The Angry News - Helping the New York Times

The New York Times is a reputable newspaper but I think I can help them improve - they need to simplify their reporting as per my suggestion in this Angry News Bulletin:

The Blogging Times - Microsoft go social with Wallop

Here’s this week’s post for The Blogging Times. Microsoft have chosen to enter the “social networking” web space with their offering which they’ve named “Wallop”. This sector is already overcrowded and some people have questioned what Microsoft thinks they will achieve here. Let me explain it for you:

The Angry News - Free Fall Madness

Here’s my take on a news story about French surgeons conducting surgery on a specially fitted out plane that allowed them to simulate zero gravity.

This was done to “advance medical science”.  The people involved argue that it showed surgery in space is viable (e.g. on a space station).  I think they just got really stoned [...]

In praise of an average career

From time to time, I’m sure most people ask themselves the question “What am I doing with my life?” Why am I stuck in this dead end job? Don’t I deserve better? Why aren’t I writing that great novel? I should be trekking the Himalayas. I’ve never been to Paris in the springtime.  In the [...]

My ongoing struggle to stay angry

It isn’t always easy staying angry 365 days a year. Sure, the generally fucked-up nature of the world helps, there’s always something new to be angry about.

The Angry News - Health Update

Here’s another way to make me angry - blatantly misrepresent a product. New research from Australia’s leading consumer advocate has revealed only a handful of more than 150 so-called healthy snack bars contained any real nutritional value, with many instead loaded with disturbing levels of sugar, salt and saturated fats.

Less than 10% of these [...]

Get off the road!

Yesterday I made the call on my number one pet hate when driving - testosterone fuelled morons who threaten the well-being of everyone else.  I have to admit, a close second for me is drivers who are overly timid and tentative.  I know traffic can be an overwhelming and scary thing and a certain degree [...]

The Angry News - the new terror threat

The constantly touted spectre of Islamic jihadists just not striking terror into you any more?  Do you need a new threat to worry about?  Fortunately, there are “experts” out there who can be relied on to produce studies that are so stupid, they truly boggle the mind.
Thanks to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, [...]

Driven insane

Everything about driving cars in cities is fucked up.  There, I’ve said it.  Someone should take all the cars off the road.  It wastes a phenomenal amount of resources, it makes people fat because they drive to the shop that’s a block down the fucking road instead of walking (don’t even get me started about [...]
