How did we come to this?

I have been meandering around in my comfortable and privileged white male stupour under the impression that we (the Irish) are the biggest (per capita) tea drinkers in the world. Imagine my dismay then when I realise it is not the Irish at all. It is apparently some made up place called the U.A.E. whatever that is supposed to stand for. If you ask me this is a scam. I have never heard of this so-called place and I refuse to recognise their ownership of this prestigious position. Wikipedia can suck it and stop making up places that don't exist to usurp the one little tiny cup of pride the Irish have to hold on to. Banks can take our money, the government can bend us over  and repeatedly financially gangrape us, however get between me and my tea and I will be burning the fucking place to the ground. If this U.A.E. place turns out to be real I say we invade tomorrow. If we can't steal all their tea then we should at least annex it and make it part of Ireland so we can reclaim our rightful position on top of this list. This is our birthright people and all those heroes didn't die in a war against the hated British and then in a civil war so these phoney countries could steal our inheritance. PS To any Irish people who may stumble upon my plea for the reclamation of our noble heritage I have but one thing to say to you and that is: GET YOUR FUCKING KETTLES ON!

Look below to examine the lies.

Supposedly the list of the biggest per capita tea drinkers in the world!

"Many shall be called..."

If this reaches half of my expectations then it may very well make my 2012. Unfortunately I will have to wait until at least stinky April, though it will afford my girlfriend one of those rare opportunities to get me to a cinema. There have been many documentaries made about Marley's life; some better than others. However, given the fact that this is being distributed by Universal fills me with a hope that the resources were there to make it a cut above the rest. I don't see why it shouldn't be since Universal own everything of Marley's now, everything that is except for his secret weed stash. He took that secret to his grave.

CATCH-A-FIRE

As we move into the month in which Bob Marley would have celebrated his 67th birthday I have decided to post this excellent documentary about the making of his first album with an international music label. Catch A Fire, as this documentary shows, broke more than a little ground in musical terms. As well as propelling Marley on the path to becoming the first international superstar from the third world, it brought reggae to a mainstream audience, and moved it away from the common perception of it as novelty music. Marley showed the world that the roots of the music lay in rebellion and the search for truth, justice and basic human rights. Looking back on all Marley achieved from the launch of this album it is hard to believe that within ten years of its release he would be dead. THE MUSIC AND THE MESSAGE REMAIN. BOB MARLEY 1945-1981

Unfortunately the full video was removed from Youtube; this is just part 1/5. Anyway you all know how to use Youtube so off ye go.

FINKY -V- DERSHY

Since this should be mandatory viewing for anyone with an interest in intellectual/institutional honesty and/or the Israel/Palestine conflict I figured I would post it here, where no one will ever see it. Also it is fun to watch Alan Dershowitz squirm like a worm on hook. The now infamous Finkelstein/Dershowitz debate. To view simply follow the links below. (PS Look at Dershowitz, he even looks crazy, and this is in no way the result of a lengthy internet search finding a picture where he looks crazy. The search was in fact not lengthy at all.)

"What is with Buckley?"

What is it with William Buckley that makes him want to 'sock'/'smash' noted liberal intellectuals in the 'goddamn face'? Anyway a quick status update. Chomksy: Alive, Vidal: Alive, Buckley: Dead. HA HA They win.

BLEUGHHHHHHHH!

I was wondering today why baby food companies insist that there be no substantive difference in the appearance of their product when it is being eaten and when it is being shat out? Seeing the things that the baby eats splashed all around the kitchen really disturbs my own foodmaking processes; the main reason being that all of the little jars of diarrhoea coloured mush keep reminding of the couple of unpleasant times in my life I had food poisoning. It was at these times I became a one man baby food plant, and every tiny recepticle of shit resembling foulness brings back a hundred memories of smell, sound, sight and touch. I temporarily develop synesthesia, and for one moment in time when my eyes meet the globules of, for all intents and purposes, faecal matter on the walls I become the most reluctant savant on the face of the earth.

On the level of national sentiments (and don't get me wrong I am no nationalist) I recall the H-Block of the Maze Prison. Casting my mind back to the footage of dirty protests and starving men dying for their politics, I realise that there is no way in hell I can now enjoy my cheese sandwich and bowl of soup.

So I implore the producers of baby food to please do something to rectify this unfortunate situation. Add some colour; make it, as far as foodstuffs are concerned, totally esoteric. Make it blue, purple, pink, anything other than that horiffic yellowy brown, which when smeared all along a work surface makes me think that my dog has fallen ill again and somehow found his way on to the worktops.

Find out here what an overprivileged capitalist scumbag you really are. I in fact am in the top 13 per cent of overprivileged capitalist scumbags. I will keep reaching for my goals; top ten by end of 2012.

"She turned me into a newt!"

One of the single most horrific things I have ever seen! VIEW WITH EXTREME CAUTION!

Hooray for superstition; why is it that a load of shit we can't see makes us want to burn people alive? Of course these Nigerians are not the first to engage in these activities, fuelled as they are by some deeply repressed human desire to please our imaginary friends.
