Dont Panic!!!!!

I open up my Internet explorer today, and as usual taken to the bloody stupid AOL in partnership with talktalk homepage (I should really change this but I really cant be bothered). Its stupid as it mostly contains links to sites with rubbish slide shows of pictures, with titles such as "Paps take cover! When Celebs attack!!!" or "Spotlight on rocky celebrity romances". It doesn't interest me in the least whether Amy Winehouse has swung for some pap or who madonna is dating. It bores me just thinking about it! Sometimes the site has a headline for the day or a bit of a news story. Today on the site they have the celeb rocky romances, where you can swim wild in the UK, weekend football match previews, how dieters can enjoy Easter eggs and finally the news story which reads "Calm urged over Easter terror fears". WHAT!!!!!!! I was calm, I wasn't concerned, I was going about my normal business but now with that headline I feel that I should be panicking!!! Instead of calming me this has put me on edge, everywhere I go now I will be looking over my shoulder, is this person a terrorist, is that person a terrorist! Good work TalkTalk and AOL what was meant to be a story about calming fears has heightened them, when everyone stays in this weekend and the news next week is all about how sales in high street stores are down a certain percentage on last years sales well the blame lies in your hands! In all seriousness I dont think I needed this article to tell me to be calm, I already was, I'm not really concerned about it, in fact about anything really. (I lie, I am deeply concerned and scared about Alaistair Darling's eyebrows, Tony Christie's hair, David Dickinson's tan, Noel Edmunds, Alan Titchmarsh, Bruce Forsyth and the job market). Its just another example of news media trying to tell us how to feel when we didn't bloody need it! I'm actually quite surprised that there was no link to the Daily Mail on the page somewhere! The Mail probably would have told us how to feel about it and then gone one step further telling us what to do about it as well!
