here's an interesting email from a fan in the UK...

Lazlow,


I just finished reading your latest blog entry (See: The TV told me
to be offended). With regard to one of your earlier episodes of 'The
Lazlow Show' you said that American was becoming the China of the
world (as a result of the cheap economy). As an outsider looking in
you appear to be the North Korea of the world. There are only a
handful of countries out there that tell them what to watch and
listen, and the majority of them are all ruled by a tyrannical
dictator. The current policies about the media and the rest of the
world have similarities to that of Communist China when Mao Tsu'tung
ruled. I agree with what you're saying about the stupidity of these
situations and the media taking information out of context.
Unfortunately though that's the society we've become, not just in
America or the UK, but across the globe. As you rightly said, the
print media (which cannot be censored) is sadly dying out as a result
of the '24 hour societies'. However, if history has taught us nothing
- the "man" can never squash the voices of the many. That is both the
brilliance, and the misfortune of the masses.


That's my two cents.


Keep up the great work,

Ash
