WHAT's the next BIG television news event?

just a reply to cheshirecs post earlier about how top secret info is sometimes gradually released. if we knew everything that goes on at groom lake (area 51 in nevada) i think we would be extremely worried cause i for one dont believe we are the only living planet in our solar system.

It would simply be very naive for us to think that we were the only planet with life on in the Universe or the Solar System for that matter.
You simply cannot tell me that only 1 out of a few billion planets has life on.. this does actually defy the laws of probablity.

I wonder what the TV idents are like on the other planets ?

tehhee.
I bet they have something better than the Beeb.
ABC, Alien Broadcasting Service perhaps.
That is a scary thought actually!!!
*looks out of window
*sees hovering ship
*runs

Oh dear

ABC
Alien Broadcasting Service

Spot the mistake?

Theres probably a planet not too far from this one, with exactly the same geography, climate etc.

Its EXACTLY like this planet, its Earths twin if you like, only difference is - it's 20 years ahead of us!

The Prime Minister of Gritain, Paul Daniels, is on trial for corruption, and one of Gritains internal nations, Rotland, becomes independent.

The monarch, Queen Geri I, is overthrown and replaced by King Asa of Dorkshire.

The currency, the 500 year old Dound, is replaced by a newer curreny called the neuro. People in Gritain are angry, and protesters from Vales converge on the capital, Xondon. The famous clock, Big Dave, is blown up by a terrorist by the name of Julian Glary.

Gritain is invaded by a swarm of genetically modified bumble bees, which sting people with cocaine instead of venom.

And Gritains public service television broadcaster, the GBC, is privatised, and will now show at least 7 minutes of ads advertising how great the governing Labore party is.

Lets, stay on planet earth...

Veering back on topic, I guess the next big event has been somewhat set back by the US Federal Appeals Court - referrring, of course, to the recording of the execution of Timothy McVeigh not being permitted.

Imagine, all the news broadcasters agonising over whether to show the video or not. After the way the news programmes (here in Greece) repeatedly showed the horrific scenes of the nightclub disaster in Israel - sometimes in slow motion and with peoples faces highlighted - I could just see them having a field day with such a tape.

Thanks ever so much for the warning. I'll be barricading myself in to protect myself from the imminent visit from MI6.

How is it going to be shown? Is that 15 minute talk to the public/media still going ahead? And will they show him walking up the chair and cut it there?

Cheers, Asa

Chair? it's lethal injection, not electricution............

It's on a gourney, like a bed.......

He'll be chained to it, but none of the events will be on national, or international television as it stands, becuase of a court ruling, and it's in the Indiana Execution protocol

Looks like a car seat to me.

Either way we wont see it, not that I would actually want to anyway.

Here's me thinking it's a chair like in The Simpsons

I've just seen a pic of it on C5 News and yeah, it looks a sort of flat car seat but hasn't stopped a crowd of journo's turning up!

Cheers, Asa
