Where are their minds?

All TV channels have been interrupted to show some people playing the bagpipes.

I don't remember this coverage for the anniversary of the Turkish earthquakes, in which 10,000 people died.

Indeed, my love. Apparently there was a tidal wave in China three days ago which received minimal media coverage, not to mention the thousands who die needlessly in Africa *every fucking day*. I made several phone calls during the proposed minute of silence. And what the flying fuck have bagpipes got to do with it.?! Of course the WTC deaths were tragic, but why are American lives so much more valuable than anyone else's?

A quick look with Google suggests that deaths by hunger amount to the equivalent of 10 WTC attacks every day. (PDF converted by Google)

Any idea where I can find out more about this tidal wave? I've done quite a bit of searching but found nothing...

OK, my source (puts on roving cub reporter Jimmy Olsen freckles and grin) was the guy I buy my coffee from outside Streatham station. He is usuallu very reliable - I will ask him again tomorrow.

There was a picture in yesterday's Metro... if I remember correctly, eleven people were injured. it was a fairly small tidal wave?
