British Paparazzi in Kate and Pippa bikini storm:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13352580

From the above link:
One photograph in the News of the World showed Pippa removing her bikini top under the headline "Oh buoy it's Pippa".

The Mail on Sunday's article showed the sisters on their uncle Gary Goldsmith's yacht under the headline "Perfect Pippa - and the Prince of Belly Flops".

I was thinking that Bill and Kate wedding really is the triumph of celebrity of the Royals, essentially started by Diana in its modern form. The Queen really did cut a lonely figure..just mouthing, 'That's amazing' as she entered the Abbey, after no doubt being told to do so..she's never done stuff like that before.

Pandora's Box was well and truly opened with Diana. It's going to be a hell of a struggle to keep the Press on a leash..especially in the internet age like it is now.

They managed to gag the American comics.
John Stewart (The Daily Show) has twice now
complained that a decree was issued that no footage
from the wedding broadcast could be used for comic
or satirical purposes. And come to think of I have
seen none anywhere!

U-toob dancing wedding parody notwithstanding.

Oh crikey. Who managed that decree? Was it the Brit government doing it? But surely the Americans would have to go along with it? I'm amazed..but then in the new big society we have here people really musn't be offended..and after all as the BBC repeatedly told us, this couple are clearly in love.

Right just watched YouTube ...brilliant.

Does anyone remember Westworld? A movie from the 1970s about a robot themepark that goes awry, which also had a porn version made of it. I just read on website io9 that they´ve now done a remake of it. No, not of Westworld but of the porn version of Westworld. That´s right, there´s so little creativity today that even porn movies get remade. I wonder if it´s in 3D.

This story seems awfully familiar.


'Obi-Wan Kenobi, the mastermind of some of the most devastating attacks on the Galactic Empire and the most hunted man in the galaxy, was killed in a firefight with Imperial forces near Alderaan, Darth Vader announced on Sunday. . .'

Ok the hidden post was mine.

I am going to do something I never do which is post line by line as I have no idea which bit was not allowed...I tried to be as neutral as a could:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/may/12/madeleine-mccann-parents-pm-review

"The parents of Madeleine McCann have asked David Cameron to launch an "independent, transparent and comprehensive review of all information" related to the disappearance of their daughter.

Kate and Gerry McCann tell US talkshow host Oprah Winfrey of 'very real likelihood' that daughter Madeleine is still alive"

Well, here are the facts:

1) They left their children alone in a flat in a foriegn country on holiday while they went for a meal.

2) Someone took the child.

3) No-one has found the child.

4) Don't blame police forces etc 'for not doing their job properly.

5) People go missing every year and the whole of the UK and EU police force do not jump into action like the McCanns are seemingly expecting them to here.

Conclusions:

Don't leave your children alone in flats on their own in foreign countries in resorts...

Other comments:

1) Given the amount of publicity the child is most likely dead.
