This is brilliant. It’s the main Axis of Evil players made up as lego characters. Sadam even glows in the dark to represent that he is dead.

Here’s a great video from The Daily Show showing how bizarre the reactions have been to the horrible Virginia Massacre. A classic quote:
Maybe if one or two of those people had a gun they could have shot this shooter
Do some people actually believe this rubbish?
The best part is the blame game undertaken by the […]

Ok, so I’ve been reporting some offensive ads that I’ve seen recently to Advertising Standards Bureau, you really should join with me and start denouncing some of the garbage we’re forced to put up with, and I thought it might be interesting to see what complaints have succeeded and those that haven’t.

It’s amazing how easy it is to “waste time” these days. The internet provides us with a massive source of “knowledge”, yet I spent the last half hour looking up various comic book characters.

An rare unguarded glimpse at George W Bush was afforded to the media today at the G8 conference where somebody accidentally left his microphone on. The Guardian has a full transcript, and the BBC even has audio.
I never would have imagined that I’d hear President Bush use the sh-word, let alone when talking about […]

I unfortuneately missed Poor Whites on Foreign Correspondent recently, but I am informed by others that it was an excellent insight into the new South Africa.
As noted on the above site, the government minister made the interesting observation, questioning the attention paid to the plight of these “poor whites” - an island of […]
