I Aten't Dead

[alexsarll]

...though I did drink rather too much at the weekend, and I am emotionally devastated by the conclusion of The Wire season 4 which, like the book I'm reading about occupied France, seems rather too applicable to the wider world. I remain flabbergasted at the stupidity of offended people (you should all know the Brooker link by now): cf complaints about last week's Ashes to Ashes being inappropriate broadcasting in light of the Suffolkator's trial, even though the episode's substance was precisely the unfortunate prejudices which hamper investigation of crimes against prostitutes. See also: "protesters are claiming the pictures [of Mohammed on Wikipedia] have been posted simply to 'bait' and 'insult' Muslims", even though the pictures are by muslims, albeit rather more civilised ones from 700 years ago. Roll on the reformation, eh?

Oh, and comedy last night: vair good. Even worth changing trains at Paddington for, though next time I would strive to avoid that bit.
