Brits under The Sun

Two Britons, expatriate workers I presume, were sitting in front of me this morning in the subway, discussing yesterday's issue of the british paper The Sun and its monomaniac anti-Frog-article-of-the-day. Excerpts:

  • ...this is a shame for all the United Kingdom...
  • ...Rupert Murdoch is an dangerous imbecile; he controls that paper...
  • ...I can't believe ten million people read this shit every day...
  • ...wonder if the journalists even noticed the millions of people in London's streets against this stupid war...
  • ...in fact, all Europe should be proud of current french attitude, Tony Blair is Bush's little pet...
  • ...they should shut it up; the only contribution to the world of this paper is Page 3, and there is nothing to be proud of...
  • ...I don't want to move back to UK. Do you ? Life is good here, don't you think ?...

At the same time, two French, a young woman and an older man, old enough to have personal memories of WWII, were discussing the same article right behind my seat. The comments were more direct and two excerpts summarize them well:

  • ...this is fascism and whoever controls that newspaper is a fascist...
  • ...does not surprise me that a newspaper like that one tries to influence british working class with fascist themes like that one...

Stylesheet addendum

Karl Dubost almost convinced me during discussions in CSS WG that we may need a way to show the target named anchor in a document. So I have changed a little bit the stylesheet of this blog. If you access directly to one blog entry with a URL having a fragment indentifier, it will be outlined in a very visible way if you use a browser implementing the :target pseudo-class. Hey Karl, happy ?-)

Click here to visualize the effect.

And don't forget French consider fries to be Belgian

Despite of what thinks Anthony, this decision only shows the opportunism - and global stupidity - of the marketing manager of that "restaurant" chain. Oh, by the way, only Americans can call a place where you eat only junk-burger-food and french fries in a box a "restaurant".

Semantic Beer

Tristan, Karl, do you really know what is a semantic beer ??? It's only <beer/>. It's empty and you know it's a beer looking at the name of the element. That's not funny, and I will always prefer a good plain ol'beer with real malt, bubbles and less semantic.
