Not wishing to "bigfoot" one of my own team (and if you've ever seen James get angry you'll know i don't say that lightly) but here are a couple of other things that may get you talking.....

Apu, the American-Indian character from the Simpsons, is being used in a promotional campaign, and not everyone is happy with what some people see as reinforcing a stereotype. The excellent blog "Pickled Politics" asks the question "racist ? or light fun ? " and we may ask that too...

In Pakistan , nationwide demonstrations are planned

to protest against the deaths at the Red Mosque.

Louisiana becomes the last state to ban cockfighting even though some people say it's a rural tradition..

Thousands are living in shelters in Indonesia after the volcano at Mount Gamkonora started erupting.... it might be good to hear from some of them...

Beware the re-brand.....how about the New York radio station that stopped playing oldies, became JACK FM to attract listeners, and two years later has had to return to it's original format ?

And finally, why would Carlos Tevez want to go to Manchester United when he could stay and be a hero at West Ham ?
