Waterfights appear to be illegal now 

(Slightly more sinister is that the police were monitoring Blackberry Messenger services in the first place, who do they think they are, journalists?).

[csurfleet]

The use of water-based weaponry should be reserved solely for croud control. If people get it in their heads that water cannons are a fun toy our police force will be defenseless!

The phone hacking scandal is back. Much as Coulson, Cameron, the Murdochs et al would like it to just go away.

Marina kicks fuck out of Sally Bercow and Cunty Cowells Freakshow of Doom:

The X Factor is merely a light entertainment show, and is the answer to precisely nothing, unless it's the inquiry: "What apocalypse-hastening reality format shits a gazillion quid into Simon Cowell's bank account every week?"

Just clocked this on another forum (copy & pasted links to pictures/wordpress don't work), fucking shocking....

Spanish police smack a girl in the face and beat up a photographer. Sickening.

Code: [Select]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zJCgUu5mtE&feature=player_detailpage#t=83s
copy/paste as you can't embed timed youtube vids here...

If you see the video from the beginning, you can actually see what happens. Here's a translation of what is heard

At 0:40 the girl says "VIOLENTOS, QUE SOIS UNOS VIOLENTOS, CABRONES!" -> "Violent, you violent bastards"

0:50, she says "DEFENDED MIS DERECHOS" -> "Defend my rights!"

While this happens, most of the people you see on the side of the street where the policemen are are "peregrinos" (pilgrims) that came to attend the visit of the Pope. They're all around the city, and they usually carry flags and those orange bags which were given to them.

1:12: "Despacito, despacito, nada de peregrinos" (slowly, slowly, nothing about pilgrims), says the policeman.

Then he says "es una niña, es una niña, a ver quien.. (?¿)", "it's a girl, it's a girl, let's see who.. (can't understand that part)"

"Peregrinos, nada, ni caso" -> "ignore the pilgrims"

At 1:29, the girl says "What happens?", the policeman replies "What happens?", and then hits the girl. You can see the flashes from the photographer who takes these pictures:

http://danielnuevo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/MG_5698.jpg http://danielnuevo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/MG_5699.jpg

When the policeman sees the flashes, he runs to them and starts hitting him. According to his blog, he hits him and says "GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING CAMERA". Another policeman crosses the street too, maybe to get another one who is recording. "Fuck off" can be heard, and then "Vete, vete, corre!" ("Go away, go away, run".

The man approaches the photographer and says he's got everything recorded, he says he's been hit on his neck and left unconscious. "They're following anyone who was protesting and hitting them, one by one".. "oh, crap, but what about a CAMERA? PRESS?"

So, this is what the girl did. Saying they were violent bastards, and I guess the policemen proved her right.

There have been more police violency stories, not only from the police but from the pilgrims to the protesting people. The day of the authorized anti-JMJ protest, pilgrims were blocking the ways that where authorized to the protest to try to stop it. The police did nothing to prevent the pilgrims to confront the protestors... but they finally violently hit the protestors.

At Edinli today, the television was showing BBC News 24 - where, apparently in Green Sq. Tripoli there had been "Celebrity Shooting" according to the presentron.


Which caused me to opine in a text to Mr Sharpe it sounded like some "Sick Reality Show"

Fine, quoth he. Start with Piers Moron, Simon Cowell, and Toby Young.


Which got me thinking about something I'd said long ago - Alan Partridge's pitch to get a new show "Monkey Tennis" didn't go far enough in presagig the "Reality TV" boom.

So, coming soon to  a thread near you - "Celebrity 633 Squadron"
