Earth Hour For Cats And Dogs
WHAT kind of a company would sponsor Earth Hour, the
…latest bright idea from the country that gave us “Crocodile Dundee” is to have everyone across the globe turn off their lights for an hour at 8 p.m. Saturday.
Apparently, a bunch of neo-Luddites in Sydney did this last year and it made them feel good about themselves, so they’ve decided to give the rest of the world a chance to achieve a similar sense of self-worth?
A pet food company…

Police Raid In Islington: Sarkozy And Brown Not Arrested
NICOLAS Sarkozy and Gordon Brown are palying football at Arsenal.
The two men toyed with the ball. Both resisted any urge to play head tennis, which always ends in shame for the politico.
It was a simple game of pass and don’t move. Sarko didn’t nutmeg Brown. And Brown didn’t smack the ball into the stands with the cry “‘Ave it!”. How we would have warmed to him had only he done so.
To one side, Arsene Wenger, Arsenal’s erudite manager, looked statesmanlike and in charge.
Meanwhile, about half a mile away, about 600 bobbies in blue boiler suits are yomping down Blackstock Road. It’s the Mail’s “Operation Overkill”. It’s a swoop on drug dealing, money laundering and selling fake documents.

German Food Not As Seen On The Box
GERMAN website, Pundo3000.com, looked at the boxes of 100 different food products and then looked at what lurked within.
Say the Germans food testers: “All products were purchased, the packaging photographed and the contents prepared and photographed too. All products were then eaten up… The purpose of the project is not to discredit any brands or products but to critically compare the packaging advertising with the inside contents”.
You need to see them all:

China Cooks Tibet On An Olympic Torch
ALL eyes are on China thanks to the Beijing Olympics. The BBC’s obession with Israel has been repalced by the realisation of other battles.
“Groups sympathetic to anti-Chinese protesters in Tibet are under assault by cyber attackers who are embedding malware in email that appears to come from trusted colleagues.”
John McCain tells a Chinese reporter: “The people there are being subjected to mistreatment that is not acceptable with the conduct of a world power, which China is.”
And: “His Holiness [Dalii Lama] says we have to be realistic,” says Tenzin Taklha, a senior aide to the 72-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner… “From the exiled Tibetan leaders, there were no calls for sanctions, like those imposed when Myanmar suppressed pro-democracy protests last year, or even a boycott of this summer’s Beijing Olympics.
“It’s an approach that reflects the pragmatism of the Dalai Lama, who has long sought an accommodation based on his “Middle Way” dialogue with Beijing aimed at autonomy for Tibetans under Chinese rule.”
THE BBC: “A week after the initial riots, estimates of how many people were killed and accounts of who was to blame differed wildly. China says 18 civilians and a policeman were killed and hundreds injured. But the Tibetan government-in-exile says at least 99 people have died in the crackdown by Chinese troops.
“During the clampdown, troops have sealed off towns in the surrounding areas where unrest has taken place, according to witnesses. Authorities are not allowing foreign journalists into Tibet.
“Other witnesses have reported seeing hundreds of troop carriers heading for Tibetan areas in recent days. In Gansu, public notices and police broadcasts told protesters to surrender by midnight on 25 March or face arrest and punishment.”
China is eating Tibet alive.
The picture is from a Chinese food market. What is it? And can the Olympic torch arrive in time to cook it?

Ryan Seacret Apparently In Details
RYAN Seacrest is the host of American Idol, the TV talent show.
That’s him on the right. And, apparently, that’s him on the left.
Of course, this is all part of being a celebrity.
In Ebony magazine, we’d expect to see Ryan with darker, curlier hair, more gererous lips and the complexion of a frappucchino. The cover of Swine Practicioner has Ryan with a porcine nose and pinker skin.
And so on…

Ofcom Branded Bottled Water
ANYONE for Ofcom Branded Bottled Water.
It was the Environment Minister, Phil Woolas, who said that the amount of money that people spend on bottled water “borders on being morally unacceptable”.
Tim Lang, the Government’s naural resources commissioner, told us:
“We have to make people think that it’s unfashionable just as we have with smoking. We need a similar campaign to convince people that this is wrong.”
You can read more at the Consumer Council for Water.
Ofcom is the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries.
The Chief Executive is Ed Richards, who was “Senior Policy Advisor to the Prime Minister for Media, telecoms, internet and e-govt. Before that he was Controller of Corporate Strategy at the BBC. He also worked in consulting at London Economics Ltd, as an advisor to Gordon Brown MP.”

The Met’s New Anti-Terrorism Campaign
SAYS the London Metropolitan Police Unit’s new anti-terrorism drive: “IF YOU SUSPECT IT – REPORT IT”:
Londoners are being urged to help stop terrorists in their tracks by reporting suspicious behaviour, in a new counter terrorism advertising campaign launched today.
The Metropolitan Police Service is asking people to trust their instincts and pass on information about any unusual activity or behaviour to the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321.
Listen up:
We want people to look out for the unusual – some activity or behaviour which strikes them as not quite right and out of place in their normal day to day lives.”Terrorists live within our communities, making their plans whilst doing everything they can to blend in, and trying not to raise suspicions about their activities.
Keep ’em peeled!
