ROPMA on Israeli children
If Israeli children get killed by Islamo-kazis, it’s fine. You see, it’s the children’s fault for being in Israel in the first place. Where can you find this bit of ROPMA caring & sharing? Why, in an Egyptian government daily newspaper of course.
This is not surprising after you realise they truly believe like this guy.
Faisal from Tullkarm: “I know better Israelis; they are dead.”But there is no justification for the wall, is there?

The Murrays had a baby yesterday. He is called George (so presumably that means he is a boy), and both mother & he are healthy and happy. Dodgeblogium sends its congratulations and best wishes to the entire Murray family on this happy occasion.

Found this bit of idiocy via Radley’s blog...
Stanley Kurtz probably thought he was being cute with the following post. Instead, he sounds like an ignorant muppet.
If you think Janet Jackson was something, take a look at this. This is part of the deepening differences between predominantly secular Scandinavia and Northern Europe, on the one hand, and more traditionally Catholic parts of Southern and Eastern Europe, on the other.
What he doesn’t seem to realise or bother to check is the fact that Eastern Europe has a very healthy “extreme metal” scene. This type of stuff is popular all over Europe, no doubt in reaction to the all intrusive Catholic Church. Poland has a healthy collection of death metal bands, including Vader and Behemoth.
And, since Southern Europe was mentioned, here is a list of few more purveyors of death metal that hail from those parts.
In short, the use of black/death metal as part of Stanley’s point is really a no-starter, as there are metal bands as extreme as Gorgoroth all over Europe including Russia. Oh yeah, Stanley, and the oh so religious US has a very healthy death, extreme and doom metal scene as well.
3 commentsFirst Janet Jackson naked, now Rotten yells “Cunts”
Janet Jackson only needs to flash her breast to get America outraged, at least John Lydon has to shout “fucking cunts” to secure a few complaints.
Despite issuing an apology for Lydon’s comments on a live segment of ‘I’m A
Celeb’, ITV insiders say that the 98 complaints they have received from an
estimated audience of 12 million shows how things have changed – even though
the show is on quite late you would have expected more outrage in the past.
Certainly the fall out was nothing compared to what followed that other
famous Lydon live TV outburst when – having been challenged by BBC presenter Bill Grundy to “say something outrageous” on tea time telly – Lydon called the presenter a “fucking rotter” – a TV moment that caused questions to be asked in the Commons, a tabloid frenzy and, of course, the Daily Mirror’s famous ‘The Filth and the Fury’ headline.
Despite all that ITV confirmed they were adding a slight time delay to the
live segments of the jungle show: “We’ve no wish to offend viewers or mar
their enjoyment. We’re therefore building a very short time delay into
transmission to enable us to bleep unacceptable language.”
Though as one caller to Radio 5 Live pointed out – you have to assume ITV
expected some Lydon swearing: “My nine-year-old daughter begged me to stay
up and watch it, but I didn’t let her because I expected bad language. I mean for goodness sake, why else have they got Johnny Rotten on?”

It is obvious that Rotten was included on the show to provide some “personality”. Let’s face it, most of the other contestants don’t have much. I am sure ITV chiefs were well aware that Rotten would give the show an audience that would not normally want to watch a bunch of spoiled celebrities whinge. Now all he needs to do is punch Peter Andr.
