The boy, who has not been named, was playing the popular shooter game on his Sony PlayStation console on July 1 this year when...

A blonde walks into a bar and says "I'll have a...
And the men around her all snigger and mutter amongst themselves about how fucking stupid she must be because they’re incredibly bitter and sad. After her beer the blonde goes home and talks to her friends on the internet for a while before watching some TV and going to bed. The men stay at the bar and drink until closing time, at which point half of them go home to despondent depressed...

There’s a problem with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Half the articles I’ve seen written by major news sites have stated that from what they can tell, there is no basic call for anything. And I agree with them. There’s no demand. I hate to make it sound like they’re holding Wall Street ransom, but isn’t that what they’re effectively trying to do?
Granted, the exact...

“Our range is worn by A list celebrities to the likes of Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez and Katy Perry to name only a few. Now, as one might appreciate, the style counsel for these types of celebrities are not ones to pick “run of the mill” type clothing, and they do so on the basis to ensure that the styles are cutting edge, and only worn by a select few. Similarly these items are priced...

otisthefish replied to your post: I think that Jonathan Safran Foer knows that sad and beautiful are connected.
You should see Everything Is Illuminated, if you haven’t already. It only focuses on one story within the book, but I feel like it preserved that story well. And it certainly didn’t plop in a happy ending where it doesn’t belong, if I remember right.
Everything is Illuminated only...
Just sent a facebook message.
To somebody that I barely know. Haven’t spoken to them for three years. But the last time I spoke to them, I was incredibly rude. I was rude to them because they were an enemy of a friend, which at the time was a good enough reason for them to be my enemy. Doubt they even remember me, letalone my rudeness. But it’s bugged me for three years.
So I just sent them a long email explaining...

Also, jus quickly,
if i typed out my posts like this with even more erors than usual it would not by any meens change the content of my blog.
Because syntax is not content.
So all of you assholes out there that think you’re daddy cool because you know where to drop the apostrophe, shut up. Yes it helps, yes it’s neater, yes it’s prettier, but it’s not entirely necessary. If we could...

But Hollywood doesn’t, and never will. In Hollywood a story either starts of sad and gets happy or starts of happy, gets sad, and then gets REVENGE. The idea of a sad movie with nuanced elements of hope and inspiration just doesn’t exist. “A ‘sad movie’ you say? But Ted, who’d want to be sad? No, let’s do the other one. The one where the educated white...

I am a fucking push-over.
And the cause of my unhappiness is the fact that I am not enough of a cunt to force people to be decent. Not even nice, just decent. So instead I’ll wash putrid meat juice out of the fridge and spend the week driving people around and moving furniture and then I’ll wonder why I’m too tense to relax my muscles when I go to bed at night. Consider this passive aggressive post the...

Malcolm Tucker: This is important stuff, Hugh! Right, we do a weekly digest for the Prime Minister, we boil down the week’s television, cinema, music, so on. Oliver Reeder: The Zeitgeist tapes. Malcolm Tucker: Exactly, the Zeitgest tapes. EastEnders highlights, choice bits from all the reality shows, 10 seconds music videos, that kind of thing. Hugh Abbott: That’s why the PM always...

iManipulate Children.
I don’t know what they’re doing in other countries, but in Australia schools have an opportunity to get ipads for all of the teachers on their staff for a year. The idea is they review how helpful they are for the teachers. At the end of the year if they liked them the teachers can buy theirs for a price that’s way below retail. Great idea right? The teachers don’t even...
