Government, Kids, The Internet, and Large Balloons
Laugh, I nearly choked.
There I was minding my own business munching my way through a bacon sausage and egg fryup for saturday lunch when Radio Four wheeled out the usual suspects for "The News Quiz" a thinly veiled excuse for those for whom Gordon Brown is a step too far to the right to take a dig at pretty much anyone else really. But this time they excelled themselves. First up comes the mandatory dig at Diddy Dhimmi David Cameron for his ideas on "cooperatives".
Then the token ethnic on the panel gets to take a swing at Nick Griffin for last week's superb job at outwitting the EHRC racists. First she says she's just come back from South Africa and felt the urge to ring our leader and call him an "utter, utter amateur" but then she says she's she's minded to join us as she's british but could have quite a few holidays on the back of our policy to generously fund those british citizens who wish to renounce their british citizenship and become citizens of another country. Nice one you show your utter ignorance of the actual offer by failing to notice you have to surrender your british citizenship to take the money.In you case though love we'll have a whipround and send you anywhere you like, one way.
Next up was the Mossad Israeli British Passport Identity Theft calamity. Best quote I ever heard on that story on Sky TV actually was that "well these days it's getting that there's so much CCTV you just can't appear out of the shadows, do a state sanctioned assassination and melt into the shadows again any more". Cue an opportunity for some sort of joke about a supposed stand up comedian who turns up at passport control announces his occupation as "Stand Up Comedian" and is quizzzed by a sceptical immigration officer when they spot the stamp in the passport for KUWAIT.
"I was invited out there to entertain the troops" our supposed stand up comic delivers in stiff upper lip tones. At which the chastened immigration official stands to attention salutes and waves our hero in .... leaving him to mutter under his breath as he passes into the customs hall "yeah, saddam's revolutionary guard really appreciated me"
But then they redeemed themselves of all their sin by outlining the disaster that was "Buster's World"
To coincide with SAFE INTERNET SURFING DAY the DirectGov website launched a kids section called Buster's World. Buster in this case is a faithful hound who seems to me to remarkably resemble a cross between Homer and Bart's "Santas Little Helper" and Scooby-Doo.
Why the choice of Buster ? Well, wikipedia will show you several famous examples of "man's best friend" bearing the name and since some of them are left wing politicians I suppose it's only to be expected. Google will pull up a number of references to the grief felt by Paul O Grady (yes, HIM !) at having to put his faithful companion down, but that doesnlt mean it was not genuine or heartfelt.
But why oh why did the tossers who invented this website for kids not think to make google their friend BEFORE they named their cotton wool lined catoon fun world for kids. Because while there is a website www.bustersworld.net dedicated to the life and times of this cuddly little canine ....

There is also a website www.bustersworld.com. PLEASE don't go there from a computer your employer pays you to use. OR on an internet connection they have the means to monitor. For it is a site dedicated to gay men with a fetish for bare arse bareback riding of monster latex balloons.
What manner of tosser is allowed to take government money to develop websites for educating kids about safe surfing yet fails to put the nameof their creation into google. The only alternative explanation is that these people WANT our kids to find pictures of naked obese men doing strange things with semitransparent latex balloons the size of spacehoppers in rooms whose walls are lined with mirrors.
Those who believe I jest feel free to copy and paste this link. DONT say I didn't warn you. http://www.bustersworld.com/images/bwpreview007_big.jpg
