Why I love the online news websites!

Online news web sites. BBC, CNN, Google. I love them. Like car crashes, I am perversely drawn to them.
And there is no better time to read the news than there is right now. Why? Are you sitting comfortably? I'll tell you. Because the world is about to explode and everyone except Bill Gates has been forced to grow their own vegetables.
For me, cocooned in Thailand, reading the ramfeezled world news online is like traveling back in time thirty years. There are the perennial traditional news items like strikes by the lazy working class union slobs. The UK inflation rate rivaling that of Zimbabwe (and that's despite the government cooking the books.) Old people dying of hypothermia because their gas was cut off after they were a day late with the 'permission to stay alive' fees that British Gas extort.
And that's not all. House prices are crumbling, banks are failing and crime is on the rise. The Middle East is still fighting over the Gaza Stripper and the Best Wank. China still exports toys made of lead. Americans still barbeque their babies at Thanksgiving. The French still don't use soap. Everything gives you cancer.
But we live in an age of new crimes, too. The media is littered with stories about trash! Don't recycle? - go to prison. Overfill your dustbin? - go to prison. Spank your own kids? - go to prison. Have an opinion? - go to prison...
