  • BBC News - Tamiflu-resistant swine flu spreads between...

    Rated 03:30pm • 4 reviews • health, uk, scaremongering • bbc.co.uk


    "Health officials say a Tamiflu-resistant strain of swine flu has spread between hospital patients"

    OH MY GOD, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!
    Remember when there was all that hoo-har about SARS, which the media warned us about, in a totally calm, un-panicked, non-scaremongering way and then we all caught SARS and all died of it?

    And then there was Asian flu, which the media warned us about, in a totally calm, un-panicked, non-scaremongering way, which we all contracted and every-one died of.

    Then there was bird flu, which, again, was THE WORST THING EVER and we were warned but, hey, we all died from that too.

    Then there was swine flu, which had nothing to do with beastiality, but was worse than the worst thing ever and WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE

    Now, ladies and gentlemen, there's a new, super strain of swine flu, which cannot be cured by Tamiflu. the media are there to make sure we don't all panic, so don't worry and, just when you thought you had momentarily stopped worrying about all the various new ways in which you can die, adverts telling you how dangerous swine flu can be will appear on the tv and remind you, once more, that you should be panicking, there's nothing that can be done, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE OF SWINE FLU AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

    i have in no way over-reacted to this latest news, i don't think

    Rated 03:17pm • 1 review • tv, video, celebs • bbc.co.uk


    Queen of the TalkShow Oprah Winfrey announces her 'retirement' from the show after 25 years, in a tearful video on the BBC website.
    i think it's because she realises she has to take time out to travel and let Gary see Paris ;)

  • A cut too far: the rise in cosmetic vaginal surgery |...

    Rated 02:30pm • 2 reviews • cosmetic surgery • guardian.co.uk


    who the hell would get cosmetic surgery on their front-lady-bottom?
    who the hell would have surgery on their vj if they didn't need to?
    call me crazy, but this is a little too self-involved/indulged for my liking.

    the article tells how the number of     labiaplasty operations (a cosmetic procedure in which the inner labia is cut back) went from 669 in 2007 to 1,118 in 2008, in the Uk alone

    we're told the story of 'Anna', a woman in her mid 30s, who has gone ahead with the procedure after years of worrying about the appearance of her lady bits.
    "Before she had even turned 10, Anna had started worrying that there was something physically wrong with her...her inner labia...were too large"
    she did say there were some issues with the enlarged labia during intercourse, but it was more of a cosmetic issue
    if a woman was having this op for medical reasons, then yeh, fair enough, but the increase in the number of women undergoing the procedure is apparently due to increased vanity. One of the doctors, a     Dr Sarah Creighton,     who conducted the study said
    "When I began looking into the reasons for this enormous rise in surgery, my initial assumption was that women must be having it because they had suffered some sort of unusual physical damage, possibly in childbirth. It turns out that this was naive; in the vast majority of cases, labiaplasty is simply a response to the physical appearance of the labia, a desire for more "attractive" external genitalia (known collectively as the vulva). "

    if i ever wake up and think 'i have an ugly vagina, i must get that sorted out...' then shoot me. there's a whole heap of better things to waste your time worrying about and a hell of a lot better things to spend £3000 on

  • Dream man free after killing wife - AOL News

    Rated 02:06pm • 1 review • crime, news • aol.co.uk


    there's probably something quite wrong with me. when i saw the headline "Husband free after killing wife 'in a dream'" i didn't think how awful it must've been for the husband, or how it could be deemed as slightly suspicious, i thought 'ooh, that's a bit like that episode of the X Files where Skinner sleeps with that hooker and then wakes up to find her dead and every-one assumes he must've done it in his sleep'.
    i'm a product of a tv reliant generation, that's what i blame it on

    the photo amused me cos the child on the right of the central trio looks like he/she's having a little too good a time on red wine, for some-one so young anyway ;)

  • BBC NEWS | UK | M&Christmas TV ad offensive

    Rated Nov 19 • 2 reviews • uk, tv, advertising • bbc.co.uk


    the m&s "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas, without..." advert has come under scrutiny after the Advertising Standards Authority received 8 complaints which deemed the ad to be offensive.
    the tv advert features Sir Stephen of Fry 'mincing' ("well, it is only once a year"); Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders 'stuffing' their faces and several other Brit celebs promoting Marks & Spencers' products.

    for a few years, at least, there's been a model in the ads, who, for one reason or another, prances around in her matching m&s briefs and bra - it's almost a tradition.
    so, this year, she appears again, just as that guy who plays Gene Hunt in Life on Mars states "Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without that...prancing around in her underwear" he says 'bird' or 'lovely young girl' or words that sentiment, in what could be deemed as a slightly sexist tone and it is this aspect of the advert that has caused offense.
    for pity's sake, his character is a sexist, old fashioned man with 60's beliefs and morals (not in the good sense) why are people being offended by a character playing-up to his stereo-type in a 30 second advert?!...besides that, it's just a blumming advert, a relatively light hearted one at that too.
    it's like some-one being offended by the puppy in the Andrex ads cos you can see its bum. yeh, that ridiculous

    in the words of stewart lee 'it's political correctness gone mad!'

  • BBC News - Black Eyed Peas manager says sorry to Perez...

    "    The manager of US group the Black Eyed Peas has apologised to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton over an assault outside a Toronto nightclub"

    i'm certainly no advocate of violence, but, in this case, i can honestly say i can't blame any-one for hitting Perez Hilton. well, he is a bit of a bitch, isn't he (check out his twitter stream, he's quite venomous when he wants to be)
