Watch Watch II

Sources close to Labour Watch have confirmed their colleagues at the interestingly driven Liberal Democrat Watch are supported by the trade union Amicus, and closely allied with Labour MP Tom Watson.

Relative Values

Peter Cuthbertson on CBS being fined over the Janet Jackson nipple furore:

"What bothers me about this episode is the way the smug superiority of those who laugh laugh at those prudish yanks so often combines with an equal fervent crusade against the images of anyone carrying cigarettes or guns.

A few months after Janet Jackson's semi-naked moment was shown in front of millions of families, Britain banned a TV advertisement because it featured someone firing a starting pistol. It's not the Americans who are the odd ones here."

What Peter neglects to say, is that it is only at the pay-off of the advert it is revealed that the gun is in fact a starting pistol, up until that point we were supposed to think the woman was reaching for a real gun with violent intentions. Implied gun violence vs fleeting partial nudity. Hmm.

Watch Watch

Both Liberal Democrat Watch and the UKIP backed Dunnin have hysterically latched on to the non-story of Jody Dunn’s weblog being hosted on German servers. Do we live in an open market or don’t we. This is particularly hypocritical of Dunin, who originated the story, whose blog, like this one, is hosted on American servers!

As noted by Comical Tommy.
