SONY-BMG MEGANOPOLY GETS APPROVAL: Frankly, we're shocked that the American Federal Trade Commission said 'oh, go on then' to the Sony-BMG merger, almost as if the chaps on the panel were in total thrall to big business. BMG spokesbots praised the EU and US investigations into the union, describing them as "diligent", although they spoiled the effect somewhat by putting their hand over the microphone, turning round and saying "although they never found that stuff about..." before being poked in the ribs by executives making fevered throat-cutting motions.
