08: 03 - In Retrospect to my Last Post.

Saturday, February 24, 2007

Written by: Dee4leeds

In retrospect to my last post I guess I was very harsh. Murdoch has picked up his ball and gone home. So lets not kill him, still kill his empire, just stick him in some death camp, Camp Delta will do fine. I want anyone using Murdoch branded items move away, give his bussiness the crippling striking blow it needs.

22: 37 - I'm Bored, Again

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

Written by: Melaisis

So what does Mel do when he's bored! Writes a blog entry, of course! Now, the reason for my lack of posting lately is really not concerned with my social and personal life. I haven't - as many of you may know - been overtly busy with my relations of recent times (unless, of course, you have knowledge of my really private issues). No, my lack of posting is because of other reasons, too. Like, for instance, the lack of things to talk about in the media. Seriously, for shame, television stations of Britain: This will simply not do. No one cares about Bird Flu - as it didn't even kill one person in the UK, nevermind hardly a considerable number outside of the Far East. What happened to the possibility that 'millions could die'? Or that 'a pandemic is inevitable'. Neither of those two things actually happened. H4N1 hasn't (and most likely won't) mutate into some sort of deadly, T-Virus-wannabe and provided the world with some sort of cheap population control. It hasn't, either, called for the culling of thousands upon thousands of poultry. In fact, the only avian genocide to talk place on a considerable scale due to the threat of flu is only those which have been forced in Asia. Even then this is hardly a great loss to the meat-eating world. Oh no! What will I do without my great, badly plucked chicken from half way across the world now!? Wait, hang on, I never ate them in the first place! Oh, and our little British problem with Bernard Matthews? Who buys that stuff anyway!?

So, what else has been in the news? Er... well... that thing.

You know, the thing?

That happened?

That time?

So, reader, if you're a quick thinker, slow reader or perhaps both - then you may be thinking 'He's on about the letter bomber!' or 'American friendly-fire blokes!'. Yeah, well, you're wrong. Neither of those events were actually that interesting. What happened to the big-scale events? None of this pissy 'lulz, letz send non-lethal bombz to pplz!'. What happened to IRA bombings, eh? Now they knew how to do it in style! Blowing up hotels where the prime minister is staying? Fuck yeah! 'Causing a civil war off-shore to fight against the monarchy? Damn right! Does anyone know why this kidda started letter-bombing? I sure don't. Was it for a revolutionary cause? I'm willing to bet it wasn't. And if it was; I definately want no part of it.

Ack, now I'm trying to make humour out of seemingly supporting acts of terrorism?

Please, readers, do me a favour: GIVE ME NEWS TO WRITE ABOUT.

15: 49 - Beautiful Flashes Before My Inferior Eyes.

Written by: Dee4leeds

Come on now...who says Lost is getting worse?

Well you, "Mr. I-think-Lost-is-getting-worse-every-week" watch this weeks episode and now bow down to your masters Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof.

Superb this week (HA! Like every week! (except that frightfully awful Charlie episode) *Shudders* Unclean!) And ended even better...CHARLIE IS GOING TO DIE!

So anyway this was a Desmond Flashback, a great 3 dimensional character with a dark and interesting background, and therefore and a great episode. So then, it deals with the ever growing mystery of "How can Desmond see the future?" Answer? His life flashed before his eyes when he turned the fail safe key, and since the flashes have court up with him in the present and he can now see and alter the future but the problem is that "fate has a way of course correcting." This means if you saved a man from being ran over he would be crush by falling scaffolding the next day, if you stopped that from happening, the next day he might slip in the shower and break his neck. This is the idea the episode is based on. Basically, as this post is UK pace and can say what I like, we are shown that Desmond was never trying to save Claire, he was trying to save Charlie. The lightning hit Claire's tent but Charlie was electrocuted, Desmond changed this. Charlie drowned trying to save Claire, Desmond changed this. But by the end of the episode Desmond tells Charlie he is not going to save him anymore and Charlies time is up.

Head cracking right? Well watch it maybe it will make more sense.

Rating: 5/5 - Best...Lost...ever.

Next Week - Episode 309 - Stranger in a Strange Land

09: 45 - Not in Punland

Monday, February 12, 2007

Written by: Dee4leeds

It's back...

...and I couldn't be happier!

So then this the premiere of the rest of season 3 and started with an Others Flashback. Yes that's right an Others Flashback. As you may or may not of realised I try to do something different every time with these reviews but theres only so many I can do. So here's my next attempt...

Flashback

A Juliet Flashback.

OK I'll admit it the flashback was kind of a let down, all it really did was confirm there is such a thing as a "DHARMA Recruiter" (Of which I have always denied were real, maybe that is why I was a fan of the flashback.) Although good to see Ethan in the episodes. Overall: 3/5

Real Time

Now here's where the episode came into it's own. Action packed, thought provoking and (especially in the this episode) truly creepy. So I will just focus of the creepy.



Creepy right? No, try it without any preconceived opinions and full surround sound! CREEPY. What was they trying to do to Karl? Why was Sawyer hypnotised by it but not Alex or Kate? Does it only effect males? Is this where Walt was taken? What's in the other rooms? etc.

