Ahoy, Mate!

And the ship sails again, after much trials and tribulations. For some reason, the blog always lets me down when I most need it - but it too is just a puppet at the hand of the spammers. The spam attack was pretty severe and crashed most of the blog on its own.
Anyway, enough for the headlines. Talking of headlines, it is kind of weird how these 24/7 news channels actually come up with so much content to fill themselves up with. Gone are the days when 9 o'clock news lasted only an hour - but could somehow provide more informative concensus on the happenings around the world. Now, it seems like even 24 hours run short to provide the mass of news they have to impart.
A few days ago, the unlucky little boy Prince fell down a 50ft hole. He was rescued successfully only after 50 odd hours. And the news channels made good money out of it - giving live coverage for entire span of time. And its just taking it a step further by asking the kid's parents -

'How do you feel about your child being stuck at the bottom of the pit?'
'Who do you blame for this incident?'
'Do you think you should be reimbursed by the Government?'
'What does your wife feel about all this?'

Well, what can I say - I do believe however that nowadays everybody can achieve their 15 minutes of fame, pretty easily...
