If You Think This is Bad Wait until 2014

Yes, I know, we've all seen this picture - how many times?

The centenary of the the tragic maiden voyage of the famous White Star liner has occasioned a staggering amount of attention - far in excess of its historical significance.  Certainly, 1500 lives were lost, but then that was just 10% of the number lost at Bhopal after the appalling Union Carbide disaster - and how often does one hear about that?

And reflecting on the saturation coverage makes me tremble when I ponder what extraordinary levels of excess the world's media will reach when we arrive at the 100th anniversary of the start of the "War to end all wars."

Until the next time (if there is one)
