    The best worst election campaign video you will ever see

    This is Greg Knight. As far as we know, he is a real person. He is standing in the General Election for the Conservative Party in the East Yorkshire constituency, where he is the standing MP. Real people voted for him. In their droves. For reasons that escape us, he makes his own promotional videos,…

  • Bad e-fit of the day

    Bad e-fit of the day

    In this world of ubiquitous CCTV cameras and top-end graphics package, it’s pleasing to see that our police forces still use MS Paint to draw pictures of criminals. And then they send them out in screen resolution the size of a postage stamp. The results – as ever -are impressive. Essex Echo: Man exposes himself on…

    Here’s your filthy headline of the day

    You know what they say about Facebook: Can’t live with it, can’t live without spanging it over the head with a frying pan and burying it under the patio. One Facebook feature we enjoy is the way it truncates news headlines just as they’re getting interesting. Yup. No wonder he’s looking nervous. Spotter: Bryn

  • Eleven of the best newspaper ad boards

    Eleven of the best newspaper ad boards

    Not ten, ELEVEN! (Because that’s how clickbait works, clickbait fans) Fine, but what about the other 999,990? 2. “You lying little git, you said it was real” 3. This rhyme doesn’t work if you live south of Watford. 4. HULK RAGE 5. I have tried this at my kids’ school. It is not. 6. #NotActuallySexySlang…

  • Please be upstanding for Gay Times

    Please be upstanding for Gay Times

    Dodgy headlines? We love a dodgy headline. And as dodgy headlines go, this is one of them. Gay Times: Will Young. Porn. Etc. But really, everybody’s at it. Even the BBC. It’s funny because it’s pooh.

  • Mr T works at my local chemist shop and here’s the proof

    Mr T works at my local chemist shop and here’s the proof

    FACT: TV’s Mr T has found himself a second career working behind the counter at my local chemist shop. I know this for a fact, because he keeps leaving signs with one of his trademark catchphrases all over the place. It won’t be long before we see “I pity the fool”, “I aint getting into…

  • There’s a MAD man standing in Reading East

    There’s a MAD man standing in Reading East

    This from the Movement for Active Democracy through the door of one of our spotters in the constituency of Reading East. Movement for Active Democracy = MAD, if you haven’t noticed. I think we deserve a closer look at this piece of art, to be honest. I’ve only the one question, and it is the…

    One man and his sweet love for twenty quid’s worth of vinyl and realistic facial expressions

    It looks like you can’t get privacy anywhere these days. All you want to do is to take your inflatable sex doll for a bit of sweet, sweet loving in a quiet north Hampshire hotel, and suddenly the whole world knows. Basingstoke Gazette: ‘Disgusting’ sex doll seen in Hook hotel window Of course the main concern…

  • A salute to Australia’s NT News

    A salute to Australia’s NT News

    We’re going to go out on a limb and say Australia’s NT News is the best local or regional newspaper on the planet. Yeah, shut up Bexley News Shopper, the Hull Daily Mail, Plymouth Herald and the Nottingham Post. These Aussies are legends in their own beer-swilled lunch times. Which other paper would give you…

  • This church group has a weird way of spelling “arise”

    This church group has a weird way of spelling “arise”

    You know how things go. You have a spiffing idea for a blazing church revival meeting and you send your idea off to the graphic designers to have it turned into reality. Two weeks later: “Are you sure people will know it says ‘arise’?” “Yeah, looks great. Go for it.” And they’re not the only…
