Bin laden dies, america take all the glory

So in the early hours of this morning it was announced that Bin Laden had been found and killed, the news circulated the net via social network sites Twitter and Facebook before the likes of BBC news had even made comments on the event.

Queue the conspiracy mill going into over drive, has he really been killed? Is this a ploy by Barack Obama to make sure he gets reinstated, political propaganda?  As a normal person who isn't let in on any trade secrets lol I don't know what's happening, if we're to believe what we're fed by the media then a great service has been done. At the same time I fear that celebrating in the death of the leader of a feared organisation is a bit dangerous, playing in the water with sharks if you like. At the same time it annoys me that America in a stereotypical fashion are playing themselves to be the worlds heroes forgetting that London and Madrid also had tragic terrorist attacks and that this is a WORLD's victory, not theirs alone

The Royal Wedding

It seemed it was the event no one could stop complaining about, too much public spending, etc... etc... this is only a short entry but as a citizen of London I was very proud of how our country came out in force and the PR it rendered positively for Britain as a state. More positivity is needed in today's society.

Do we really care?

This weekend during a return trip to Birmingham I had local radio station BRMB playing, during the news segment of the show they reported how a study has shown that most teenagers at the age of 15 have been drunk at least twice, then continued to say how English teenage girls are the worst binge drinkers in the world.

Not five minutes later the adverts were played on the same station and two adverts for alcohol were played, on the same show they were doing studying songs, therefore knowing teenagers were listening. In one hand they are saying how bad the abuse of alcohol is and then advertising it in the next breath.

Adverts for alcohol are also notoriously glamorous

Is it really any surprise that our nation has this problem? When alcohol is advertised everywhere especially at such a young audience?

It was made illegal to advertise cigarettes, and the dangers of alcohol abuse are just as bad, whilst the tax are these narcotics is important for our economy, im sure removing the advertising of these things especially pre-watershed would be a step in the right direction

Katie Price aka Jordan

Katie Price alter ego Jordan is no stranger to the world of PR or the press, and has been able to adapt herself to different situations dependent upon the public's perception.

Over her 14 year career she has gone from public enemy to nations sweetheart and everything in between. 

From page 3 model to jungle sweetheart to multi-millionaire business woman Katie Price knows how to work her PR. Recently we've seen her end her second marriage to cage fighter Alex Reid, similar to the demise in her relationship with Peter Andre,  the public were not on her side. 

However after a stint on Comic Relief 2011's Let's Dance saw her voted through to the final and her new relationship with Argentinian model Leandro Penna means she's gracing the cover once again of magazines and in a positive light. 

Combined with Alex Reid coming across 'weak' and 'pathetic' it looks like Katie Price is back on top

yes or no to AV

So on the 5th May 2011 we decide as a nation whether we change the way in which voting is done, as a tory voter I should be against AV but I think I will be voting for AV.
I personally feel not enough young people take part in voting, its not explained very well and isn't as popular in culture as something like tabloid magazines or the only way is essex, i think the best way to maybe change this is to try and combine the both without cheapening what is essentially the running of the country

Rebecca Black - Friday

She's the girl who went from nobody to notorious in one night - and a small sum of $2,000 and a youtube video was all it took. She's now even an instated approved article on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Black) Is she the ultimate proof that the internet is all that is needed to churn out a famous face or a celebrity? For instance are reality TV shows a thing of the past? Rebecca Black would seem to prove this point. She's now internationally known for simply having fun with her friends all because of the power of viral net videos. Though arguably more talented Justin Bieber and the Arctic Monkeys were products of the same internet phenomena. However this leaves us in the position that if anyone is silly/outrageous enough they'll be able to elevate themselves to a level of fame otherwise unachievable, is this really fair, and are you popular for all the wrong reasons?

Student Riots - sterotypes

As someone against the student protests of late it worries that me that students are now being stereotyped.

For years students have been blasted by the media as lazy, scroungers, tramps and a barrage of other negativities so much so it has become a common viewpoint of the general public.
