crevlthe's stuff.

Now, I've been trying to really stop myself from lumping out posts everyday, since that's counter-productive in my work flow, so I'll do my proper article some time next week or something.

(I'll have you know, I'm writing a review on a game right now which I'll publish sometime later.)

So perhaps, the posts I do in between those will probably be little findings I've found during an eventful week. :D

First of all: here's a story my friend Kenzo over at Subtle Suspense (go read that blog as well :P) found, and I thought you might get round to reading as well.

Now, I'm not sure where our world has really gone in the world of journalism, but seriously, WTF were they thinking when they wrote that?!

"Yeah, its great. We're the BBC; let's write something that'll make us sound completely mad, but its fine, because we are ultra fail at doing April-Fools on live television."

It seems as though we are rather surrounded in a world of idiots, who push and clam their way to the front of the queue, then forget why they were there in the first place. Utter no brainer.

But, I guess without these douches, we would have a nice boring world and we wouldn't have the occasional Ms Hall to laugh at in English. *hint hint*

Recently, my friends have decided to name themselves on Facebook after "that Bieber dude" and form a ridiculous faction of Justins (irony my name is that too). Now, the world really really really doesn't need a collection of Biebers, let me grant you that. Its a good thing I don't pay much attention to my news feed, or I would certainly go a bit nutty in the head.

In addition to that, I also found this rather smart add-on for Firefox; now before you go slump away and say, "great, you've found an addition. what else?" This may actually make you turn heads. Let me link you there: Link here

Now, for those who aren't prepared to click a link (simply because you might be wondering where the hell it links; i.e. "OMGWTFBBQ IS THAT A RICKROLL?! LOLOLOLOLOL... etc" maybe I should tell you what it does instead.

Here is the magic: it removes every trace (no kidding) or tag of any reference to Justin Bieber. (no kidding) Seriously, I felt this developer could have spent his time much more wisely - idk, he could have gone to get dinner or something, or maybe go get ... you know. If you don't want to add a Firefox extension though, you can add a bookmarklet which you click everytime you go on a page. Shave here!

Moving on.

Now, back to the topic of rubbish journalism. Where would we be without their silly mistakes in newspapers, lurking in those tedious articles with the obstructive adverts and the rather outrageous pictures of people doing stupid things. Which is why, I would like to share some of my favourites of the pick.

Here's a nice "authentic" bear for you to give a nice hug.
