As you could of guessed the news this week was filled (and still is) of the terrible tragedy happening in Japan where as you should know an 8.9 earthquake hit as well as 20 aftershocks. To which after that a tsunami decided to show up and clear away anything else and then to make sure that they really got the hint all three nuclear power stations are on high alert with leaks and explosions. Geez what next God a meteor to the face? a cat that can't die? Pier's Morgan? NO i think they've had more than enough. Anyway if you didn't know this then you clearly have been living under, around or in a rock as it is everywhere and as you can guess it is a terrible thing to happen before you think I am a begrudged Dr.Evil type. Now every news station it seemed had the same 30 second loop going around of water destroying homes, roads and forming whirlpool's like when you spin a spoon really fast in a glass of water and you think your in twister. My news of choice (and i say choice in the same way i choose to work to earn money) was Sky News, which has a much more American fear tacit way of telling the story with the main forces being it could reach the USA. Even showing us live shots of beaches in Hawaii, going LOOK! The WAVES! THEIR GETTING! A BIT FASTER! EVERYONE RUN! But in real terms they were fine and Mr. Bolton should calm down about his love for the USA and focus on the matter at hand, remember the Japanese already got hit. You know the ones over their!
So after learning the facts Sky news happily showed images of Japan and where the quakes had hit. Then graphics of Japan and how many hours before America got hit after which back to the footage of the waves with some sort of hammer horror style music but reminding us more tsunami news coming soon. It all felt like some sort of a The Osbourne's style show, following the tsunami around like a stalker seeing where it's going, what shoes it likes the most and if it will go for Christmas number one this year.Anyway after the back and forth elements that make you hurl endlessly into your own lungs you get pretty diagrams of what an earthquake looks like underwater, what a nuclear planet is, what area got flooded first. Oh wait where hearing more people are dead, what does this mean Adam Bolton, well it's bad, and back to more footage of Japanese people looking scared when the ground shakes. It seems that the news has become it's own reality TV show and now rather than dealing with these tragic issues they just parade around the area pointing cameras and hoping for the worst out come like a season of Big Brother, rather than actually helping them in a time of need.
It was also good to see The newspapers handle this story with care, showing many of the same pictures, death toll's and diagrams of the nuclear power planet that if you were to just flick the pages in all the papers together you might think your watching a flip book movie. But it was The Sun who ruled all after their page three lady spoke of poets and intellect that make me wonder why she has to get her boobs out for money. You would then flip to page six where in big half page letters they had the headline GODZILLA! GODZILLA! Now I'm no expect but isn't that a bit raciest? I mean a whole nation is in morning and the only way you feel you can explain it to your reading viewers is by going look they run away like they do in those Godzilla movies, Haha remember. Haha silly Japanese Haha. Oh look their running from that wave, Haha. Oh boobs will make it better. I seriously believe that the nation is so bored of news that the only reason they read the sun is because it's 20p and if builders don't have a paper with them at all time they can't look at pictures while on the loo or drinking tea. It should be on the same rack as OK, Now, Jam, Bizz and Flip Flap. Better still they could write it by putting all their favorite words like, Hero, immigrants, benefit's, credit crunch and boobs into a bucket and just arrange stories together using that. No one would notice and it would save them time......wait a second.....Boobs are heroes for immigrants benefit's in the credit crunch....
