Nanny Bans Pepe The Frog

Oh dear it seems a cartoon meme (Pepe the Frog) has drawn the ire of some Nannys, who have decreed it to be evil.

Online cartoon Pepe the Frog has been added to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)'s database of hate symbols.

The anti-bigotry group said "racists and haters" had "taken a popular internet meme and twisted it".

Therein lies the problem with ADL's "logic". It is not the cartoon image itself that is racist or evil, but certain variations of it created by bigots and racists.

Hence, if they want to ban something, ADL should focus on the perversions of Pepe not the original frog itself.

Something that ADL has now admitted (after thinking a bit more on the subject).

As per the BBC:

"The ADL has clarified that most Pepe memes are not racist, and that innocent versions will not be subject to the hate symbol designation. 

"The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist."

So what exactly was the point of designating it in the first place then?

Oh, and for the record, I have never heard of Pepe until ADL kicked up a fuss over it!

Zuckerberg To Heal The World

Apparently Mark Zuckerberg intends to cure the world of all disease by the end of the century.

Call me a cynic, but I suspect that diseases (in some shape or from) will be with us as long as we exist as a species and most certainly as long as so many people waste time and mental resources on Facebook!

ASH Burns Its Fingers

ASH says that plain packaging, which is not in effect yet, explains why *last year's* smoking rate is lowest ever https://t.co/DUuxKnkMJR

— Ben Southwood (@bswud) September 20, 2016

Deborah Arnott, chief executive of the campaign group Action on Smoking and Health (Ash), said:

“The continuing decline in smoking prevalence is a tribute to many years when successive governments have implemented comprehensive and progressive tobacco control strategies, including tax rises, mass media campaigns, anti-smuggling measures, smoke-free laws, advertising bans, and last but not least getting rid of tobacco displays and glitzy tobacco packaging.”

It's all very well to crow about the "effectiveness" of plain packs, but ASH seem to have "forgotten" that plain packs didn't come into the UK until May 2016. The decline in smoking stats refer to 2015 and earlier.

Most likely the increased use of vaps accounts for the decline, certainly not plain packs.

Horsham Police To Seize Freerunners

Free runners in Horsham town centre should be ‘seized by police and prosecuted’, according to
Brian Donnelly (Horsham's cabinet member for finance and assets).

Parkour, which involves negotiating between obstacles by climbing or jumping, is set to be banned in public spaces in the town centre under a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) approved by Horsham District Council September 7.

The order also covers anti-social drinking of alcohol, anti-social use of vehicles and horse-drawn vehicles, control of dogs, and dog fouling across the district. Anyone found guilty of breaching the PSPO without a reasonable excuse could be fined, or issued with a fixed penalty notice.

It seems, as ever, an overreaction to lump free running into the same category as dog shit and horse drawn vehicles.

Additionally, does anyone envisage a police officer ever being able to catch ("seize") a freerunner?

This is simply another unnecessary, unenforceable law. In the event the freerunners cause damage we have laws such as trespass, criminal damage etc that can deal with them.

Why add another?
