Because even the best things in life can be shit

Sport Relief is a bag of self-aggrandising shit if ever I saw one. The BBC invents a charity event, then proceeds to report its existence everywhere, and even people who have nothing to do with sport whatsoever start bandwaggoning the whole thing for all it is worth. Well Done. You should all be knighted – [...]

I just logged into the Shitopedia for the first time in ages and I can tell you that the quality of comments received has not improved much in nearly a year! Of course, if you like something that someone is calling “shit” for one reason or another, you’re going to disagree, but try to do [...]

Swearing is a legitimate form of communication, and one of my favourites, alongside talking, arguing and shouting. People who are against swearing are therefore royally dumped into the Shit category by me. I read an interesting quote one day which said: If you don’t like obscenity, you don’t like the truth. If you don’t like [...]

The evergreen pushy momma’s boy Usher is a perennial irritant: coming back year after year with his absurd lyrics and insanely catchy base-lines. Usher’s music is generally above average; the guy can sing; and he also, in his mother, has a built in maternal publicity/management machine. And this is where my questions begin to appear. [...]

Will & Grace has two qualities that none of us look for in a comedy: it’s turgid and unfunny. For some reason, team written American comedy is still huge, whether the producers are still churning it out or television schedulers around the world are still showing endless repeats in back-to-back episodes, we simply cannot get [...]

How very seasonal! How very wonderful! The day when we all get to lie to each other and call it a joke. April fools gags can be funny – wearing a sling to work, saying you won £5,000 on a scratchcard, or something equally harmless and witty, but when newspapers and tv stations feel the [...]

Its time for a new Shitopedia feature. The first ever Shitopedia feature to be precise, after a raft of wholly unsatisfactory ‘news’ wends its way to us every day: on the television, in the newspapers and on the internet. Each day, I hear at least one story where I think “Is that news? Is that [...]

I don’t mind the old ex-sassers little reads but why, for the sake of all that is holy, can’t the man invent a character who DOESN’T “throw food down his neck”… At the very least, come up with another sentence to describe the act of eating.
