On Tuesday night at 8.30 pm SBS is showing the excellent McLibel video. It tells the true tale of how two London Greenpeace activists were sued for libel by McDonalds in the longest running libel case in British legal history. It follows The Awful Truth, Mike Moore's show which is broadcast at 8pm and is often very good.

McSpotlight Doesn't!! // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// McSpotlight has reached the ripe old age of 4 years - a walking talking monster no longer in nappies by all accounts. As part of month long celebrations we now have the results in for the McSpotlight Quiz. First prizes ------------ Seeing as only three people got all 22 answers correct, we thought we'd do the decent thing and give them a first prize each. And the lucky contestants are: Greg C / Ben D / H Morris (no relation to Dave, we trust) They each win a McLibel party pack containing a McLibel video, a McLibel book and a McSpotlight CD-Rom Runners up - McSpot CD-ROMs ------------ The twelve runners up each win a McSpotlight CD-ROM. They were picked for their rib-cracking tiebreakers, rather than how many questions they got right: ------------ TIEBREAKER: I like to give my money to McDonald's because... ------------ RIB-CRACKERS: ... I want to destroy the world but I can't afford nuclear weapons. Dean G ... I tried to throw it into a landfill but it was full. wayne h ... i only have one leg! dave ... they have such big plans for it. Genevieve L ... I'm going on holiday to Brazil and need somewhere to park my car. Billy B ... the tv tells me to. Craig H ... because, because, because, because... because of the wonderful things it does! Paul V ... I know part of it will go to support needy children (employees of McDonalds) and the elderly (employees of Mcdonalds) and the downtrodden (employees of McDonalds). D Dragos ... I am a doctor specializing in heart problems. McDonald's provides three-quarters of my income. AK ... they give me food in return. Maestro ... I love their prices! I can exploit workers, destroy the environment, clog my own arties for only $5.74. Michelle H ... everybody else does. David You can see all these and can even have a belated go at the questions themselves at: http://www.mcspotlight.org/mcfun/quizwinners.html ----------------- LATER THIS MONTH: ----------------- Other celebrations we expect for McSpotlight this month include: a new search facility on the site, revamped (updated) campaigns and press sections and maybe even an improved debating room (though is that actually possible we ask). ___________________________________________________________________________ McLibel Support Campaign c/o London Greenpeace 5 Caledonian Road, N1 9DX.
