There Are No Words...

It was interesting watching the news today in the UK, with reporters on the ground there asking the army why they could get in and food/water/medical supplies couldnt .. They also showed that the french quarter wasnt touched and no looting had been done for the tourist areas for paintings and the like as looters were after food not art. The best of all showing the bits cnn had banned from being aired which showed Mike Myers and some rapper reading from an autocue offscreen .. everything was fine until this rapper decided he wasnt going to read the autocue and started saying "bush hates the black people" and i dont believe this was shown more than once in the US before censorship kicked in ..

They've been playing it over and over again today on the radio news.
I can see why they cut it off or switched cameras or whatever during the telathon - that's not what they were there for. He wants to say that stuff, he can go preach it elsewhere, they were trying to raise money.

And whether or not anyone wants to think about it, this comment however it
was intended (pointing out racism, injustice)... the net result was that there
were likely thousands of people that had their telephone in their hands, dialing
in and simply said "Fuck off, you asshole..." and hung up...

Forgive me diction nazi... the grammer there was not the best...

Always forgiven.

The aim is always effective communication, by the way...not impressing your high school English teacher. You communicated...and you're most likely correct. Emotions were very high...and it only takes a drop of gasoline poured on the fire....
