Best Website Ever?

Kim Jong Il looking at Corn.

Okay, maybe it's not the best website ever. But it made me laugh out loud.

Visit Kim Jong Il Looking at Things now for more timeless propaganda classics such as 'Kim looking at pigs' and 'Kim looking at a radish'. Genius.

Simon Cowell: Shit for Ears (Charlie Brooker)

Furiously disillusioned prose wizard Charlie Brooker, writing on the X-Factor chart backlash:

-

"While I'm happy for Rage Against the Machine to be enjoying the sales and publicity, I can't help thinking we could've organised a slightly better protest ourselves. Chances are the X Factor will try to kick back extra hard next year – perhaps by actually releasing a song with a melody in it – so it's best to start planning the resistance now.

-
The temptation might be to pour a lot of time and effort into creating a catchy anti-X Factor anthem, but the smartest counter-move would be to release something short, cheap and throwaway that isn't even a proper song at all. I propose a track called Simon Cowell: Shit for Ears, which consists of a couple of eight-year-olds droning the phrase "Simon Cowell, shit for ears" four times in a row in the most deliberately tuneless manner possible.

-

It should last only about 15 seconds or so. Quick enough to register; brief enough not to outstay its welcome.
Then we release it online at the lowest price possible. What's the bare minimum you can charge and still be eligible for a chart position? It could be as little as 2p. Because the track is just recorded on to a cheap mic, and released without the assistance of any record label, 100% of the profits go to charity."

I'll be first in the queue (does iTunes have queues?) to buy 'Shit for Ears' if it's released next December...

Comedy...

...but the sad fact is, many of those women claiming that Tiger touched them on their privates will make a lot of money out of this whole affair (pun intended).

Your own Terry Richardson...

This is too funny.

colette in Paris will be selling these soon. Don't expect them to last long.

Passive Aggressive Signs

I love this kind of thing.

-

From passiveaggressivenotes.com, where you'll find more 'painfully polite and hilariously hostile notes from around the world'. They have a book out too, entitled 'Your Mother Doesn't Work Here!', obviously inspired by an angry work-related note.

James Corden to cover New Order?

James Corden is rumoured to be recording a cover of the best football song ever, New Order's 'World In Motion'. This is sacrilege. Only the inclusion of John Barnes to recreate his 'rap' could appease me. But not fully.
-
Plus, Corden's star has well and truly fallen of late. He's about as funny as cancer when he hasn't got Ruth Jones to write jokes for him.

Poet Laureate - Professional lookalike?

Carol Ann Duffy (I've met her, I have), has been appointed as the nations poet, and will pick up £5k a year from Her Majesty as a result. She'd be better off working in Netto.
-
I've only posted this because I saw this picture on the Guardian website, and decided she looks like Ricky Gervais in a wig. Now who's being juvenile...

DOOM - Batty Boyz mp3

The Supervillain, MF DOOM waxes lyrical on the 'gayness' of Batman and assorted super heroes, in his trademark comedic way;

-

"Oh shoot, get a load of that fruit, in thigh high boots, red tighty-whiteys and blue cat suit..."

Taken from THIS, out on Lex Records now.

KanYe - Destroyed by Matt and Trey

Matt Stone and Trey Parker dedicated an episode of South Park to ripping the piss out of KanYe West. They hit the nail on the head, focusing on his ludicrously ego-centric personality.

-

To be fair to Mr West, he took it in the spirit it was intended, acknowledging that South Park had "murdered" him on his blog.

-

Go to 2dopeboyz who are streaming the whole episode.

Eminem - We Made You (Video)

Same old same old from Marshall. Still... it's vaguely comedic.

Bruno - Trailer (Red Band - NSFW!)

-

He's going to wind some yanks up something rotten with this...

Apologies for the Age Restriction. It's worth it though...

Autotune Office

Nice little video poking fun at the chronic overuse of Auto Tune on what feels like EVERY single released in the past 12 months.

Arena Magazine - RIP

What a shame. The original (and best and funniest and smartest and most stylish) men's magazine on the UK market, Arena, will be publishing potentially it's final ever issue on Thursday after 22 years.

-

All we're left with is over-the-top gay fashion mags, tory-boy wankers handbook GQ and those seedy little porno-disguised-as-a-comic-book-for-absolute-fucking-pillocks, FHM, Nuts and Zoo.

-

I'm championing Buck to partially fill the void, although it is heavily fashion driven. Maybe grown men like me should stick to books and the paper?

Adventureland - Red Band Trailer

This looks like Superbad x 10.

I never get tired of this type of film. Maybe it's because I'm such a fucking child.

If Rappers Were Characters from The Wire

I love this article that The Smoking Section put up yesterday... it ticks three boxes for me; The Wire, Hip Hop and humour.

-

One of the highlights for me is: "LL Cool J as Cutty — Old veterans who used to be known for their hard-nosed antics, but have now evolved into harmless old men".

Observe & Report - Trailer (Red Band)

I like the look of this.

A nice mix of comedy and darkness. But mostly comedy...

Wayne & Letterman - Grammy Top 10

I'm not a fan of the young dude at all, but he does score points for the "pause" after the Jonas Brothers comment.
