Who really cares?

Am I the only one that really doesn't care that a couple of Australian Olympic Swimmers posed for a photo holding guns and loaded it onto facebook.....they were not holding the guns to the heads of anyone or holding-up a 7 Eleven - so what is the problem? I would love to hear from you if you do care, you can explain to me why and how it affects your life and that of the Australian public and their Olympic dreams?  Apparently the pair showed 'a lack of judgement'?  so are being publicly flogged by the media. I am sad to see the Australian Olympic committee fold under the media pressure....grow some backbone! Next we will be banning live exports of Olympic athletes.

As far as I can see this is another classic example of persecution by media. The media whips itself into a 'no-news-day' frenzy of one-up-manship and then whom ever they are targeting is hunted down and bullied into submission.  Over and over we are hearing these types of news stories, that appear to be invented from a member of the media, picked up by other media and a herd/pack mentality sees the story grow from nothing to a national disgrace and usually under the guise of public interest. I DON'T CARE....I REALLY, REALLY DON'T CARE, they haven't done anything wrong. I bet most of you haven't given it another moments thought......but someone, somewhere has decided that we are outraged.

    Rules to Blog

    - No targeting or personal attacks on individuals or groups, businesses etc.
    The idea is to let of steam in a general way and it is more about things that irk and irritate rather than attacking and destroying.
     
    - Gloom free zone
    :- the intention is to have a positive result not a negative one and perhaps turn a difficult situation into one of humor and seeing the lighter side of these issues, e.g. a problem shared
    is a problem halved.

    - No swearing or suggestive comments
    (I am aware that this is becoming a fuzzy line, but this will ultimately be up
    to pleasemissme.com to decide).

    - Any other rules that
    pleasemissme.com see fit to add as they are
    needed.

    - All submissions for the blog will be checked before release.

    - legal disclaimers (because we have to)
