The Mount Everest experience: how to climb to a win only fictional
There is unlikely a way to win the climb to Mount Everest, but the best advise is not to go trying to be "the adventurer". Film and News Media on the Mount Everest is dangerous in so many ways since it promotes the place like a regular national park to BBQ at. The name is not really Mount Everest in the first place, called so by fame seekers. The mountain is entitled "Chomolungma". If base camp is reached, its recommended to stay there. The most interesting thing isn't the mountain anyway, it's the Tibet Asian people who live there. Untold respect will be given if they are ever met, since they are the guides and life-lines. Every climb since westerners encountered the remarkable people has never been done without the guidance of Asian locals. Theres even a new US movie promoting a westerner as a guide to the top. Wikipedia as well gives false credit to decades of fame seekers, who in reality pay large sums of money to local guides. They are the very brown-tanned "High Malayans", and are considered the untouchable sacred people, the only people in the world adapted to thin cold climate air. There have been some very recent expeditions to the region, some being "religiously motivated", hoping to convert or exchange. There's video footage of the hikes online on YouTube.
Discontinued McDonalds Spicy Mustard has caused the loss of business
An online protest of sorts was heard over the discontinued Mc Donald's Spicy mustard sauce. A resident of Euless Texas said "There are very few things that separate the many burger menus out there in the fast food industry, and Mc Donald's Spicy mustard was one of those things that made Mc Donalds unique. Every place has honey mustard, BBq mustard, and Ranch dips". "I dont even buy 20 piece nuggets anymore", he says.
Japanese ASIMO vs Englands Titan the Robot
Recently the United States President Barack Obama visited Japan and met the famous "Asimo" robot. The robot Asimo by Honda is Japan's recent representative of their technological achievements whose decades above their competition. Japan is of course known as a leader, if not the top leader, in all things tech, however England-Britain has been seen to parade away the thunder of robotics technology by puting on fake robot tech shows. In 2010, instead of being able to make an actual robot to showcase it to the world, several gadget costumes were created, one being "Titan the Robot" from Cornwall England. The other robot costume that became famous was "King Robota". The costumes have a man stuffed inside the suit so it appears to move, usually dancing to music, with robotic noises for the joint movement. The top head is worked the same way "the singing fisherman's fish" worked. The singing fish called "Big Mouth Billy Bass" was popular in the early 2000s. The new robotic like costumes caused some controversy since people thought they were cheated out of meeting an actual robot.
Bad reviews of the show Fargo on FX starring Billy Bob Thorton
The show Fargo has been labeled "disturbing" to viewers who also say "it's twisted humor". The most disturbing thing about the show is where the stories are taken place, which is in the far north, supposedly around Canada. The reason why these twisted stories in that particular location is disturbing is because that's not how it is in real life. In small northern communities who survive in cold climate conditions, community is very important, along with trust and friendship with thy neighbor. It's like the show Fargo is actually bringing in violence using easy comedy, filled with paranoia and insane choices.
The term Australasia seems to be dead at sea
The Australasia term has never been very popular, but there was a real effort to promote its use by anonymous parties in the late 1990s and early 2000's. A campaign for the term went first through news media, then was pushed into gaming events, creating sports teams that supposedly represented an "Australasia region". The term has been taken as an insult by much older Asian and Pacific islands as it was extremely Australian centric, and attempted to make Australia the focus of Pacific business. The nation of Australia is actually the youngest nation in the Asia Pacific Region, not founded until 1901, almost 3,000-4,000 years younger than the surrounding Asia and Pacific islander nations.
