The Guardian isn't sure whether Stephen Gately was a pioneer or not.

We can however be sure that he was a breaker of barriers. So that's OK.

Political Blog Sold For....£1.3 million?!?

There's much discussion about the purchase by Tory Billionaire, Michael Ashcroft, of the blog sites, ConservativeHome and PoliticsHome, for a mind-blowing £1.3 million. Whilst there will be many bedroom-bloggers being re-energised by three year plans to similarly sell out to rich owners the rest of us are just left thinking 'why'?

I have an idea.

THIS BLOG IS WORTH £1.3 MILLION.

Sweet. *Waits for a call, fluffs pimp coat*

Humans encounter unusual creature. Humans kill said creature. The Sun offers a biography of Gollum and a shit video.

These stories always start with the creature being killed. If aliens ever land, it won't matter that we've seen a million science fiction movies, we'll still throw rocks at them until they're dead.

Mark Steel on the reporting of Michael Jackson's death

Within minutes of the first reports, it was clear the world was going mad. The reporter on Radio 5 Live told us the news from Los Angeles "was truly a JFK moment". Because the sense of shock and grief were identical, in one case millions feeling a new era of civil rights and peace had been cruelly snuffed out; in the other, the realisation we would never again see a man go "Yow" while spinning in a circle.
