Pete Doherty is the only real rock star left on planet Earth.

I have never listened to Pete Doherty’s music. I never heard Babyshambles and I ignored the Libertines because they sounded like any number of crappy Euro-rock bands that have tried in vain to sound both emotive and rocking at the same time. I stopped listening to Oasis about five years ago, too, for the same [...]

From the files of Astoundingly Bad Decisions

“High above the mountains, far across the sea
I can hear your voice calling out to me saying, ‘vote for Hillary’”
— Celine Dion, ‘You and I’
In politics, as in any marketing endeavour, knowing your target audience is usually an awfully good first step.
So, Hillary Clinton using a parody of the final Sopranos episode — featuring her, [...]

Lol Of The Rings!

In honour of everyone’s fascination with lolcats and other such creatures (like lolyankees and lolbots), coupled with my desire to pass time at work quickly and at least half-amusingly, DirtyGames (guiltily) presents to you the first installment of …
Lol Of The Rings:

More to come, sometime when I’m equally as bored and easily amused as this [...]

But … but … butt!

If nothing else, it’s worth pointing out that Poland — like many of the jokes about its natives — is a little bit slow.
Not only are they about five years late to realize that the purple Teletubby just might be a little bit … well … y’know … it’s been long enough that the guy [...]

I hate you so much Courtney Love. I really do.

I once paid good money for a Hole album.
‘Live Through This’ on cassette, ordered as part of an introductory Columbia House Record Club deal cost me 1/11th of a cent, and about three years of junk mail.
And I wish to God I could get that money back. And Courtney should give it to me, too, [...]

This is NOT ‘The World I Know’

So … rather than Marilyn Manson, NIN, Slayer and that long list of bands that I named last time because they are bands that always get named when someone goes batshit crazy and kills people … Cho Seung Hui, whose name will live on in infamy exactly the way he wanted when he pulled this [...]

Snoop Dogg is not conducive to the public good.

I am sure that Mr. Dogg is devastated that the welcoming arms of Mother Britain will no longer gather him and his posse into her bountiful bosom.
He has been denied entry to the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, P. Diddy is free to come and go as he please. So Londoners who bought tickets for that double [...]

Barack Obama is magical!

I’m way too busy to give this a fully sarcastic appreciation, but suffice to say I’m seriously considering starting a blog dedicated solely to the phenomenon that is Barack Obama in the Mainstream Press as a Black Presidential Candidate.
So now, not only is Obama an articulate African-American who rails against free speech for pedophiles, forgets [...]

The (Baby) Juice!

I have always tried to refrain from plugging myself into the world of celebrity gossip and rumour-mongering. It’s beneath me. Ignoring celebrity culture is one of the few ways someone addicted to sports can feel better than the rest of the population. So I’m hesitant to enter into this world, for fear I’ll become as [...]

Now’s your chance!

There are witnesses, Frances. Quick! You can do it!
Girl — don’t you know any better? You’re the last hope of carrying on the legacy. Haven’t you seen enough by now to know how your story will end if you continue on this path? How has she brainwashed you? What did she tell you about your [...]