Before I end this blog entry one more thing this episode confirmed, Ben is Alex's father, if its biological or adoptive is still unconfirmed. Overall 5/5

Next Week - Episode 308 - Flashes Before Your Eyes

16: 52 - If I Didn't Mention This I Would Be Foolish

Tuesday, February 06, 2007

Written by: Melaisis

Now, in hindsight, the topic sounded a lot more amusing to write about this morning - when it was feastured on GMTV (That's Good Morning Television for all you Yanks). That's right, folks. The British Government are tightening up on paedophiles. Wahey! About bloody time, I'd say. Of course, making this a press release and bringing the subject of THE INTERNETS back into the public (and media's) eye via means of child predators was probably not the wisest move to be ever made by the cabinet to date; but alas! I cannot complain. When I first got word of this great revolution in technological-crime-fighting, I was about to rejoice! Ah, but then, the plan was revealed and my faith was drowned once and for all. Let's see what the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6333673.stm) has to say!

Sex offenders could be forced to register their e-mail addresses and chatroom names, the government says.

Well, that's failed already. You don't even need to read the rest of the article to predict the counter arguments. The shouts of "But you can change your identity in a matter of seconds!" can be heard from a mile away. Apparently, the untechologically savvy morons in government think that registering their bank accounts online is going to be much like registering your e-mail or new chat handle. Since you are reading this blog, my dear er... audience, then you know as well as I do how easy it is to simply flip from being one person - to having one alias - to another. Or at least I would assume so; for after all, you are ON THE INTERNETS. E-mails can be set up in a matter of moments. Chatroom names? A matter of seconds. These politicians seem to think that every time we sign up for a social networking site we must send in our birth certificate and national insurance number to prove that we are who we say we are. In fact, you don't have to prove anything. Not even your fecking gender! Simply tracking these paedophiles through a registered e-mail or chatroom name isn't going to be the easiest of tasks. Neigh on the impossible, in reality. What are they going to do, hm? Make hourly checks on these paedophiles to make sure their e-mail is staying fresh and child free? Oh, no. You can delete e-mails. How about they track their activity through IP addresses? Well, that's fucked as well - since changing your IP is as easy as 'Turn modem off. Turn it on.'. How about they rig a paedophile's PC with spyware on purpose to, well, spy on them. Except that can be easily cracked - oh, and probably violates some sort of human right. It stands: The Internet is far too dynamic for people to stick around with one, constantly monitored e-mail. So sorry, British government - your plan is flawed even before it has been put into action. A running theme it seems?

If everyone had a single internet identity for life, like a National Insurance number, this would make it far easier to track people, he said.

Not bad, to be honest. I personally wouldn't be too happy with a number pinned to me throughout my Internet existance (I prefer Melaisis far more, but I suppose it really isn't that different). Regardless, it gives people a sense of identity - but at the same time takes away the thing that the Internet is famous for! A great feeling of anonyminity! What if you couldn't lose your past on the Internet? What if something you posted on a message board four or five years ago always comes back to haunt you? Or you were caught cybering that time and - because of this number - people will always know who you are. Frightening, isn't it? That you will never be able to move on because you'll be forever tied to this same number. Over. And over. Scary. So really, tying everyone to a permament, tracking, online number (That I suppose you have to enter to sign up for e-mail accounts and whatnot) is a rather bad idea. And besides, what if your number if found out and - heck, used against you? In ten years will we see the formation of 'forged/frauded Internet users'? Blamed for crimes they didn't commit? Once again, the government fucks themselves over.

After all, the Americans deal with paedophiles themselves quite well already, using technology that is already there. Of course, it required a bit of intiative to set up the scheme (something our administration lacks) - but it has worked pretty damn well. Check out Perverted Justice when you have time. Basically, it's a site where the owners and volunteers disguise themselves as small children, go baiting for paedophiles to talk to them, then literally 'reel them in': Posting the paedophile's picture (and sometimes the explicit results of many a webcam conversation), e-mail, handle (hah!) phone number and many other such details on their website. Either the paedophile turns themselves in to the authorities, ammends themselves, or sulks off in a dark corner for a few years. It works. It's effective. It scares the shit out of paedophiles. After all, what if the horny conversation you're having with this kid you think is 13 actually ends up being posted on a website which gets 10,000 hits a day? Disturbing stuff, I think you'll agree. It makes child predators more wary and sometimes the mere existance of said website puts them off for good. Why can't such a thing exist in the United Kingdom?

And finally:

Mr Reid said: "We already have probably the toughest regime in Europe for identifying sex offenders.

I feel sorry for the rest of Europe.

Next time: Rant on people 'not avoiding paedophiles'.

16: 52 - If I owned...

Sunday, February 04, 2007

Written by: Dee4leeds

So you have probably realised an obvious theme in my blog entries...Television.

So now it's time for another TV related entry...

"If I owned five and five US..."

So basically I was think of making this one of those reoccurring blog entries but I decided against it on the grounds that it would be the same programming every time. Anyway back on topic (Wasn't that on topic?) I will only be doing prime time: 7 - 11pm. (Don't care for daytime TV other than Jeremy Kyle and This Morning.) This is done in "What I would like to see" and "What would get the most ratings."
