EDIT: Just noticed the red button service will be down to one stream after London 2012 - that's rubbish! :-(

so Dave Moron has admitted being corrupted by Murdoch in return for votes, but Murdoch still gets his reward.

Isn't it great that we've got such honest people in charge?

[Kowalski]

What does that mean? you won't be able to watch (say if it were this year) Glastonbury coverage when Wimbledon is on?

[Gre]

That's what I assume, but its not clear at all. Really hope that's not going to be the case.

The beeb needs to understand what's important. Charlie brooker wrote a piece over the weekend about trailers for the bbc - and he was bang on the money. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/oct/09/charlie-brooker-bbc-cuts

the beeb is trying to be all things to all men (or women)

it doesn't need to advertise itself, it doesn't need expensive trailers for its own output, and the quality stuff that it does make sells by the shedload on dvd and syndication worldwide. even stupid things that might not be immediately evident - like only having one news anchor instead of 2 can save a fortune. I'm sure even a novice could go into the bbc and save a fortune without drastically affecting the output.

DNA sequenced of woman who lived to 115..

I find this stuff fascinating and does seem like we maybe on the edge of something massive.. Do wonder though if it would result in a miracle or a curse for the planet.

Who's Anonymous at 16th and why are most of them not even in Britian?

I guess it's voted for.

I wonder who voted for "Anonymous" then and more importantly, why is there an option to do so?

this made me so f'ing angry, and very upset to watch. how can a father do this to his child in the name of anything?

she downloaded some music and games off of kazaa from what I understand, and the father got a cease and decist letter from the RIAA. take the fucking PC off her ffs.

even more worrying are the various mouth breathers who say "she got what she deserved" on various comment boards etc.

R.I.P. Kim Jong-Il. A true hero. Quite a life!

He was born on Mount Paekdu, one of Korea's most cherished sites, in 1942, a birth heralded in the heavens by a pair of rainbows and a brilliant new star.

He invented the hamburger.

He shot a 38 under par in his first ever round of golf including 5 hole in ones.

He spend half a million a year on brandy, average North Korean wage is 1k. Surprisingly,

the Daily Fail has the best article I've read on him this morning.

Considering how much of a c**t he was, the pictures of the grieving Koreans is proof that shameless propaganda didn't die with Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will.

no one cried in the UK for a worthless rich woman who lived off their taxes. This country is so much better than the rest of the world.
