London Can Take It! The Mayor's remarks reminded me of Harry Watt's documentary London Can Take It!. This Quicktime clip at The British Postal Museum and Archive is moving and oddly surreal today.
meanwhile, even the most common of US news media has started to let go of the "Danger, Will Robinson!!!"/"oh the humanity!" angle.
If this explains any, they hit the news cycle just in time for a waking american press' we've gotta story for ya pumped up attitude. The grasping at straws and grabbing at angles plays with dramatic music and a distinct lack of irony, and it will dictate how people think. Each channel and radio station could be talking about something entirely different to an entirely different audience and it is disturbing in and of itself
