Whether you believe this video/news article to be true or not, I still find it quite amusing and a good way of showing the difference between newspapers and the stories they publish.

Miley Cyrus & The VMA's

I doubt there aren't many souls who either haven't seen or heard about Miley Cyrus' performance at the VMA's which sparked much controversy with Parents and Celebrities alike. Some people did understand how she needs to space herself from her Disney Channel image, however most saw what she had done as going over board and being desperate as she showed the world a truly disturbing performance. This link shows the views from parents, the tweets from Celebs, a look at the memes which were produced and the opinion her on screen mother had about the performance.

Good Advice

If you haven't received any advice today then here is one thing that you should always remember in the form of a funny poster image.


Quotations

Here is an image which sums up nicely two things; in some ways what the internet has become and how easy it is to make a teenager believe something which is obviously false like this image.


A Funny Review

What I found really funny about this film review is the way the author had written it. They decided to cleverly re-word the famous theme song of the hit TV Show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" to sum up the movie "Enemy of the State" as actor Will Smith star in both the film and the Television Series.

Interesting Book Reviews

Being an avid reader myself, I decided to join a website where I can indulge in my favourite past time by finding quotations, organizing which books to read, rating and recommending books and writing and reading books reviews. One of the first things I did when I created my account was to read some of the reviews on a book a read quite some time ago - Anthropology of an American Girl.

As you would expect from any book, there were mixed opinions on the extensively long novel, however what struck me about the reviews was the use of language and the angle each individual took when writing the review.

Here are the links to four different reviews.
