The Evening News

Haiku!

In Congo there are
Child soldiers dying - but now:
Cute baby hippo!

Haiku!

I was watching the news last night and found it fascinating that a story on children being forced to fight didn't even earn a token "that's so sad", but the following story on a baby pygmy hippo got about half a minute of "that's so cute!"

This is why I prefer to get my news online.
