6: People That Write In Complaints




Who on earth would ever want to shatter the wholesome reputation of the lovely Georgina Bailie (pictured)? I ask you, WHO?! Well, those two little urchins Brand and Ross, I tell you. Unless you've been hiding under a rock these past few months, you'll have heard of the confrontation between the silly haired duo and Manuel, sorry, Andrew Sachs. It was more important than the war and the economy crisis and everything.

Yes, how dare they foul the wonderful career of one quarter of the Satanic Sluts? How dare they launch her into the public domain, practically forcing her to undress for modelling shoots in the Daily Star? Who do they think they are to bring such distress into the lives of the 4 people that complained whilst the show was on the air, and then the other 4 million that complained after reading about it in the next days paper?

This could only bring me to draw up comparisons between other such full scale comedic assaults on our right to remain completely oblivious to everything bad that is happening in the world. Brass Eye's Paedogeddon, for instance. South Park belittling Scientology and making the story of Xenu (Xenu was the ruler of a Galactic Confederacy which consisted of 26 stars and 76 planets including Earth, which was then known as "Teegeeack". The planets were overpopulated, each having an average population of 178 billion. The Galactic Confederacy's civilization was comparable to our own, with aliens "walking around in clothes which looked very remarkably like the clothes they wear this very minute" and using cars, trains and boats looking exactly the same as those "circa 1950, 1960" on Earth.

Xenu was about to be deposed from power, so he devised a plot to eliminate the excess population from his dominions. With the assistance of psychiatrists, he summoned billions of his citizens together under the pretense of income tax inspections, then paralyzed them and froze them in a mixture of alcohol and glycol to capture their souls. The kidnapped populace was loaded into spacecraft for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). The appearance of these spacecraft would later be subconsciously expressed in the design of the Douglas DC-8, the only difference being: "the DC8 had fans, propellers on it and the space plane didn't." When they had reached Teegeeack/Earth, the paralyzed citizens were unloaded around the bases of volcanoes across the planet.Hydrogen bombs were then lowered into the volcanoes and detonated simultaneously. Only a few aliens' physical bodies survived.
The now-disembodied victims' souls, which Hubbard called thetans, were blown into the air by the blast. They were captured by Xenu's forces using an "electronic ribbon" ("which also was a type of standing wave") and sucked into "vacuum zones" around the world. The hundreds of billions of captured thetans were taken to a type of cinema, where they were forced to watch a "three-D, super colossal motion picture" for thirty-six days. This implanted what Hubbard termed "various misleading data"' (collectively termed the R6 implant) into the memories of the hapless thetans, "which has to do with God, the Devil, space opera, et cetera". This included all world religions, with Hubbard specifically attributing Roman Catholicism and the image of the Crucifixion to the influence of Xenu. The two "implant stations" cited by Hubbard were said to have been located on Hawaii and Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.
In addition to implanting new beliefs in the thetans, the images deprived them of their sense of personal identity. When the thetans left the projection areas, they started to cluster together in groups of a few thousand, having lost the ability to differentiate between each other. Each cluster of thetans gathered into one of the few remaining bodies that survived the explosion. These became what are known as body thetans, which are said to be still clinging to and adversely affecting everyone except those Scientologists who have performed the necessary steps to remove them.
A government faction known as the Loyal Officers finally overthrew Xenu and his renegades, and locked him away in a mountain, where he was imprisoned forever by a force field powered by an eternal battery. Although the location of Xenu is sometimes said to be the Pyrenees on Earth, this is actually the location Hubbard gave elsewhere for an ancient "Martian report station". Teegeeack/Earth was subsequently abandoned by the Galactic Confederacy and remains a pariah "prison planet" to this day, although it has suffered repeatedly from incursions by alien "Invader Forces" since that time.
) seem positively ludicrous. And what about Frankie Boyle commenting on the Queen being so old that her vagina is haunted? Do these comedians have no shame?



Yes, when looking at the statistics for the complaints made over the Ross 'n' Brand scandal, one thing was made completely clear.

People have way too much time on their hands.

One thing i've always maintained is that people LIKE to be offended, and go looking for it.

I have too much time on my hands but not that much time i'm afraid.

Have you ever seen the Paedogeddon Brass Eye special? Seriously, it's one of the funniest things I've witnessed, just because whilst watching it I was thinking of all the old people that were petitioning against it right at that moment.

And here's a little anecdote - my nan complained to the 24 hour house makeover program hosted by Carol Smiley, arguing with them that they possibly couldn't makeover a house in 24 hours. Most useless complaint ever made? Yes.

I've only ever seen bits and pieces of Brass Eye sadly and i should really change that.

You mentioned South Park though and anyone who gets riled up by that needs a wake up call. Didn't Gregory Isaacs leave the show because of that Scientology episode? Sad really.

Probably a spray tan. Her far leg is tanned but only on the outside. That's why you don't stand with your legs together in a tanning booth kids. And yeah, she's not well endowed and yeah her sense of fashion introduces new levels of tedium. But I would pound her like the fist of an angry God given half the chance.

7: Braving The Ice...



...in winklepickers.



For some unholy reason I disposed of every trainer/plimsoll like item i ever owned. anything that was not on the 'shoe' side of the footwear spectrum no longer belongs in my wardrobe. When I'm embracing the nightlife, I look like the belle of the ball with my expensive collection of leather winklepickers. However, now that england seems to be covered in a permanent sheet of ice, I regret making such a ridiculous fashion decision and instead want to root out my old battered gola trainers that would get me bullied in P.E. lessons. I find myself making outrageously conservative steps on my 30 minute trip to college, looking like I have **** myself by raising my legs in the air like an ostrich. So far, I have been late to college everyday for the past 2 weeks because even the kid with the dodgy limp and the mullet overtakes me. I've even heard him snicker whilst doing so.

8: Remembering what is best to forget


such as the time where i got really drunk at a party and got a handjob off a random girl and told her that i loved her during ejaculation.

such as the time where i called my current girlfriend my ex-girlfriends name the very first time that i told her loved her.

such as the time where i tore a hole in the crotch of my trousers at school and spent a day walking around like it.

such as the time where i got really drunk and sent a text message to the girl that i liked containing just the words 'your hair smells lovely'. when i woke up the next day, i felt a surge of relief knowing that the girl didn't have my number. however, checking the outbox in my phone, i found out that i had included my name and a winking face at the bottom of the text. she never replied.

such as the time where i had a house party and rode my bin like a horse

such as the time TWO WEEKS AGO, where in an attempt to impress my girlfriends attractive friends, i felt it appropriate to try and start a fight on every male in the club. instead, they all left me in there alone. including my girlfriend.

such as the time where i farted in geography and couldnt stop laughing about it so i was sent out the classroom.

such as the time where i tried to swagger past my girlfriends ex-boyfriend, thinking it was a gracious attempt at me showing him how much cooler i was, but then falling over onto my arse.
