Was on YouTube looking for a clip of the absolutely crap and laughable new title graphics for RTE news. Have you seen it? It's like Newsround with a kicking dance track that keeps going as they read the headlines. The newsreader have laptops on front of them and the background is a queasy blur. The laptops are a terrible touch, a desperate bit of set dressing to show how up to date we are. We'll see Brian Dobson throwing gang signs next while mashin up a Das Efx track.

Sharon Ni Bheolain is still deadly though.

Anyway, found this clip of the Shell protests. Heavy handed Garda aren't usually funny but stick with it till the end and watch them throw the lad over the rail thing. Funny in any language. The protesters were blocking a road and a few dozen commuters needed to get to work. Both parties acted immaturely.
