Bob Geldof's launch of the Peace Channel - which ‘brings online video and user-generated content to global conflict resolution' - proves that Homer Simpson was right. There really isn't anything that rock stars can't do or know.
According to the press release, the online TV channel will cover the world's wars and potential flashpoints and it is being launched at the Point of Peace summit in Stavanger.
It sounds awful - aside from the astonishing arrogance of the man, thinking that he, and he alone, can resolve world peace - who exactly is going to watch it? Geldof seems to think it will be ‘a global arena for anyone who wants to share and access information about ongoing conflicts'. So sounds like ideal viewing for war voyeurs and potential jihadists.
