Stupid subbies

Or is it just boring journalists?

If I see "please explain" used as a noun in print again, I think I'll scream. Ever since Pauline Hanson used it this way many years ago, I've seen journalists demanding a "please explain". I could also do with never, ever, hearing about lines in the sand again... I could've smashed in the newsagent's window when every paper in country had the headline "Blackhawk Down" a couple of weeks ago...

Why does the media need to rehash all these stupid sayings by repulsive people/movie titles?

A new feed for my shared blog articles

If anyone actually reads this, then here's another Dud RSS feed: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/15446787451080116517 It's Google's "shared" blog entries, that I can place there by tagging any blog entry that I read with the "shared" button. The first shared entry is the "Genesis", i.e. Anna Gerber's post on using Google Reader rather than Bloglines. I noticed that Bloglines was getting increasingly slow, and rendering blog entries increasingly badly (especially ones with embedded YouTube or other video feeds). Google Reader, however, makes it look almost the same (background colour and font aside) as on the orginal source. |<
