I heart The Cross.

The clubs? Variously skanky, swanky or scummy with cheesy music.

The people? Hilariously drunk with poor communication skillz and, apparently, firearms.

All in all? Guaranteed good times ahead.

via Mumbrella. Comparison between the social media interest in Susan Boyle versus Peter Potts in 2007. The speed with which social media now picks up a story is extremely rapid, and highlights how quickly our behaviour has altered in terms of participating in the media.

…Do you remember when we met
That’s the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you…

via techcrunch Facebookfail ahead. While Facebook bans images of babies being breastfed as offensive, they are defining Holocaust denial as reasonable behaviour in order to maintain their philosophy of “fostering open discussion”. Now I am not one to jump on every instance of the varying shades anti-Semitic vitriol that can be found on the web and cry about it, but the fact that Facebook can have such blinding inconsistency when approaching their ethical and moral philosophy really has my knickers in a knot. Adding to that the fact that this isn’t one or two people being ignorant, but rather a widespread trend of hateful dialogue, I have to ask this: Why exactly Facebook is so scared of reigning in this kind of behaviour? They can do it, so why won’t they? And if they are so dedicated to freedom of expression, why is something as natural as a baby being breastfed being redefined as inappropriate? Get it together Facebook, or you might just have to deal with a #fbfail meltdown on Twitter sometime soon.

I was not aware that blinged up, keffiyeh bedecked ghetto dancers on morning television were a key feature for a well rounded approach to improving consumer confidence and economic growth. That Kochie, he really is a master of all arenas.
