Sunday Newspapers, Now With CDs

VirtualUK writes "The BBC news site has a story today about The Times news paper now distributing a CD along with the tree mass that comes with its Sunday edition. They cite that one of the main reasons is that Internet connection speeds have still yet to catch up on the whole in order to benefit from the rich multimedia content of the CD."

  2. Stuff that matters by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to be a story by one news site about a single newspaper in the United Kingdom that's only published one day out of seven distributing a CD ROM on an occasional basis.

    Excuse me while I dig out a list of other publications that provide a monthly CD. I'm sure there must be one or two...

    ...to scrutiny. When it comes to holding a Black to equal standards, a Liberal has no spine. When's the last time you saw that DemocRAT Bill Clinton (or his whorish wife) ever call a Black on his speech when he spouted something racist? The silence is deafening.

  5. You completely inhale the pastes in crust by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    It has come to my attention that you completely inhale the pastes in crust. Read on for more about this fascinating topic.

    The world went into shock a few weeks ago when goatse.info reported the results of a study which concluded that inhaling paste is a very dangerous pastime, one that no one is advised to take up. Eventually, everyone adapted to the new state of affairs and began inhaling other things. Almost everyone, that is. But not you! According to my records, you still inhale paste!

    Why?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!

    You moron, you idiot, you imbecile, you gay nigger! Arg! You make me so fucking sick! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.
