When major events happen in the U.S., I often check foreign newspapers out of curiosity about how they're covered. So I was reading the London Times coverage of the hurricane -- which is, in fact, the top story even in England.

The hurricane coverage is much like it is here; there were no surprises. Most amusing to me, though, is that the "World" section of the Times Online has five subsections: Iraq, America, Europe, Middle East, and Michael Jackson.

Yes, Michael Jackson. The London Times has a massive section all about the Michael Jackson trial. Page after page of it. Like, 1/5 of the World section of it.

The "Michael Jackson" section has a link at the top for "read other news about America here", connecting you to the America section. The "America" section, incidentally, has a similar link at the top for Michael Jackson.

Weird.
