Blog Action Day 2008: Blogs Vs Poverty
Despite the best efforts of Madonna, Pink Floyd and Ewan McGregor clicking his fingers during Live 8 in 2005, poverty still inexplicably exists. And, as always, where celebrities fail, bloggers are there to clean up the mess. Which explains why today is Blog Action Day, when over 10,000 blogs all take some time to mention poverty in the blind hope that readers will stop looking at videos of cats falling off things for a moment to be preached at by several inert bloggers who haven't been outside for upwards of six or seven months.

Michael Jackson has finally fought off foreclosure on Neverland, so it's his forever. Alright, that's also a lie - by 'his' we mean it's technically the property of the investment company who bought the loan that Michael Jackson took out to save Neverland, and by 'forever' we mean for about a fortnight until Michael Jackson gets behind on his repayments again - but that doesn't really matter either. Probably.
