The Rise Of The Attention Whore

People can't do simple practical things anymore without turning them into 'events' or moments people will remember for the rest of their lives. This inability to behave normally is twinned with their ongoing search for their fifteen minutes of fame.
A perfect example of this is the increase in the amount of staged wedding ceremony 'performances' which have been filmed and uploaded to You Tube. You know the ones where the bride and groom surprise everybody by launching into a full choreographed dance act to a popular piece of music, which then ends up being broadcast as an "and finally" segment on the local news. Or their video goes viral and they become internet sensations overnight, (see below).
I want to see the footage of the wedding performances which didn't go so smoothly. I want to be at that wedding where the act grinds to an embarrassing halt because somebody fell and broke their tibia, or launched into a diva like tirade because the best man forgot the routine. I want to be at that wedding where the whole wedding party watch on in horror as a tsunami of uneasiness washes over us all. Give me that wedding any day and in the meantime just get fucking married and be done with it.

Gaga And Klinger Separated At Birth


I don't care for Lady Gaga's music, or any of the other commercial shite doing the rounds right now, but watching her Poker Face video the other night I couldn't believe how much she looks like Corporal Maxwell Klinger from Mash. At least Klinger had talent and better dress sense.

Babes Of The BNP

Where the fuck do you begin with a topic like this? Its apparent somebody somewhere involved with the British Nationalist Party thought that it would be a good idea, in between petrol bombing mosques and bashing the gays, to comprise an article in the same fashion as FHM's High Street Honeys, only instead of stunning young models they used moderately attractive, mouth breathing, female BNP members.
The idea itself isn't bad for a political party looking to sex things up to attract a younger demographic, but when your party is solely based upon ugly politics then your members aren't going to be breaking hearts any time soon...just the heads of various ethnic minorities.
The questions asked throughout the article are ludicrous, for example: Which do you dislike more Muslims or Jews? Towel or rag? Hitler - hero or villain? Would it be possible to maybe come to a comprise with a noble race like the Chinese? Perhaps keep them on as a sort of servant class?
Be warned you may experience an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion after reading this article which comes only after dipping your toes into the waters of fascism. Depressing as fuck!
