News this week (12w16)

Last Saturday no-one was murdered in El Salvador, the first homicide-free day in nearly three years. Which is some of the most depressing good news I've read in a while. Three years! I don't know how bad things are economically, but for such a small country...

In Afghanistan an all-girls school had their water supply contaminated, poisoning about 150 girls. This was clearly a religiously fuelled attack. I've said it before and I'll say it again, religion sucks. Particularly when you look at Afghanistan, it use to be such a forward looking country. Speaking of Afghanistan, the Pulitzer prize was awarded to a photo taken in the country of a girl screaming after a suicide bombing.

More news that the EU may reject ACTA. Though things are looking glum on the CISPA front.

Anonymous hacks Formula 1's servers and dumps redacted info on attendees of the race. I may not agree with all Anonymous do, but fair play here. We can't let Bahrain get away with all that it has done to its people. It is a disgusting breach of basic human rights.

And finally, inhabitants of Fucking are voting on a name change due to too many place name signs being stolen by tourists.
