According to the BBC, Leonardo DiCaprio is to produce a film about the Volkswagen emissions scandal. . . . . . . . . No kidding!

It is set to be a gripping tale of how Volkswagen tinkered with their software to bypass California's ridiculously impractical and stringent emissions test. It will delve into the fascinating topics of vehicle recalls and dramatize the evil of how their cars are still being driven, despite the fact that they are harmless and haven’t caused injury or death to anybody.

Tim Blair is seeking to assist Leonardo in his endeavour by compiling some suggestions from his blog's loyal readers.

My suggestion? "A Hack of No Consequence"

Commentaires

Richard, appearing to be deep in thought, an appearance that is deceptive.

40 years old and getting more cynical by the day. A lover of eccentricity, a proponent of the individual, civil liberties and freedoms. Often at loggerheads with those demanding uniformity in the name of the collective. Argues as an individual, and not as part of a group or organisation.

I never set out to offend, but in the words of the great linguist Stephen Fry

“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so f**king what."

This is where I would advertise a book had I wrote one.

Strange Old World

A critique of current events, on the strange, and topics that interest me. Deliberately selfish, unashamedly selective.
