IT’S PROBABLY THE best thing to come out of the whole April Fools’ Day shenanigans of yesterday – but it will also drive you insane.
Reddit has set up The Button - a countdown clock that resets to 60 seconds every time a Reddit user clicks it.
It’s almost hypnotic to watch – as each time you think it will get below 55 seconds, it resets because there are just so many people discovering it as today goes on.
The intriguing thing though, is that only people who set up Reddit accounts prior to yesterday will be allowed click The Button – and each user can only click it once.

We have absolutely no idea what will happen when The Button reaches 0, but we’re sure they have something planned. Now, it’s just a test to see which users will hold back their clicks until they are really needed - or get tempted and blow them straight away.
Intriguing.

Vote NO to both proposals. !
To balance this out I will say vote ‘YES’ to both!
You must never criticise commisar kenny or his comrades. You must never report negative news…
You now can’t even show people having a go at Enda during the All-Ireland…
Not one image of him was shown
Luckily you have the journal Leslie Alan Rock – the majority of your comments are about Enda Kenny – you are obsessed with the man.
No Soneps, Leslie can move from topic to topic pretty easily unlike a lot of one trick pony’s around here that only surface on a given subject. It’s posters that can do that, that make online media worthwhile.
There are certain talk shows that the host will put forward their completely biased opinion and won’t let anybody disagree with them just because they seem to have a certain point of view and just label anybody that disagrees with them as an idiot or moron, hosts should remain neutral at all times and should never be able to give their own opinion because it brainwashes people, I’ve heard serious bullying on the radio because the host would agree with one caller and then they would both bully the other caller by calling them an idiot and a moron
George Hook over on Newstalk is indeed fond of doing this.
And what’s even more funny is that the next topic on the show may be about bullying and how it ought to be stamped out and the host will be dead against bullying for this instance but will bully anybody that disagrees with them, it’s hilarious but the average caller to these shows is not very intelligent, the amount of people embarrassing themselves for our enjoyment on Irish radio is off the hook
Jonathan Healy on Lunchtime at Newstalk.
Sorry for going off topic.
but all this talk of radio has made me realise that we havent had a Pat Kenny story in over a week!
How is he..?
Pat Kenny used to be a great way for me to get some sleep, he’s so bloody boring he’d put an insomniac asleep for a week
I’d hate to say it myself, but Kenny is head and shoulders above the rest. As a broadcast journalist he’s superb. He has no equal in Ireland {and it pains me to say that}.
Did he move to newstalk after
Good article Christine. Between this article and Hugh O’Connell, Michelle Hennessy, Sinéad O’Carroll, Aoife Barry, and Daragh Brophy’s article on the Banking crisis today the Journal seems to dramatically upping its game. Most welcome.
Can somebody explain why we have the broadcasting moratorium that exists from the day before an election (and I presume a referendum) in Ireland? It seems a bit antiquated.
Because we,re regulated into a knot in this country in the things that don’t matter and not in others like banks and developers.
Please correct me if I am wrong on this but are all high court judges elected by politicians?and if so if this referendum is passed who is going to elect the next group of Judges? Politicians! That is something I don’t understand and if this is about the supreme court than the Government will always win unless you have the extradorinary amount of money to challange in the European Court or Civil rights courts. To me this is not very well debated. Kenny will not Discuss or will any politician so to me I have to vote no and I don’t believe newspapers they are editors opinions.
The IT and Indo both ran Susan Denham’s speech supporting change – we must have a Court of Appeal but I am not telling people how to vote (yeh, right!) – but prevented readers commenting on the story.
Why the censorship?
Does anyone believe that these new toothless BAI codes are actually going to make a difference to VB and the rest? No is the answer. Nothing will change. Politicians will continue to waffle, VB will continue to shout, Mary Daly will continue to give soft interviews, Sean O’ Rourke is now too busy being an entertainer, Dobson will still be more concerned about his make up than anything else, George Hook will continue to make himself centre stage, morning Ireland and Ivan Yates are a little too early in the morn for me.
