THIS IS THE NEWS

How about a format change? Recently I have discovered troubles in deciding what extraordinary subject I should write about each time I attempt to make a regular contribution to this site. Therefore I have decided that, while also splicing together some special topics, I will present you with my take on recent news with quick bursting paragraphs of commentary. Hopefully you will enjoy this but feel free to provide feedback to help shape this obscure project.
Let the great experiment begin!

1. Sit on it, weather: Today it transpired that one weatherman (Tomasz Schafernaker) sullied his awesome name with a collosal blunder on the BBC news. If you have not seen it yet, you can here. The man was caught raising his middle finger to society by raising his middle finger on the news. Of course it was not intentional but rather just someone joking around with his colleagues in a manner that many of us employ. Forgiveable of course but maybe not the smartest thing to do on national television. At least now he knows what all those cameras are for. The highlight: his face the moment he realises what he has done and starts scratching his chin.  
2. Harry Potter and the Ridiculous Module: Durham University have just declared that they will be offering a module course on Harry Potter soon. Oh, okay, I guess that English Literature students should study a series of books that have proved so popular in recent years. What's that? It's an education studies course?! Durham University (which I thought was supposed to be one of the better ones) seem to have mistaken simplistic writing combined, copious imagination and MAGIC to be the perfect tool in understanding how real schools work. Wrong. For example she went to my school therefore I can tell you that she is not writing about real experiences. Also it is about MAGIC. And it is for children. It is not some Charles Dickens-esque portrayal of social issues.
3. There Goes The Neighbourhood: By now everyone knows that there will be a mosque near ground zero in New York. My reaction to this news is this: "That is unusual. It is not often that we are told about new mosques being built." It does not matter. Islam and muslims are not the reason that the attack happened. Some deluded maniacs did it and would have for other reasons if there was not this religion. It is not like Christians haven't behaved in extremely similar ways in the past; just not with planes. Well done Obama for not caving in to the multitude of Americans not willing to look at things in the clear and rational way they should.

To conclude... Get excited and then see Scott Pilgrim vs The World, help Pakistan (they are people too) and read this next time please. Tell your friends. Valediction.
