Dodgey is not exactly apt but getting there. Dr Lee Rotherham explains exactly who Labour MEPs share a grouping with over there in Brussels. Be prepared to cringe.

(Ma)Rooney does it again…

Not content with getting kicked out of England’s crucial game for kicking the wrong ball(s); he is threatening to split his Man U teammate Ronaldo in half. Why is it a good idea to have children look up to footie players…again?

FIFA is investigating the incident. Not quite sure what it will accomplish.

Cheap Blotter Trip; No Police Blotter Stop

July 03rd, 2006 | Category: Amusements

An animated optical pattern that induces visual distortions familiar to LSD users. Not that I would know anything about that.

And no, it isn’t what’s known as a “flash screamer,” i.e., something that bids you to pay close attention to the screen and then suddenly switches to a snarling demon.

Maybe it was funny the first time someone did it, but it’s now just irritating and juvenile. Also, I got stung by another one yesterday.

But even if it’s irritating and juvenile, it’s still funny to watch other people get hit. Warning: Music in first link; banners maybe NSFW in second; sounds.
