9. Good point and interesting links

I posted yesterday about the protests. I think those who challenge the repression in arab countries deserve our support and I understood yesterday to be in solidarity with a blogger from tunisia, who has disappeared.

The head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Tunisia, Almi Adel, a Salafi Islamic preacher, has called for Amina to be "stoned to death" for posting the images. He warned that Amina's action could cause "epidemics and disasters" and "could be contagious and give ideas to other women." Media reports say Tunisian secular law would punish her with up to two years in prison.

Your point about what the media chooses to report is well made. People do like salacious content, I'm not sure that in itself is wrong.

The other area this calls to is performance art. A three cord japanese band managed to piss off all of Korea, they got a mention from the north. On youtube they had like 300 views. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022613648

Boobies over self immolation. You'll live to fight another day.

Random picture to top off my word salad.

Peace.
