The internet will not eat your children

Posted by Bindi  Published in Computers, Internet

The other day we received a booklet through the post from John Howard. It provided guidance and advice on how to protect your children from the internet. I was pleased that Mr Howard had taken the time to explain the dangers of the internet to me because: (a) I don’t have any children, and; (b) [...]

Pokemon, manga, anime and Akira

Posted by Bindi  Published in Culture, Movies, TV

The artistry and pure ingenuity of these animations is admirable -but why are they so strange? Nothing has ever quite disturbed me as watching these cartoons. Maybe it was just poor translation or maybe they really were as bizarre as the script suggested. Since Pokemon became so popular, people started to watch other Japanese manga [...]

Marie Antoinette

Posted by Jumbo  Published in Movies

I just finished watching the movie Marie Antoinette. There’s an hour and a half of my life I’ll never get back. What a truly awful film. Absolutely nothing happens. Historically, it is shambolic. The accents and language range from American, to Oxford English, with a dose of pseudo French accents in one or two actors, [...]

Useless Studies

Posted by Jumbo  Published in Culture, News, Normal Life

Every day, it seems, we are given the results of a completely useless ‘study’ in news reports. These usually share one or all of the following elements of uselessness: Absolute mind-crushingly obviousness – e.g. “Scientists have discovered that people enjoy doing nice things…” Completely pointless research – e.g. “Researchers at the New York University have [...]

Phones playing music

Posted by Booshfan  Published in Music, Normal Life, People, Products, Street Life

One of the shittiest and annoying things one has to cope with in modern life is mobile phones that are also mp3 players. Now, I do agree that perhaps having a mobile phone that doubles as an mp3 player is a good idea, as it saves carrying both things around, but to listen to this [...]

Why doesn’t that surprise me?

Posted by AngryOldWoman  Published in Business, Celebrities, News, Normal Life, People, Rip-Offs, Uncategorized, Working Life

In this day and age of transparency, when even the smallest parish councillor must declare an interest if an agenda item is in any way connected to him; and when professionals such as lawyers, accountants and the like must at all times be aware of any potential conflict of interest, why does this care-fulness not [...]

Akon

Posted by Jumbo  Published in Celebrities, Music, People, Radio

There are few musicians or musical acts around who annoy me more than Akon. The man has one real problem, given his career choice of being a mediocre at best singer: he has the most irritating voice in the world. Listening to Akon’s whiny strains has been likened by some to the enjoyable experience of [...]

The Crazy Frog

Posted by Bindi  Published in Culture, Music, Products, Rip-Offs, Software, Uncategorized

Never has there been a more infuriating little frog. On the scale of wierdness, the Toad out of The Wind and the Willows was pretty strange -but he was a gentleman of sorts and certainly didn’t have his male genitalia hanging out. The incomprehensible “Daa Daa Di Daa Daa” etc also adds to the perverse [...]

Dida of AC Milan

Posted by Jumbo  Published in People, Sport, TV

I love football and I’m a keeper, so I generally stick up for the man between the posts. However, what Dida of AC Milan did in their UEFA Champions League match against Celtic yesterday places him firmly in the Shitopedia forever. I’m not putting him in for the mistake that led to Celtic winning the [...]

David Letterman

Posted by Jumbo  Published in Celebrities, People, TV

My word, how this man still has a TV show is quite beyond me! I watched the David Letterman show the other day when I couldn’t sleep. It scared me so much I was nearly up all night. The jokes he tells are bad enough, but what nearly made me lose a night’s sleep was [...]
