Milwaukee police officer takes out water squiring clown (video)
AMERICAN TV news presents the clown v cop fight. American TV news is formular-driven eye gum. The telegenic faces – those aquiline noses; that presidential hair; those cleavages; just WOW! – deliver facts on anything with an absurd sense of drama. This following news segment is about a fight between a copper an a clown. In this case the polished newscaster performances (they think they’re auditioning for daytime soap, don’t they?) makes the ridiculousness of the story and its delivery more pronounced. It’s TV gold:

Fancy Dress
Wherever you are, it’s always fun to dress up. Whether you work at a school, supermarket or in an office, it’s easy to organise a fancy dress day! Over the years, millions of people up and down the country have dressed up in crazy outfits in aid of BBC Children in Need and in the record-breaking 2011 Appeal we all went a bit spotty!

Who wants to see Jamie Oliver sucking a dildo?
HAVE you seen Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Minute Meals? It’s a show so irritating that it makes you want to punch the very notion of television into next week. And Jamie, here’s an idea: 1.5 Second Meals where someone just throws a Jaffa Cake in their mouth and gets on with their lives without bogling at lettuce.
Anyway, when Jamie isn’t larging it up over some prawns on a massive wooden board, he’s pretending to be Food Bono, saving our wickle children from a fate worse than delicious hamburgers.
