Guardian Unlimited | US elections 2004 | Advertiser drops Whoopi after Bush sex joke
Man, you know, this is getting a little scary. Joe Strummer said in Know Your Rights that you have the right to free speech, as long as you're not dumb enough to use it. Now, as she mentions, Slim Fast has a right to protect its business. But it seems like there's something particularly insidious about the media over the pond these days. Granted this is a Guardian story -- i.e. them Yanks sho' is crazy -- but this makes me nervous, along with the last entry here. OK, I know it's not Night of the Long Knives stuff, but as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, there seems to be very little of the above in both decisions.
It's bedtime again. G'night.
