Three years ago today thousands of people around the world switched to their local news channels. Of course, I don't need to tell you what people were watching because we've had it shoved in our faces everyday since then (not including the times when politicians bring it up during election scare tactics... but I shall not speak any further on this topic because there are all ready too many politically-driven blogmeisters on this wide, brown, unpleasant land).

Anyhoo... I was one of the hapless that constantly watched the news and web (and still do). Rather than out of fear however, I like to keep informed so that I can disprove the theory that my generation is a pack of halfwits (although you can usually spot a contemporary portion of dense Aussie yoofs as they are often clad in Rah Rah Skirts, leggings or trucker caps). My tool of choice of course is news.com.au.

Yet, this morning when I opened my browser in search for fresh political/media spin, I was pleasantly surprised by the headline bar:

Major update on the status of the Aussie election: CHECK

Allegations that Bush did coke at Camp David: CHECK

Ummmm...

Basset hound secures place in Guinness Book of Records for world's longest ears...

CHECK!
