ANZAC Day Controversies

As you may or may not know, there were several controversies surrounding this year's ANZAC Day ceremonies at Gallipoli. First, there was Australian PM, John Howard, snubbing the New Zealand memorial service. Then there was the Turkish government prohibiting the performing of the Haka, citing it as offensive. Now the Bee Gees video performance is being criticized (hat tip to Vilmar for this one).

This is a solemn occassion, and it saddens me to see it mired in such trivial nonsense.
