From BBC News: The family of terminally ill reality TV star Jade Goody have expressed their support for a tribute issue of OK! magazine which went on sale this week. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of women going through this, so where’s their multi-million pound financial support? Goody became famous for being unintelligent and [...]

If you only see one film this week, go to see “Gran Torino”. Eastwood is superb, and the (young) supporting cast around him nothing short of brilliant. It’s laugh-out-loud-even-though-you-know-it’s-wrong stuff for a while, and then you get hit around the forehead with a shovel.

Apple censors what you can do with it, the cheeky fuckers. As applications can only be installed through the AppStore, Apple controls the software that’s available to you. That’s possibly fair to an extent (should an app. that goes in to the detail of making nuclear warheads from Coke cans and banana skin be available?) [...]

Why do these people talk so damn fast? Do they think that if they blurt out their pitch at the speed of light we’d be any more interested in their crappy conversation? Most of them blather on so quickly you can’t even understand their company’s name – isn’t that an important part of a pitch [...]

Surely the most absurd device in the world. A battery-powered vibrating device to which one attaches a soap-enriched “cleansing pad”. Advertised by a twenty year-old vacuous bimbo from High School Musical 3, I wonder how many dumb broads will realise the the reason Vanessa Hudgens (truly a star’s name if ever there were one) has [...]

Companies of all sizes are saturated with middle-management cocksuckers who consistently churn out phrases like “touch base”, “value added”, “take it offline”, and so on. My current favourite is “metric fuck tonne”. It’s not from a company meeting, but Dexter, series 3. Debra has a filthy vocabulary, but she cracks me up. I can’t wait [...]

Apart from Suzi Perry, is there any point to the reviews on this show? This week’s episode put three digital cameras against each other while phoographing Dean Macy (decathlete) indoors, going through various decathlon events. The cameras that were pitched against each other in a “comparative” test were a Panasonic Lumix pseudo-SLR, the new Casio [...]

Since Neighbours went to 5 the schedule’s screwed and I’ve lost track of whose tits are whose, so I’ve given up. The thing is, “Come Dine With Me” is pretty much all that’s left until “The Simpsons”. However, it’s one of those programmes that makes one wonder where they find these horrible, generally over-weight, egotistical [...]

Assistant: Hi. Do you need help with anything? Me: Yes. I’m after a bit of advice. Assistant: OK. Me: I bought a PS3 here in December, and while running it over HDMI to an LCD TV the screen frequently goes black for just one second, then it comes back. Assistant: Ooh, I haven’t heard of [...]
