"PEOPLE TRY TO PUT US DOWN..." Meanwhile in the rest of the world... "Bloggers" from all over China are reporting that they are unable to access their on-line journals or "blogs". I know some people will say 'well... as bad as Bush and Blair are at least they're not that bad...' but as soon as they find a 'terrorist' using some wonderful piece of online technology in a way they disaprove of... You can read some of the stuff that is still filtering through here: "Day three of the Big Bad Ban continues. I have no idea what my site now looks like..." Things in Japan however just get better and better: Meet Boong Ga Boong Ga. A little like those arcade machines in which you swing a punch and see how tough you are. The only real difference is that instead of a glove you get a large plastic pointy finger and instead of a boxer or punch bag you get a woman's arse... The delightful cuddly characters are sent off to promote the game - one is the giant-finger-girl while the other seems to be a large pile of excrement... Apparently the harder you push the finger the more distorted the woman's computer generated face becomes... I guess if you become really good at this you reach the poo level... or something... Not a lot else to say about that really. Mike is blogging to: The Kids are Alright by The Who
