EPISODE #254 – 2.0

Many issues were raised through this episode; Pete’s never ending struggle with the dichotomy of French culture and the fact the French believe their won press, Richard’s continued obsession with cataloguing bodily noises, and Abe’s ability to take a seemingly good idea and make it into something closely approximating one of the lesser episodes of “Chances”.

All of these were raised – but nothing quite so challenging as “What the hell is Web 2.0?”

Throughout the programme more was discovered as we peeled away, onion like, the thin skin of the World Wide Web.

Speaking of which, did you know… ummm, that it’s illegal to download content across international boundaries? Me either!! Not only that but Pete hates Tracey Grimshaw! How could you hate this woman?

As A Walk in The Black Forest continues to cover the Battle for Bennelong, our very own Maxine of Arc, apparently walked straight passed Little Johnny during a Liberal “meet and greet” in the seat. Not a real surprise, hopefully a lot of Australians will be seeing his irrelevance to the electorate. Hopefully when Web 2.0 comes in we can delete him!
Goofy Downer decided to bail Cricket Australia out of the fine imposed by the ICC for not attending the Zimbabwe test. Now my question was this… why are we bailing out a multi-million $ private company? I don’t want to pay! I don’t care!! This wouldn’t happen with Web 2.0!!

The government in all it’s wisdom has provided $10 million to the Community Radio sector to upgrade to digital broadcasting. You see in some years they are going to turn off the transmitters, and anyone not upgraded is stuffed. Apparently not even Web 2.0 will help them! So 10 mill sounds like a bit, huh? Well not for the number of stations that need supporting! So the CBAA who “support the community broadcasting sector” have nominated a few. Oddly the few they chose already have the money, the few they chose are cool and funky, the few they chose are arse-licking wankers. Why are we not surprised! Democracy missing in action. Can’t wait for Web 2.0 to solve it…

Peaches was out and about this week. Apparently she’s upgrading to Web 2.0!
