Child Files Part 1

Child Files
A Controversial Database (Contact Point) had become available. England has a new database, it a filled with children. The system was a response of a report following the death of Victoria Climblie, she was abused by her great aunt and her boyfriends.
The system was delayed twice, first for security reasons. The second time it was delayed by the ministers. The System will applied to Authorities in the North West of England before being introduced in the rest of England.

The system is setup so children will slip through the net. The children that are in the database are in contact with other government service. This can save five million hours of professional time.

Manga Bible part 2

I personally think setting up Jesus as an action hero is not a way to get people to read the bible or take it seriously.

I am not a man who follows religion, but I think this is nothing more than a commercial stunt to sell more comics. I agree this form of bible appeals to a younger audience, but the question remains will the comic really get the children into Christianity, or will it just be a good story to read?

This is the first time I made a blog out of a video article. But I found the article so intriguing that I had to use it.

Manga Bible

Article Summary
Christianity has found a new way to reach children. They use the power of Manga, author Bavin Akasiku thinks this will get teens interested in the bible. He took out all the “boring” pieces, this so it will appeal to the children.

This gives a totally new look on the bible, Bavin Hopes more teens will read this. Some Evangelical Christian group sees this as inappropriate because the stories are filled with action and this way the bible could be misinterpreted. Yolanda Szwedowska (RE Teac her at Twyford school) shares these concerns because. The students of Twyford School are enthusiastic about the manga bible because they find it better than the original.

The Big Switch part 2

I have watched the first and second episode, and I quite enjoyed it.

I liked the idea that a man is stuck in a woman’s body. I think it would be weird to be a man in a woman’s body. This series makes me think about the strange situations this would bring. This series is a 4 part that concludes on the 22nd of May. A combination of Drama and Humor is what you are getting.

Veronica turning her husband away, while finding out the comfort of a vibrator. A lot of new experiences for Danny in his struggle to find himself, in the form of Veronica in his body. How will this end?

Personal Opinion

I liked the character of Ali G because he was over the top. He was the only Cohan Character until now to make me laugh. I am very curious about the exploits of Bruno. Especially because I tried everything to avoid the movie that was made about Borat. The only time I saw it I was drunk. But I would never see the movie sober. I thought that movie was rude and disgusting especially the scene where 2 naked hairy men wrestle each other. I hope he does a better job with the new movie. I think this is going to be a Baron success.

Article Summary

Sacha Baron Cohan the man with many faces had done it again. He found a way to shock audiences with his new character Bruno, a fashion journalist from Austria. Baron is well known for his alter ego’s Ali G the wigger and Borat. Both got a feature movie. Now it is Bruno’s turn to conquer the world in his movie.

Baron is a shy type in real life but in his alter ego’s he pulls all stops. All his characters have the ability to shock the audience by their remarks. This made the Previews for Bruno’s movie a lot of publicity. Bruno tries to put homophobia to the table. Lots of publicity was already made for Bruno. In Fort Smith Arkansas for instance, there was a promise of one dollar beer and blue collar brawling. The spectators expected to see a good old fashion brawl but ended up with a cage fight that ended in the two contestants stripping down in underwear, kissing and rubbing each other.
