English headline: terror. Australian headline: dog sex
Due to the disproportionate amount of time I spend randomly trawling the web while working I try to keep up with Australian news websites as well as English web and there is definately a different flavour left by each. I love the BBC and the Guardian/Observer, but English news is very predictable. I suppose it is aimed at the English people, who are also quite predictable. There is a large emphasis placed on left vs. right wing over here and you can see the battle being played out everywhere, especially when it comes to which paper you buy and what websites you read your news on. It is not fair but I find myself judging someone if they are buying a rag like the Daily Mail.
Guardian will do a cover story talking about corruption charges or a military Generals comments on where the war is going, on the same day the Daily Mail will cover with a picture of people at a Romanian bus stop in a poor town stating 'They are coming to the U.K. to rape our daughters' and will compare the tits of an English girl and an Iraqi to determine the current status of the war - on both fronts.. hah.
Australian news seems to be alot less polarising. It still has quirks, any statistics or numbers in general in the Daily Telegraph seem to be doubled compared to any other papers but reading a specific paper does not seem to make such a comment about the reader as it does in the U.K.
The front page of www.bbc.co.uk today was quite stock standard- Pavorotti passes, Talks to be held on Darfur, Hunt for Germany terror suspects, Syria fires on Israel, Mosquito virus enters U.K. Compare this with www.smh.com.au- Pavorotti passes, Chaser team arrested for APEC prank, Girl gives kiwi a kick in the 'bills', Child porn arrests made, Sex abuse of dog under investigation(..wtf).
The Australian news seems to carry the inherent nationalism subtly displayed by alot of Australians. If it did not happen in Australia, then who cares? Maybe it follows from the geographical distance between Australia and 'the world'
Here is the dog sex article - http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/s ex-abuse-of-dog-under-investigation/2007/0 9/06/1188783391472.html
Quite disgusting, there are sick fucks about. It is especially cruel to leave the dog on a highway afterwards for someone else to discover, if you are happy to ream it in half and dislocate its hip then you may as well kill it afterwards for its own good, or could the bastard not bear to do it after the connection he had made (with his knob).
I do not think bestiality is something I will ever understand. I remember someone breaking into the agriculture plot at my highschool when I was 13 or 14 and raping one of the sheep so bad it would never walk again. What is a teacher really meant to tell the kids? Do you have to keep farm animals in locked cages when they live in urban areas? How can you possibly counter the desires of the devious. If you lock up your sheep you might find someone has snuck into your backyard and fingered your hamster or something.
