FOX News are doommongering fucktards, it's links time!

Firstly, not funny, but damn, I thought the Sun and the Daily Mail were full of over the top bollocks., then I saw this, from the Fox News Network, essentially saying the Nintendo DS is a tool for paedophiles...the fuckwits.

Now this could have been a small, informative piece, telling parents that the DS has a text chat system, and to teach the kids about safe use, IF they have a DS and not a mobile phone or the internet, which both do the same thing. But no, its basically saying Nintendo want your kids meeting perverts.

If this is the quality broadcasting of Fox, its no wonder they're seen as 'that station with the Simpsons and nothing else worth watching'.

On a brighter note, Dr Ashen deserves his own place on TV reviewing tat in his own style, although he may have to be a bit more careful with his language. Go see his review of the 'Megacrisper' home microwave crisp maker, and the DS clone (costs about £5 and is overpriced by about £10).

An extremely peurile and offensive Tintin - Geordie edition (sweary)

After Katie Price and Peter Andre got a sudden flood of 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews on Amazon for their CD, it seems a similar thing is going on with the release of Richard Littlejohn's book of how wheelie bins and immigrants have destroyed Britain, heh.

Here's a typical Review snippet -

Like 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being', 'A Brief History of Time' and 'The Bible', Littlejohn's earlier work 'To Hell In A Handcart' looked set to be the next in line of impenetrable heavyweight tomes that nobody read past the first chapter. At the time, I headed a one-man campaign urging readers to give this work the attention it deserved. Persevere, I said, and be rewarded. Every subtle twist of dialogue and style will surprise; only upon turning the final page will the truth be revealed.

So it was with excitement tinged with trepidation that I approached Littlejohn's latest. He'd naturally had to dumb down his work upon moving from The Sun to The Daily Mail, and rare is the sequel that better its original. But this is no Tesco Value 'me too!', this is a special edition 'Taste the Difference' made by the lad Oliver himself. Where once Littlejohn's handcart was Tressell's Cave, now Littlejohn's Britain is Blatchford's Utopia. Littlejohn piles his new handcart high with Swift, Fielding, Whittier, Engels and, even at times, Chaucer; sending it hurtling down Merrie England's hills, casting haywains asunder.

What makes it more amusing, is the 'people who viewed this, also viewed' has two B3ta people's books, and Charlie Brooker's, who wrote 'Nathan Barley' for Channel 4 and actually reviewed the Littlejohn book by its cover, because it saved time.

Possibly the greatest internet timesaver ever? If you know someone who hasn't had the internet before, when you know they are getting it, send them this link, as it will save them hours of looking up rude placenames in the world. Don't pretend you never did!

Ifound a clip of a wheelchair bound boy band, from Sweden I believe, 'Boys on Wheels', who are obviously playing it for laughs, if you skip the first minute or so they'll start on some familiar stuff . I wasn't sure if it was horribly offensive or funny, but hey, they're making cash and getting fame, and good luck to em! I do always think disabled people trying to do disabled humour always have a disadvantage immediately because people just aren't ready to laugh at them, though.

Anyway, that'll do for now.
