2. Pakistan blocks YouTube over blasphemous video

Comment #133336 by cursor on February 26, 2008 at 4:55 am

If copyright has been infringed, individual videos are removed from the site. Record companies and film studios do not try to block the whole site from an entire country.

If someone's been offended by a single video, why not just request that it is removed rather than deny the rationally-minded population of Pakistan the millions of other videos on YouTube?

3. Council pays psychic for exorcism

I'm obviously in the wrong job! Perhaps local councils will now start to employ psychics and mediums on a permanent basis! I also predict a minority of those living in council accommodation will claim their house is possessed by Satan and put in a request for a "clean" house (preferably with five bedrooms). :)

4. 2007, a bad year for God squadders

That God would choose to come among us in such a way is so strange, so inexplicable, so unbelievable, it compels us to believe.

That spoilt it for me.

Stars simply don't behave like that, he told the BBC during an interview.

I think I heard Patrick Moore insist the "star" was probably a meteorite of some sort.

6. Atheists' sign sparks controversy

It's like a bizarre game of poker.

"I see your Imagine No Religion poster and raise you a Christmas tree".

I wonder if they're just as offended by Lennon's song?

7. Chimps beat humans in memory test

Anyone else not able to see this on the mac? I can't figure out what codec I need.


Me neither. I followed the link to the BBC article and watched the Real stream instead.
