Freedome of interwebs
this is something that i dont actually have a direct tie to. I live in the USA but i hear in Australia the government is trying to pass a sort of censorship of the internet. "for the children"
sounds reasonable right?
wrong.
The government wants to make it so you cant access the websites with certain keywords in them. this list of keywords is completely secretive. and thats an issue. in short if this internet protection is passed the government will control what our aussie friends read and see on the internet. Imagine if here in the USA the government controlled the press! oh... wait...
Greek artifacts
this is a little bit of a smaller rant then my last two but its about this monumental greek artifact. i cant remember the exact name (i'm writing this off the top of my head) but it used to sit up on the temple of Athena in Athens. in the 19th century some british prick came along and was like "mmmm yesh, this would look dashing on the home estate dont you agree? hrrmer"
so he had tones of workers come and move the thing piece by piece. now-a-days its in the london museum (its amazing i've been there, that place makes all museums look like piles of trash). Every Year for the past... century or so Greece has been sending around a petition and every year they get thousands of signatures and every year the british reply "mmmm, NO". This is outrageous. My parents are historians and have taught me the value of these things. i think we should start spreding the word of this, because if america does a petition too, along with some other countries (wherever you're from) those stupid gits will have to send the sodding think back to bloody greece (lol i love british slang)
Welcome to my rant journal, today i'm going to be ranting about the Jerry Springer show, the rabid puss filled sore on good tv.
If you know anything about the Jerry Springer show you'll know its a "talk show" where this guy (Jerry Springer) finds the most redneck people he can find and puts them on TV in front of the rudest audience any tv program has ever seen. the Jerry Springer show was deputed on september 30th 1991. Jerry Springer (former politician) began the show that was originaly a political talk show. What happened? all i know is that today it is the scum of tv. TV Guide Magazine called it the "Worst TV show Ever" and "an Hour of your life you'll never get back"
this is oh so very true. but what bugs me isn't so much the guests, who are everything from married cousins to KKK members (and sluts... lots of sluts), its the audience.
Frequently in the JSS (jerry springer show) the subjects will fight with eachother. in countless episodes, the guest is jumped as soon as he walks onto the stage by whoever is the other person there. i'm sure on most television shows this would go on the news, and they would be barred from ever going to a talk show again. but on the JSS it is encouraged. The audience cheers and yells their approval of the action. but the audience isn't just a fan of people wanting to kill eachother on tv, they're also amazingly rude. I remember one episode i saw where (i only saw this bit) there were some fat women and some gay men as the guests. and jerry springer gave the microphone to one of the audience members who said:
"your so fat you have to wear one watch on each wrist cause you're in two time zones!"
"you should be worried about your face cause someday that baboon will want its butt back"
there was another but i dont exactly want to remember it, i was already pretty annoyed by this but then another guy came up and took the microphone and told one of the gay guys in the back:
"hey you should go to california, tinker bell died and disney is looking for a new fairy"
god that just tipped me over the edge. i was watching "best of Jerry Springer" on youtube for the lulz but i was so dissapointed cause it actually put me in such a bad mood.
Jerry Springer Show= Worst Television Show EVER
