Guernsey birds and moths
and other such nonsense
Hamlet as a Facebook news feed
I think this is excellent - it is written by someone called Sarah Schmelling on the McSweeneys website, and photoshopped by Angela Liao. I had seen the text previously on the aforementioned site and was going to photoshop it myself but this is such a great job, no need!
European Union Superheroes
The uberbrains in Brussels have created a set of superheroes to promote the EU. Apparently, "Captain Euro plays a crucial role in the building of a European identity. His message is about protecting and nurturing European diversity and culture while creating a strong and powerful brand that unites us at European level." But Captain Euro is clearly the dullest superhero ever: "Travelling the world with his parents, Adam learned to cope with the adult social world from an early age. As a child, participation in an experimental language programme, enabled Adam to become a polyglot. Captain Euro has taken a difficult vow: "To use, wherever possible, intellect, culture and logic - not violence - to take control of difficult criminal situations." Captain Euro is a diplomatic hero - the symbol of European unity and values. As well as being fluent in many languages, Captain Euro, as Adam Andros, was a first class student of Information Technology. Euro combines his acquired language and technology skills with his international 'savoir faire' and his natural investigative curiosity, to protect Europe and carry Europe's message of goodwill around the world." Hmmmm . . . . I'm sure his 'savoir faire' will protect him against a terrorists bomb. I am so looking forward to the movie . . . . Read more about him and his crew here. Just think - it is your tax money that has gone into creating this dullard. . |  |
Hangin' Tough
A year ago, myself and Murfaldo started to produce a rival to St. Peter Port School's official musical, "Joseph". We were going to star in it of course, and it was going to be based on the life and times of the legendary band "New Kids on the Block". We wrote the first scene - where Donnie comes out of prison and meets back up with his homeboy Danny the Horse - and it went down very well. The producers of Joseph were so worried when they heard about "Hanging Tough - The Musical" that they begged us both to join their cast and the plans for Hangin' Tough were shelved. But here is that legendary first scene in animated form (click the picture below)
