Rastamouse kids TV show sparks racism row

I think this news is funny. It explains about a children’s show where the main character is a Rasta Mouse. Now some of the people are saying that the programme is racist. The mouse speaks with a rasta accent and uses rasta words. People think the young children will not learn to speak well. I think this is not true. It is a cartoon and children like the colours and the friendly mouse, they are not learning to be a rasta mouse.

Early Britons were cannibals who drank out of cups made from human skulls, hoard of remains reveal

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1357764/Ancient-Britons-drank-skulls-used-cups.html

This news is very interesting. I like information about our ancestors. Researchers have discovered skulls from over 14,000 years ago. The skulls were found in Somerset in The UK. The skulls look like they were used as cups. Possibly they were trophies from killing enemies. The news also tells us possibly our ancestors were cannibals.Archaeology is a very interesting subject, but we can never know exactly what the skulls were used for

Police launch hunt for missing schoolgirl feared to be with man she met on the internet

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1357665/Maria-Gombosova-Police-launch-hunt-missing-schoolgirl.html

This news shows us the problems of internet. A young girl has run from home to meet with a man she knows only from the internet. Her family and the police do not know where she is or if the man she is with is dangerous.

The internet, especially “chat” websites can be very dangerous. You do not know if the people you chat to are honest. Possibly they tell you that they are 16 and in reality they are a lot older. All people, but especially young people should take care with the internet and make sure they do not have problems like the girl in this news. The internet has increased problems with child pornography and many more problems.

What happened to songs?

Why are there so many songs with bad language? I know a minimum of 3 songs with bad language in them:

Fuck you - Cee Lo Green.
Tonight I´m fucking you - Enrique Iglesias
Fucking Perfect - Pink.

Have the artists used these words because they can not think of a better expression? Is the song not good enough to sell without the bad language? Do they use the words to shock us? The songs are quite good, so why do they have to add the bad language?
In England these words are not allowed and the songs are changed. Like this young children are not listening to bad language on the radio or television. I think this is good.

Fuck You is changed to Forget You.
Tonight I´m fuching you is changed to Tonight I´m Loving you.
Fucking Perfect is changed to Totally Perfect.

Sadistic film: SAW

The film Saw is one of a series of films with this name. All these films are horror films and very sadistic. Every Saw film has a character called The Puzzler. This character does not kill the people, he makes tests for people. The people he makes tests for are bad people and have broken the law or have been cruel to other people. The tests are very horrific. If they want to live they must suffer terrible pain and torture. All the tests are very strong, for example to escape from a room the people have to cut pieces of their bodies. The person who cuts the most of their body will escape and the others will die.

There are now 7 saw films. I have seen 6 and I want to go to see Saw 7, because it is in 3D. this type of film is not liked by all people, but I enjoy this film. I like the film not only for the torture, I like the Puzzler´s tests and the investigations.
