"Iran II"

"In a nationally televised speech in Iran today, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei ordered his countrymen not to stage further protests, warning the nation, "I am following you all on Twitter."

To back up his words, the Supreme Leader then displayed his Twitter account page, showing that he was indeed following 65,875,224 people, but had only one follower, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The Ayatollah's announcement sent a chill up the spines of opposition leaders, most of whom assumed that the Supreme Leader did not have a Twitter account.

"You mean he's been reading all my tweets?" said opposition organizer Mohsen Sobhi. "Oh, shit.""

"Animal Magnetism"

Been to the Tierpark lately, a huge zoo in the East of the city. One of Europe's largest. And definitely a nice one. Not sure about quality of animal caring, but I assume there are EU regulations concerning animal rights. Hope so. Anyhow, nice day. I am so identifying with that lovely pondering ape snapshot. ;) - Well, the owl suits me, too O.o.

Oh - and more on New Media soon, as I will attend a conference on social networking, responsibility and so on next Wednesday, which I expect to be highly critical and biased, as most speakers are either neo-liberals or conservatives. It's gonna be FUN!

But first a dark weekend in Leipzig ... .

"Auf Kiel - Special Edition"

Intermediality - special version. They combined a song by one of my favourite bands from schooltimes with my favourite toys from childhood. ;)
For those of you who don't understand any German, the song is about strong feelings of arrival and itchy feet. In my humble opinion, you can have both at a time and live up to both needs. Paradoxical? So what!
