Just kidding with the subject, though can you imagine? No, seriously though, The Guardian (UK) reports this morning that Julian Assange is getting his own TV show. What will it be about? Will he interview people with leaky, uh, stuff? Me, about my kitchen ceiling? Nope.
Julian Assange will be hosting a series of in-depth conversations with key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries from around the world. The theme: the world tomorrow.
Upheavals and revolutions in the Middle East have commenced an era of political change that is still unfolding. In the West, the deterioration of the rule of law has demonstrated the bankruptcy of once leading political institutions and ideologies. The internet has never been so strong, or so much under attack.
At this pivotal moment there is an awareness of the need to radically rethink the world around us.
Assange, an Australian national, is under arrest. He was accused in 2010 of assaulting two women while in Sweden. He says the allegations are false and is appealing extradition from the UK to Sweden.
Will Assange get a haircut for his new show? Will the passive voice be used by him in future press releases? Is this for real? Is it early still and all I can think to do is ask dumbass questions? Yep.
