Good morning to you! Hope you're well.
When discussing news items this afternoon, I appear to have missed the biggest one of the day - the story of the 13 year old father. He's apparently only 4foot tall, his voice hasn't broken yet, and he gets £10 pocket money off his dad sometimes. His 'girlfriend' is 15, and lives with her mum, and dad, who hasn't got a job, and 5 brothers. They live off benefits. The father, who was 12 at the time of conception, lives with his mum, who's separated from his father, who has 10 kids in total. Now, I have a number of things to say about this, but I'm not sure how to do so without sounding snobbish and very middle class. But, what I will say is that it's a perfect example of how Britain is becoming fucked up. Now, he isn't the youngest father we've ever seen in the UK, but it's just ridiculous. The best quote of it all comes from the boy's father, who has said he is going to sit down and explain the birds and bees to his son, so that it doesn't happen again - what a idiot. Honestly, some people should not be allowed to have kids, and I can only imagine the life this new poor child is going to have. I'm completely shocked by the fact that kids have sex when they are 12 - I'm pretty sure I didn't know what it was, I didn't even kiss someone until I was 15, and sex didn't come knocking until I was 18. Given, that I'm probably later than average, but still, 12. I remember joking around in the playground about 'humping' at around that time. Unbelievable.
Another big story is the decision by Amazon to sell a Japanese game in which the objective is to rape women. You can even play online, meet up with friends and gang rape someone. How shocking? The Japanese are mental. As for Amazon? I hope they don't get in too much trouble for this, a simple apology will do and let's hear no more of it.
I'm currently at work, and am playing out the Howard Goodall on... repeat from last Saturday. Very shortly I need to work out all my timings for Matthew Stiff's show so I hit the news from IRN on time. All geeky and uninteresting I know.
I think I've ranted for long enough and need to get back to work. Oh, and Happy Valentines day!
Cheers!
