English football fans have been put to shame once more by the disgusting behaviour of a small minority. League One London club Queens Park Rangers fans were subjected to a number of sickening chants from opposing fans during their opening day clash with Hull City on Saturday.

“You’re just a town full of bombers” was one of the masterpieces one moron managed to pen. Well done.

The police are looking for around 40 people, each having been picked out of CCTV footage by eagle-eyed attendants. Some QPR fans left the game early in tears, and were unsurprisingly shocked by the sheer unbelievable lack of sensitivity.

Why can they never keep stuff like this right OUT of football?

Ten years ago, the idea of the world wide web was mocked and applauded in equal measures, and an article by Wired Magazine, celebrating ten years of the net, has the whole story.

‘In late 1994, Time magazine explained why the Internet would never go mainstream: “It was not designed for doing commerce, and it does not gracefully accommodate new arrivals.” Newsweek put the doubts more bluntly in a February 1995 headline: “THE INTERNET? BAH!”‘

The article, by Kevin Kelly, goes into great detail about the first steps of the net, the surprising-to-some explosion of popularity in all things online, and even goes on to discuss what we might see ten years from now. A very interesting read to anyone who wants to understand how the medium you’re using right now came about.
