Probably worth persevering with the words.

OK then.

1. Egypt has jumped on the tyranny-toppling bandwagon too soon. Their chant seems to be:

"What do we want?"
"SOMETHING ELSE!"
"When do we want it?"
"ERM...DUNNO...WHAT IS IT?!!"

It's not inconceivable that this time next year the more cosmopolitan Egyptians might be yearning for the good old days before Sharia law.

2. Every day of anarchy is another day the looters get to devastate the relics of one of the world's great cultures. Only last week Dr. Hawass' mission in life was to bring all pillaged Egyptian relics back to Egypt. Right now he's probably blessing his failures. I just hope most of the thieves are like the ones who broke in to a Cairo museum and had no idea of the value of the exhibits so they ransacked the shit out of the souvenir shop.

Are you sure you wouldn't just prefer a few crappily-made unfunny jpegs?

Well fuck man, if it's a choice between dictatorship, starvation and souvenirs...

----
"The landscape is punctuated by distant birds, that allude to Georges Braque, arcing across a Malevich-like suprematist sun. The juxtaposition of the tiny copse on the horizon, reminiscent of Jean Arp, with the Dürer inspired towering dandelion emulates a cinematic dolly zoom effect. From icon painting to Photoshop, via botanical textbooks and cartoon cells, Androecium works as an uncanny mise en scène. "

Cutting off the internet to an entire country is such bull shit. They should find where the master routers are and storm the building. And have someone with a bit of tech savvy amongst them I guess...

You can see the use of Google services, including GMail which is on this graph over time.

It's coming back up by the looks.

Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

Aye, they've turned the internet back on. But yeah, complete bullshit to shut a country's communications off like that, though it does make it easier for the government to control the riots and stuff that way.

Controlling the riots and protests. That certainly worked.

You're totally right, but in this day and age it does make things easier to organise. Stopping the internet certainly won't have any chance of stopping the riots, it'd probably make them worse because the people are more pissed off.

Yes, but, if people have Internets then they're less likely to get bored and go outside and protest. DYS?
