Two WTF reactions

Helmeted teachers of autistic students stir debate

The title says it all. Run down:

Teachers feel threatened dealing with autistic children, and no, not a freaking horde of them. Each teacher only has four kids. (Not to underestimate the aggressiveness of autistic children of course, as the crude article implies them to be freaking violent wackos)

So, the principal came up with the wacky idea to have the teachers wear helmets. I went into What the Fuck mode. (What kind of helmet, I wonder? Football, hockey, biking, astronaut?) But before I had the time to start ranting about this, the very short article ends with something along the lines of
Doris Dubé, a spokeswoman of the Abitibi Autism Society of Quebec saying something like : the school's decision creates a negative image of people with autism.

Dayum, woman! I don't think a teacher dead from pens stuck in his skull by autistic children help the image of autistic people either, now does it?

======================================
Did something very rare for me: Watch TV. (I hate the advertisements—I'll rant about that one day)

I watched the news in time to see a rather fat spokesman for the QC government, or Loto-quebec, I'm not really sure, but it doesn't really matter when you think about it. Either body gambles, reaps in profit, but I digress.
Anyways, he's talking about how Loto-Quebec is going to start an online gambling website, to supplement the existing lotteries they own. Online gambling sites are technically illegal, but on the internet, laws get blurred, ignored, or disregarded because it's damn hard to prosecute. This is what he says, word for word:

"Those sites exist and whether they are legal or not, they are a 25 billion dollar industry."

His partner continues to say how it would be a good idea because they'd make a lot of money out of it.

HOLY FREAKING SHIT. You don't give a shit if it's illegal or not eh. Hey! It makes money! Let's go for it! What the fuck do you think you are? The mafia? Oops, I forgot, they actually look out for their family.

Not very reassuring when your province's government thinks it's above the law isn't it?
They need to stop smoking fleur-de-lis.
