Poetic Justice

As i sat there last night with the remains of a "easy to open" packet in my hand I contemplated the following.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if you were somehow able to get the people in charge of picking stock for the supermarkets to actually try and use the stock they themselves pick. The case in point was with ham. Now unlike the rest of the civilized world it is next to impossible to buy fresh meat from a butchers in London, instead you need to go to your local supermarket and buy packaged meat. Now I've noticed a trend with this packaging, it boldly proclaims that it is "easy to open" or "Resealable" and presumably that is a big selling or marketing point for said product. Of course as anyone will attest, trying to open said products is next to impossible, invariably ending in frustration, swearing and little bits of plastic sheets all over the kitchen. I mean seriously what moron uses glue with an adhesive strength stronger then that of the damn plastic sheet in the first place? So I for one would absolutely LOVE to get the stock choosers down on the floor, and see them trying to open their damn products.

Who runs the Internet?

I'm just going through all my data at the moment and attempting to once and for all bring some order to the chaos. Amongst the chaos I found all my old bookmarks. Funny how the entire concept of bookmarks has just about vanished these days, the days of the google. Still I found one link which was useful and thought I'd throw it up here in case any of you readers were also curious about who and how the Internet actually runs. Who makes the decisions? This article should clear it up for you.
