Spammer bounty?

February 01st, 2005 | Category: Announcements, Blog gos, Politics

If this site has been a wee bit unpredictable in the last few hours, we apologise. It seems a bunch of d.o.s. terrorists (probably looking at over 1000 spam trackbacks on this site alone) seem to have taken it into their head to take us down. Maybe we bloggers should band together and offer a bounty for every spammer’s head we get brought spammer that gets the dung kicked out of him.

Of course, the team’s thanks go to Kathy for all her help sorting it out.

Update: My ole mate, Mike got nailed by the same bastards.

Update II: Aaron has declared hunting season on spammers; which Ken approves of most heartly, as do we.

CafePress Hypocrites?

February 01st, 2005 | Category: Blog gos, Political Correctness

Cafepresswatch seems to think so. They have found some fine examples of hypocrisy and clear violations of copyright & the rules/regs. Then again, some of the stuff is damn funny.

Er, whatever you say, Biz. Below is the latest in Japanese toilet technology, which apparently requires a degree in electrical engineering to operate. The only thing missing is an L.E.D. display eternally blinking 12:00 am.

There’s more (much more than you ever wanted to know) on Japanese toilets in this entry in Wikipedia.

Tears before bedtime

February 01st, 2005 | Category: Politics

Ten years ago one of Africa’s least repressive states extended voting rights to its Black population. This earned months of jubilant BBC coverage bordering on hysteria. Such was the joy at Broadcasting House, I started to wonder if E had been handed out in the canteen.

The new Socialist government introduced endemic corruption, made most Blacks poorer, and saw the introduction of the highest crime and AIDS rates in the world.

This week,democracy in one of the world’s worst dictatorships was reported in tones befitting an outbreak of cholera. Such were the depressive tones of BBC reporters, I assumed an important leader had died, and a national funeral was about to begin.

Through gritted teeth, BBC reporters were forced to display jubilant crowds proudly waving their ballot papers.

Such was my sorrow for the poor state-sponsored journalists, I almost sent condolence flowers.

The Left better shape up.

To loose America to the right is understandable, but to loose two Islamist dictatorships to democracy looks like carelessness.
