One good thing about the olympics.

[Hetzer]

In order to escape the BBC's relentless outpouring of olympic shite, even turning their 24/7 news into their 30th dedicated olympic's channel, I looked elsewhere and re-discovered Al Jazeera.

AJ ran an article this morning on how the US govt is not prosecuting a single one of the criminals responsible for the 2008 financial collapse, despite multiple investigations showing hundreds of staff of numerous financial institutions, from the bottom to the very top, took part in deliberate pre-meditated massive criminal fraud.

The savings & loan scandal back in 2004, that cost approx $160 billion, saw 800 banking staff go to prison. The current collapse of 2008 has done approx $12 TRILLION of damage and lost tens of thousands of people their jobs and homes, yet not one person from the top, who have been proven to have commited criminal fraud AND have walked away with hundreds of millions of dollars, have been charged, never mind prosecuted.

One law for the degenerate filth at the top, another one entirely for shoplifters. Thieve millions, and ruin countless lives, no charge; thieve $10, prison.

Thanks to the Olympics I discovered the Ooglies, Peppa Pig and Noddy were actually good viewing.

Just waiting for 'Violent Veg' to become a TV series.

Peppa Pig is OK - Brian Blessed as Grandpa Rabbit cracks me up. But you can't beat Nanny Plum in Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. "Oh, you're not a wise old elf. You're just... old."

Of course, Ben and Holly is a thinly veiled satire of the British Raj, with the fairies as the idle ruling class with their "magical" technology lording it over the toiling masses of servile, second class elves. It's all childish larks now, but it's only a matter of time before it goes all Passage to India.
