Apparently some men like to feel that they can overpower even Wonder Woman, through their stealth and more importantly, knowledge of anesthetics. I can only assume that this is yet another attempt to get sexy, even fetishistic stuff onto YouTube, but... for God's sake.

This whole thing is thouroughly disturbing. I can only imagine the final text that comes up relates to something sexual. But I'm not sure what.

I've done Bog Snorkelling before, but never have I taken part in Cheese Rolling on Cooper's Hill, Gloucestershire, partly because I would just be taken apart by these beings:

(I am also not really a fan of Double Gloucester Cheese, so I don't think I'd ever go out of my way to get my hands on some)
Thanks to Danny for sending me this link, in a message entitled 'now that's what I call humour'.

Bearded man count: 1
Loch Ness Monster count: disputable

Spotted today: a man cleaning a window with the largest pole I have ever seen. Click to see the pole even larger (although respectively the same size).

My God. The logo for the 2012 games was revealed today in a 'star-studded' ceremony. Just look at it.

Understandably, within 1 hour of the launch there was a petition launched against it. 3000 signatures and counting.

No-one's really sure why they didn't just stick with the old one. Apparently, this new logo aims to be "dynamic, modern and flexible" and "will work with new technology and across traditional and new media networks". As a b3ta member stated:

"THE OLD ONE WAS FINE. IT WORKED ACROSS ALL KINDS OF FUCKING NETWORKS."

Or as someone on the BBC forum says:

I cant stop laughing!
Lisa Simpson giving head is the official 2012 London Olympic logo!

At risk of being tagged 'old' - living all the way over in London I have only just discovered that Hilary Clinton seems to have taken a leaf out of our book and set up a YouTube competition to write a song. And then presented a show in which she takes the piss out of the entries. She's not so bad at it. The media whore.

Whimsy 1:
I discovered the website: Pot-Partner today, where you can be rest assured that your drugs-alignment will be similar to your potential sexual partner. A little unneccessary, but if it's successful we're hoping to create a 'coonan-carers' site in which people who hate Donal will be unlikely to find their perfect match.

Actuallly, the only person who hates him (that I know of) is a man called thorpefilms who left a long and angry comment on YouTube, including:

"I really dont like this present nor do my friends. We have a A3 picture of his face in the student common room at college, and we put gum on it, in fact thats a bigger hit that this show!"

(thorpefilms' YouTube account is now suspended)

Whimsy 2:
this video is good (although the new-look YouTube makes me angry)

Whimsy 3:
The world's first megawatt-sized wind turbine was built on Grandpa's Knob.

Prepare yourself for a fad:

also:

And somewhere else... DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY! [beware - it's 9mins.])

Remember when we featured Riz MC? Well, he's got in touch to tell Donal about a part of 'the industry' we never knew:

"You may know Bollywood is the worlds highest grossing film industry and makes more films than almost any other. Buts thats just North India... they dont make as many as the South does...

In South India you have Tollywood - which is the Telugu language film industry,

and then Kollywood - which is the Tamil language film industry.

If you've heard bollywood stars get treated like gods, then you ain't ready for Kollywood. all the major politicians down south are ex film stars, they are LITERALLY WORSHIPPED and thats not a metaphor - they're deified in temples. Box office sales are huge, its like maoist personality cults with bad films.

The ultra don daddy of all Kollywood stars is Rajinikanth. His new film, BOSS, opened today. It's already sold out all over the entire province for the next whole week, and caused widespread mayhem

You have to watch the trailer. It is NOT a spoof:

I know I know. Two posts in one week revolving around the greatness of our friend Rizwan. But really, please. Watch this clip. It isn't funny, but it is amazing. Watch right to the end, since the last minute and a half is taken up with his latest track. When he comes to make the video, I think it'll be a little different to Post 9/11 Blues

This Summer's Sam Has Seven Friends could be (but is probably not) Where Are The Joneses... a fictional daily video blog about a woman searching for 26 siblings she didn't even know she had.

Here's the first ever episode:

Ford, its sponsor, even suggests that you get involved yourself and apply to be a character in the show. Please let us know if you do.

Anyway - is it me or does this whole thing (the impro-comedy, the talking off-screen director) seem a little too similar to our very own side-project, Different Lives? Hmmm.

Yes, the Goatse. Have I seen one? Better. I own one.

Perhaps the most worrying thing about this whole affair is that the Goetze had been right in my face for years and I never even realised it.

It's a while since we reported on a flashmob, and this one really lights up as the most interesting for a while: why not excercise your right to suck your deathsticks on the very day that the UK goes smoke-free, in surely the worlds first AshMob. To really show your solidarity, the organisers suggest that you dress up as a cigarette:

Simple. All you need is the three key colours:
* Gold - for the filter
* White - for the body of the cig
* Red - for the lit end

There's a good chance there'll be loads of people there this Sunday. If it's not raining.

(ps. sorry for the hiatus... we're back now...)
