Interesting Stuff #2

Today we have a few brief snippets for you:

In interesting critique of the new justice bill, which could have been subtitle "and justice for some"

A new scientist article talking about advertising to monkeys. Please, leave them their innocence.

A few words on the words understood by the few in the rail industry.

More shite from the olympics organisers. Expect the letter O to be trademarked next.

It wouldn't be one of my lists if it didn't have something about copyright in there somewhere

And finally, a depressingly accurate cartoon from Ted Rall

Enjoy. Or not.

Put your money where your mouth is

I've always been a fan of political cartoons, a few years ago i started reading a few from the other side of the pond as a way of getting a different perspective on events being reported over here.
A couple of years ago i found the cartoons of Matt Bors, unlike a lot of the US political cartoonists he doesn't appear to be particularly partisan (though i think you can say he's definitely liberal) but just enjoys pointing out the sheer ridiculousness of the world political situation.
I like that.
But his cartoon today is a bit special. There's no joke to it.

I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here, because frankly, I admire the man, but i can't find an e-mail address anywhere on his website. I guess he gets a lot of shit from people for some of his cartoons.
Anyway, on this, he ain't shitting about.

Normal YAMDAC related blogs will follow shortly.
