government in Iraq, headed by Nouri al-Maliki reinstituted the death penalty in 2004. Since then, they have carried out executions under the watchful eye of the United States, itself a country which kills its own citizens every year. This state sponsored murder in Iraq and the United States is however dwarfed by Communist China, where thousands are killed every year. ... read full story / add a comment

Tara Brabazon is Professor of Media Studies a the University of Brighton and Director of the Popular Culture Collective. She's an author of a few bits & bobs on internet use, media culture & is building quite a profile for herself for attacking Google & Wikipedia claiming that they undermine educational & didactic processes & more than Harry Potter actively contribute to turning our kids brains (& minds) to utter mushy shite. Thing is, her arguments are proving to interest & influence far beyond the generally airified chitchat discussions of Media Studies university departments. Today's "Liberation" the French leftwing daily reports how the "Just say No to Wikipedia!" stickers are appearing across the USA in high schools as well as public amenity libraries.

2 years ago before Sarah Green worked in education, she accepted a job offer from a model & casting agency in Manchester (UK). The resulting video to promote "Hardwear" durable clothing for building sites & other intensive labour work garnered a few prizes on the film circuit. & then most likely Ms Green forgot all about it. That is till her teenage students at the Stockport Grammar School (an independent or private school in England) not only discovered the video clip whilst trawling Youtube for erotica, but let their parents know about it too. She's now been suspended from her work & 21,000p.a. salary. ... read full story / add a comment

This week's Vatican Observatory newspaper has fielded two articles on Harry Potter explaining to whomever bothers that the popular kids' series of novels & movies is really doing what the mad sicko fundamentalist Americans already said it is. Yep. Sending your kids to Satan. ....."J.K. Rowling's successful character Harry Potter is the wrong model of a hero, says the Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano in its Monday-Tuesday edition. In an article signed by Edoardo Rialti, L'Osservatore says that many have tried to establish a parallel between Rowling's main character and "the great fantasy masterpieces of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Clive Staples Lewis, the Christian authors of the most beloved fables of the 20th Century............" ... read full story / add a comment |
