bull3964 posted:There's also the massive VW emissions scandal. I think this could be a major theme of an upcoming show. These were the 4-cylynder diesel engines that commercials said were so friendly for the environment that if you drove one of these automobiles instead of a filthy gasoline-guzzler, you could shrink your carbon footprint so much that you could literally burn an entire barrel of crude oil using a ton of coal and still cut down on greenhouse gas. It's like when Lance Armstrong admitted to doping: doping is bad enough. By itself, it's bad. But combined with the fact that he was going out of his way to very loudly protest his accusations and declare his innocence, and it's actually worse. Doing something bad and keeping your head down is one thing. Doing the bad thing and bragging about how good you are and how you'd never do a bad thing is just wrong. Thankfully, the peaceful history between Germany and Britain over the years probably means that we won't hear any outdated metaphors for the antagonists of this story.

Why do you want John to do a story on a subject of which you're already an expert?

My DVR has the show budgeted for 40 minutes, and has since before Boehner broke. Dare I think I somehow scored an interview with the pope?

I'd love to see an interview with the pope, just so John can roll him footage of nobody recognising him or knowing what he does. "Is he the guy that runs FIFA?"

I've seen the pope plenty of times especially over the last few days but if you put him in plain clothes next to a few other old guys I probably couldn't pick him out of a lineup.

You just know that Noujain is going to lose her poo poo when she eventually sees it, that alone makes it all worthwhile. Edit: Here's a few interviews with her, following her attempts to get to Germany to be reunited with her brother. Some of the segments reuse footage so the first few minutes get repeated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-2mJwFwoeA Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Sep 28, 2015 |

Yeah I just finished watching the YT upload of the main segment and came here to post this. You'd think there'd be at least one person commenting about how happy that girl is going to be when she sees that clip, but nope, it's all just "ACTUALLY migrants are bad because (several paragraphs of pure racism)"

Great episode but I hadn't heard about that camerawoman. Who the gently caress kicks a child? What kind of loving supervillian are you? There are very few things that would genuinely lead me to violence but watching a woman kick migrant children running from their terrible oppressive countries is definitely near the top. And of course people hate that segment. Anti-migrant feeling is almost always seated in racism.
