Tales of Drudgery and Boredom

Michel Vuijlsteke's Weblog. Altijd al geprobeerd een dagboek bij te houden.

I've moved
My new address is http://blog.zog.org.
Not because I was immensely dissatisfied with Radio, just because TypePad is the better service. That, and Robb's Law: I don't want to have a weblog (any website really) on a domain that I don't own.

Ik ben verhuisd
Mijn nieuw adres is http://blog.zog.org.
Niet omdat ik heel erg ontevreden was van Radio, maar gewoon omdat TypePad beter is. En omdat ik er een website kan hebben op mijn eigen domeinnaam.

Bush "professional fascist"

New Zealand's TV3 unexpectedly put on a graphic that described President George Bush as a "professional fascist" for a few seconds during primetime news.

The real graphic was supposed to announce an upcoming weather report.

TV3 spokesman Roger Beaumont said the network was thoroughly investigating the mislabelled graphic.

"It was an absolute case of human error. The fact that it made it to air was extremely unfortunate and we apologise for any offence that may have been taken.

"What I can assure you is that it was a completely unintentional mistake."

The TV station apologises for the incidence, and don't rule out diciplinary action against whoever is responsible. Even though it was completely unintentional. Sure! 

[Secular Blasphemy]

It's getting better all the time.

Then again: couldn't, to be honest, get no worse.

Maar toch goed.
