TV (Terrible Viewing)

 Whether you love werewolves and vampires, singing sensations or watching your beloved team lift that silverware live; there's TV for everyone. Or at least there was. Gone are the days when a family would huddle together around a box the size of a washing machine to watch her majesty the Queen to perform a speech on the one and only channel that existed. Instead, in are the days of multi-room TV and heaps of viewing material to see at any one time. Yet something's gone wrong! Quantity appears to be enveloping the need for quality as the ratings fall the floor. This portal to another world has transformed from a passion for entertainment to a 24-7 babysitter. Sad much? I think so!
 Take 'The Apprentice' as an example of today's decaying broadcasting ability. Now in its 7th series and becoming a bit repetitive, the money sucking parasites known as the BBC decided to accept even more arrogant and irritating a*******s then ever before. What makes that good TV? The answer, it doesn't. It makes these so called business 'experts' make complete, in the words of dear Lord Sugar himself, schmucks of themselves.
 With the likes of sky and Virgin expanding into the great depths of 3d and beyond, who knows what we'll be able to watch in the near future. Let's just hope that something improves, for our sakes and sanity!

Nearly there

Out of luck and out of job

 In this current economic climate the nation is struggling to remain on its feet and many are still searching for a job as unemployment levels rise. However the generation facing the biggest difference to years gone by is us teens. The young budding fruit of today's modern society who, no matter how smart they are or how much potential they posses, can't find a suitable source of income.
 I've spent the last month and a half scouring the internet every day in a desperate attempt to find that job to help overcome my forthcoming hurdle of car ownership. But no! "Sorry Sir but it's not yet June, we can't accept you here.", "Sorry young man but there are people with slight more experience at putting boxes on shelves then you.".
 So the older generation have the advantage. If you gave the owner of Tesco supermarkets a 34 year old man called Keith who has spent the last two years watching documentaries about fornicating dolphins and suicidal chimpanzee's and a smart 16 year old boy who is just taking his GCSE's then guess who would win. You've got it folks, the job's yours Keith!
 Is it the bad views expressed by the media on our generation? Is it the general belief that generations should stick together? We need to end this job drought for teens and start really letting the best man win!
 While you're there, anybody got a job going? Desperate times here!

Trouble at The Ritz

 As hundreds of thousands of angry protesters took to the streets of London yesterday to display their anguish with the governments latest cut-backs and changes, trouble seemed inevitable. Most of the demonstrators chose to act in peace and normality, a select group chose to lash out and cause some civil unrest.
 A large mob, formed mainly of students, charged though the busy streets of England's capital and destroyed all that they could in their path. The majority of damage was petty vandalism however one key target of violence was the infamous Ritz hotel. All of the downstairs windows were smashed by the crazed citizens and the landmark golden sign was covered with streaks of yellow paint.
 When will the madness end? How can it end? Check back for more.

Meet the iPad 2

 Well we can't say we didn't see this one coming, the predecessor of Apple's infamous iPad was revealed on March the 2nd and goes by the inventive name of...the iPad 2. The update was quite a substantial change, bringing features such as 2 cameras (One front facing and one rear), a new super fast dual-core A5 processor and now comes in both black and white. The tablet is now just 8.8mm compared to the previous 13mm making it thinner than the iPhone 4. The device is expected to once again lead the way in the battle of the tablets and is likely to make the American tech-giants an awful lot of money once again. The question is, would you buy one?
