It's a real shame, actually, because once upon a time America was where everyone wanted to be. It's going to take 50 years to undo what's happening right now. Look at Germany.

Do US presenters actually have lessons in being maudlin?

This extremely pretty dull. Colbert seems to be asking all the most obvious questions that European interviewers have been asking their politicians for decades.

And the fact that a bunch of his friends turned up, probably looking for someone to blame other than their idiot.

An old but great video. Geller is a fraud.

And a lot of cookies make their way to Israel:

"Since 1949 the U.S. has given Israel a total of $83.205 billion. The interest costs borne by U.S. tax payers on behalf of Israel are $49.937 billion, thus making the total amount of aid given to Israel since 1949 $133.132 billion. This may mean that U.S. government has given more federal aid to the average Israeli citizen in a given year than it has given to the average American citizen."

It's a strange old place, the US.

I THOUGHT ALL AMERICANS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BEAUTIFUL

To which London bombing do you refer?

London has been the target of more than a dozen terrorist attacks since 1980, yet the UK government never resorted to spreading a culture of fear. The Provisional IRA (funded almost exclusively by American money, I might add) were just a part of daily life here: I was working in London on 24th April 1993 and heard the bomb go off. And like almost everyone else I was back in the city the next day.

It's only a recent development that the US and UK governments are having us believe that a small band of lunatics who are behind a small number of atrocities are now worthy of a global "war". Anyone who worked in London and heard the daily reports of terrorist murders on the news will surely be as perplexed as I am.

Watch the whole documentary, not just this 2 mins (why is this teaser here when the entire series is available for free download?)

This nicely sums up Family Guy's descent into the realms of cookie-cutter humour. Season 4 just wasn't funny.

The game uses NaturalMotion's new euphoria software. I don't see why anyone would knock this as "simplistic" when a) nobody's actually seen euphoria working inside a finished game, and b) it's been developed by the same company responsible for the endorphin dynamic motion engine. This should mean that future titles built using the technology will have no need for pre-programmed animations.

This is basically a promo flick for a cult called Ramtha's School of Enlightenment, using a distortion of quantum physics to support some rubbish new age mystical viewpoint. My hope is that people laugh at it rather than believe any of it.

People have been daubing messages on bridges for decades, and the anti-war sentiments in this film are trite even if I happen to agree with them.

HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT ME!!!!!

So far we've established that the Internet is for:

1. Porn
2. Exhibitionists

Can anyone think of any other uses? Perhaps we should get shot of it.

"THE FIRST RELIABLE COMPUTER WAS BUILT BY AN AMERICAN."

Sometimes you can only laugh at silly US propaganda.
