Ah, \'Issues\'
 

This is funny...Sorta.

As you may or may not know, we here in Canada recently elected a conservative Prime Minister (President, for those of you down south).

And the liberal media where I live has already seized on the important; nay, the critical issue of the moment.

See, Stephan Harper (Our PM), drove his children (6 year old daughter, 12 year old son) to school, and then, in a dasterdly act only a horrible father could contemplate, Shook their hands, instead of hugging them! In front of all their friends!

This has been in the paper for a few days now; at it's latest, in an online poll.

How, in any way, shape or form, is this even the countries' business?

This whole thing gives me a nice, warm glow. I mean, if this is all the 'dirt' they could find on him... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Hey, at least your head of state didn't choke on a pretzel and have the media cover it for a full WEEK.

Owch, choking on a pretzel probably hurts, you know! And anyway there's plenty of other trash they can use against SOBush[/troll]

This is a serious problem, just follow the reasoning:

1. This clearly shows the Canadian PM is emotionally stunted who doesn't love his children.
2. If he can't even love his own children, how can he love the country?
3. If he doesn't love the country he must hate it.
4. If he hates the country he's a terrorist.
5. The only Canadian terrorist are from Quebec.
6. Thus he's a seperatist Quebecian terrorist working to bring Canada down from the inside.

Thus, using logic, you can prove that this is a deeply serious issue of national interest.

...Ok, I'm trumped.

What, you mean you still expect real news from major news media? Especially TV? Its all just sensationalist drivel designed to boost ratings or sell ad space...

Re: Ah, \'Issues\'
 

It's no mystery. Like us on this forum, the news media will be desperate for news until SE V comes out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Ah, \'Issues\'
 

What's sadder is according to an online poll, 42% think it's actually an issue.

IF has hit the nail on the head. Actual news of importance doesn't make money. That's why the main news channels in the US have sunk to sensationalism and mimicking the "scandal rags" that reside at the checkout lines in our supermarkets...because it/they make money. Given a wad of the population that plops down in front of the TV to watch Jerry Springer or the more refined version of bull----, reality programming (which really ISN'T reality), it's no surprise.

Keep the masses stupid and uneducated and feed them "pablum" and you (translation: the government) can do what you wish.
