BBC sh1ts on America for 9/11 Anniversary


UPDATE and Bump: Go to bottom for the audio of the BBC add for the show and a transcript.
I had a lot of trouble finding the right title for this post. We are coming up on the 5th Anniversary of the 11 SEP 01 attacks on America where
2,773 civilians were killed in a few hours one morning. What story will the BBC World Service put out on 08 SEP? The British Broadcasting Company plans on putting out:
A Very American Witch Hunt: 9/11 Stories presented by Michael Buchanan (8 September)
Yes, it is about how evil and racist America is - you should hear the audio on the BBC World Service telling you about it. Smug.

A very rare moment. I am at want for words but one; shame.


I wish there was more out there than this. I would really like to hear the audio again - I'll post a BBC link once the show comes on.
Click here for the video if the embedded one below does not work. Sorry about the quality, but I recorded it on my digital camera and then using the power of my PowerBook, converted to to video. First half of the video has the advert in question - the rest explains itself. Transcript also below.




BBC Announcer: In the aftermath of September 11th, 2001, the United States believed it faces a new threat.

President Bush
:
No one should be singled out for unfair treatment because of their ethnic background.

BBC Announcer

Woman #1:
The whole image of any Arab person speaking(?) like he is a terrorist.

Note in the radio add I recorded, unlike the first ones, they took out the "witchhunt" though it is still on line. Cheeky monkey BBC.

Priorities should be given to your areas of strength Always dress for professionally. If you look professional, you'll likely be treated with professional respect. Wear clean and comfortable attire. Avoid casual clothing such as blue jeans and T-Shirts (even if you would wear this type of clothing during actual work hours). I don't believe in paying outrageous amounts to some one to do some thing that I can do myself - Denise Vincent" The world runs with its own laws of the land created by their forefathers so that all the functions of the society run smoothly in coming generations. There always comes a time when laws are broken due to some unfortunate incidence or done intentionally. This is the point where qualified, experienced and professionals lawyers come in to do their magic. Many people tend to go through a laws firm where there is a body of Lawyers. Many of lawyers are hired after years of experience and typically chosen from specific educational backgrounds. However, it all depends on the ability of an individual to avail the opportunities that flow though life every single day. There are many online web tools that connect the right job opportunities to qualified professional lawyers at the right time. The Lawyer average salary is around $109,282 which differs according to the place, work experience, background and specialization. Even if the economy is hit by recession, this is one of those professions that no one in this world can ever live without. The earning potential of an individual always rises in time and there is no perfect gauge to ascertain the exact possible salary a person can draw. However, people can get very close with the proper algorithm which could give them a rough idea of what they can ask their employers in the future. Thirdly, be sure to present yourself well, and remain positive throughout the interview process. If you are interviewed by multiple people, be sure to make eye contact will all people in the room, sit up straight and speak clearly and confidently when answering questions. Also avoid fidgeting or moving around too much as this may indicate that you are uncomfortable. 11. Do not forget to smile and speak directly on the telephone mouthpiece.
