Ix-nay the Segway
Last night's ABC news bulletin had a slow-news story about the plans by Victoria Police to use those ridiculous Segways for some of their patrols (probably intended to make them seem less "threatening"). Completely local story, right? So what image does the ABC use to remind its viewers what a Segway is? Answer: blurry paparazzo stills from June 2003, showing George W. Bush stumbling off one, after his first attempt. And remember: there is no left-wing bias at the ABC.
