"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

BLOODY HELL! There’s too much swearing on television. I just heard the newsreader on CNN talking about the ‘’bloody military crackdown in Myanmar’’. Don’t get me wrong, I condemn what the junta are doing but I just don’t think that language like that is going to achieve anything. I also think that the word damn is used too much in the media too. E.g. ‘’rescuers continue to look for survivors at the scene of yesterdays damn collapse in northeast China’’. I think that ‘’collapse’’ will do sufficiently without the use of profanities thank you very much.
