Wow. For a moment there I actually thought you might have started a non-political thread. Silly me. :rolleyes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

1 - Ze caption, I cannot see eet! (But I guess it's the Sky News one?)

2 - Sandwich, after the amount of people I had to grin and smile at last night at my mate's engagement party (which really thinking "WTF?"), you can tolerate Kazan for all of two threads.

Somebody will be getting sacked* for that one- and getting bought a round of drinks.

*Sky News is, of course, owned by a certain Mr Murdoch.  Unlike FOX, it's legally bound to portray an unbiased viewpoint under UK licensing law.

The "mood" has been overdone, for quite sometime now.  The never ending amount of these threads is just rediculous.

Doesn't bother me, besides, just anyone on this board if they saw their leader with 'Biggest Disaster to Hit this country' labelled under them, would probably have a good laugh at it ;)

Actually, I agree; there have been far too many amusingly unfortunate word-plays on this board in recent days!

Exactly. This is exactly the sort of thing I was on about in the NO relief topic. Someone posts a picture of George Bush and someone else completely over reacts to it.

And it's not even just the caption itself. The fact that it says Sky News Flash/Breaking News right next to it just improves the joke :)

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Or with TiVo you could just rewind to it and then take a picture. Reflexes are not necessary in this day and age.

:D  I would be but if they're like News 24 they cycle the caption giving the person plenty of time to grab the camera before it came around again :)

The shots not a screencap DC or we'd have all the text :D

What's TiVo?

(If it's what I think it is, they went pretty much bankrupt over here 4 or 5 years ago and stopped making them)

If Kazan had left out the "so true," I'd be laughing just as much as any of you over what is admittedly a very funny headline.  As it is, I'll try my best to overlook the political element. :p
