Meritocracy Shmeritocracy: The DEI World Tour

We’ve got this great idea for a Hip-Hop supergroup… Dappy from N-Dubz, Eminem from D-12 and Iggy Azalea from a mud-brick house that her dad built; together they could form a rap trio called “D.E.I.”. Dappy, Eminem & Iggy could then tour the world and presumably outperform every black Hip-Hop musician in existence because they’re the G.O.A.T.s right? While we try to get this threesome …

Celebrity Gene Splicing: How They Made Nigel Farage

Why on earth would anyone vote for Nigel Farage? Why would someone vote to change the NHS to an insurance-based system, leave the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal parts of the Employment Rights Act or to lower the minimum wage? Some folk say that only a thick, racist bellend who only cares about “stopping the boats” would put a cross next to the Reform …

Algospeak Is The New Newspeak: Starting A YouTube Movie Review Channel

I want to start a YouTube channel, or maybe a TikTok where I can post the odd movie review. I’d love to talk about all of my favourite films but I hear there’s a few language guidelines these days. I wouldn’t want to get demonetised or booted off any platform just for speaking about something as innocuous as the movies, but surely that won’t happen …

Almost Like It Is Real: Stranger Things Season 5 Predictions

It has now been over two years since Stranger Things season four’s shocking finale, where we saw the Upside Down begin its violent ground assault into Hawkins, Indiana. We all know Vecna, the leader of the Upside Down (along with his army made up of the Mind Flayer and its subordinates the Demogorgons) want to commit genocide in Hawkins but strangely, there are fans of …

A Far-Right Brit On Israel: “Hamas, Hamas, Antisemitism, Hamas, October 7th, Hamas!”

Do I care about Gaza? I tell ya, I couldn't give a shit, probably because I'm a thick, racist, hypocritical git. I support Israel, whatever they do is justified and correct, when I hear Netanyahu speak, I get slightly erect...

All Along The LG Washtower: Another Advertising Earworm

Earworms are a big problem. Once you’ve heard “I Got High” playing in those Puma ads or that godawful Activia Kefir song (every morning is a special morning for your gut!) obviously written by a bunch of 5 year olds, you’ll be humming those terrible ditties all day long. You only have to watch those failed kid’s telly presenters in the Pepto Bismol ad singing …

Celebrity Gene Splicing: How They Made Emile Hirsch

You may think Emile Hirsch’s parents are “Margaret” and “David” but...

The Incredible Casting Crew: Taika Waititi As Alex Karp

Our latest film pitch is a day in the life of Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp. We can’t really relate to the life of an anti-woke billionaire, so our movie might not be that accurate but here goes… our film begins with Alex styling his hair with the static from a balloon and doing a bit of naked tai chi in front of a 13-foot …

The Incredible Casting Crew: Roger Davies As Sean John Combs

There’s nothing like making entertainment out of other people’s misery, so with that in mind, we think it’s high time to tell the Puff Daddy aka Puffy aka P. Diddy aka Diddy aka Sean John Combs aka Sean Love Combs story...
