slothian Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 The best thing we can do is stop the story fading from public consciousness so that News Corp don't get away with this. Honestly, after a week, it won't be a big news story anymore. Murdoch will just be last weeks news. That is, unless this gives Tommy Sheridan a chance at a mistrial (Or retrial, one of the two.) Maybe in Scotland - the Tommy Sheridan has only attracted interest south of the border for the keenest political acolytes. But yes, if the public & other media don't keep up the pressure, there's a big chance that News Corp will dodge the bullet they so richly deserve.

That's true, those people, and the ones who liked the series of celebrity Big Brother with Tommy being best friends with rapper Coolio.

MaxPower Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Surprisingly this isn't getting any coverage in any of the Murdoch papers here in Australia And I'm with Dan, what the hell is with UK papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 In short, UK papers are fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I just realised, Rupert Murdoch is Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I just realised, Rupert Murdoch is Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies. You JUST realised that? You didn't realise it when the film came out? That's who Carver was based on! If only the villain in Die Another Day hadn't been based on Richard Branson.

MaxPower Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 No I knew that's who Carver was based on, but he was the extreme version of Murdoch. What I meant was, Murdoch has become Carver. How is a Korean generals son like Branson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 His character later after he'd been changed, the screenwriters or whoever at the time said he was modelled on Branson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Explorer to embark on quest to find body of Osama bin Laden If found, he wants to sell it to Bin Laden's family. Douchebag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I would think that finding the body and selling the story would be profit enough; he doesn't need to sell it back to the Bin Ladens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 A point. Doesn't saltwater rapidly decompose flesh, meaning there might not even be a body by the time he gets there? Still. Douchebag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 A point. Doesn't saltwater rapidly decompose flesh, meaning there might not even be a body by the time he gets there? It slightly preserves it, actually. It's somewhat of an embalming agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Meh, I say why the hell not? I don't see a problem with it on a few levels::1, silence those who don't believe it and 2. not like he deserves common decency of an undisturbed grave.

MaxPower Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The only problem I have with it was the dropping it at sea in secret was to avoid his final resting place becoming a site of worship/celebration. That said, who actually believes they dumped the body overboard. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in a crate next to the Ark of the Covenant.
