HEY REMEMBER US?!!?!?!?

Egypt's army has cracked down on protests in Cairo's symbolic Tahrir Square, leaving at least one person dead and dozens injured.

The violence occurred overnight as the army tried to clear protesters calling for ex-President Hosni Mubarak and his family to be tried for corruption.

The injured suffered gunshot wounds but the army denies using live rounds.

Oh, that’s right. I’ve forgotten. In today’s world where we have the attention of fruit flies and the media is ever on the lookout for the next big story, we tire of the very things that are presented to drive us into some kind of righteous indignation.

Can you say bread and circuses anyone?
