It seems that yet another Yank went postal
yesterday, and ended up killing a dozen or so hapless victims. My question is, instead of shooting a load of innocent bystanders before killing themselves, why don't they just shoot themselves 12 or 13 times? I'd have thought that would be a far more intense final experience!
Answers, on a postcard, from any of you Son's of Bitches that they've managed to take alive!
On a very different note, I'm really pissed off with the British Press. Once again, in their haste to make a story out of nothing, they've possibly bolloxed something pretty amazing. I refer, of course, in this instant, to Google Street View, the navigation aid that's finally come to the UK and that many of us have been eagerly anticipating. Privacy (something they're happy to ignore when they're invading yours - 3 Cheers for Max Mosley - Whip Whip Don't Fray) they all scream whilst, yet again, inaccurately reporting a story.
I've over hear people tonight saying how they don't want people to be able to see them sunbathing in their back gardens - it's Google STREET View for fu*ks sake, it films the street, it would only film You in Your back garden if You were in fact in Your front garden. For that to happen You would have to be a bit "special" when it came to identifying and classifying gardens, and that wouldn't be Google's fault! Google maps (satellite view) can see your back garden and has been able to do so for years. The good news (for the topless sunbathing fraternity anyway) is that these photo's show off your Great Tits at their best,
the way they were before the Sun damage made them go all wrinkly
and well before they went south and got saggy!
If you actually take the time to view GSV you'll see that faces are blacked out and number plates made hazy. As for burglars using it to case your house, well if they are happy to use infomation that's at least a year out of date rather than follow their usual practice of spur of the moment opportunistic break-ins I think that will actually make it more likely that they'll get caught, especially if you've bought a big dog in the interim.
"get im offa me"
GSV is designed (to be used on a mobile phone or GPS device) as an aid to navigation for people who find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings; it's not a charter for voyeurs.
Anyway, now I've got that off my chest on to more important matters, to wit. Have YOu Seen Some of the Chests on Google Maps?? My God, at first, I thought I had discovered a new range of big pink mountains. I give you :
On a final note; I'm sure there are still people who really don't think that the cusrrent financial crisis is a big deal, that it's all been hyped-up by the press.
To these people I say:
When was the last time, that YOU remember, the leaders of the 20 richest countries in the World sitting down and agreeing to a joint plan of action that involved them committing to expenditures of over $1 trillion in the space of a single day and where the French didn't get up and take their toys home?
Be Afraid, Be Very Very Afraid!!
