This Week (04-Oct-2004)
This week I went to see little Mical, she’s so tiny! I must be getting sentimental =sniff=
What else? Well… Over in England, people are getting exited about football (again). First off, an American business wants to buy up quite a large share in Manchester United FC, Ltd. Corp. and that’s a big no-no. How the hell are you gonna let the country that calls a national baseball title “The World Series” get involved with British football? How the hell can a football club gain so much financial power that it becomes a visible financial target instead of a frigging football club?
The Spanish coach, who should remain nameless as he is clueless, made a silly mistake. The coach told a player of the Spanish national team that he’s better than his fellow striker at Arsenal, Thierry Henry. Little detail: the coach emphasized this by “colouring” his words, which got headlines in the English tabloids, accusing the coach of being racist. Wow, what’s scary? The fact that the mistake was made or that a camera crew just happened to be there when the mistake was made?
What else? Well.. Janet Leigh passed away. Final shower curtain for a classic actress.
What else? Well.. Rumsfeld happened.. Silly rabbit. “No, our judgement wasn’t sound because of the wrong intelligence.” [insert media spin, shake for three hours] “No our intelligence wasn’t wrong and that’s why our judgement still remains sound”. One day later another American enquiry testified before Congress (or the House, dunno.. it’s not like it’s my prerogative to be factual) and reported that there still aren’t any WMD’s to be found.
What else? Well.. I got bored again, so I googled this up for ya: Fierljeppen
What else? Well.. Over in Holland we got the infotainment show coming up, letting the audience to vote for the Greatest Dutchman (person, if you wanna get all PC about it). The shows producers are still busy working on the shortlist, but during their research they discovered a very painful thing: Anne Frank isn’t Dutch, she didn’t receive Dutch citizenship when she came over from Germany as a refugee. Well, these things happened and still do, but what really made me wanna become a refugee and ask for human asylum, was the way the public and especially the politicians reacted. The politicians wanted to grant her citizenship posthumously, the sick hypocritical bastards! You should’ve heard the wankers make their comments in the media, any soundbite to get their profile.
