I wish someone would do something about how fat I am!

dodger @ 8:57 am

Another Classic from the onion

Let me level with you. I’m fat. Not heavyset, but F-A-T, fat. I’m not saying this because I’m proud. It takes a lot of courage to admit it, but I have a problem. Strangers gape in amazement. Children taunt me behind my back. People have trouble looking at me when I eat, and for good reason: I’m huge. But gosh, I don’t like being this way. I hate it as much as you do—maybe more. What I want to know is, how come no one is doing anything about it?

For God’s sake, don’t just stand there doing nothing.

San Andreas Sex up da bitches Mod

dodger @ 9:30 am

Let’s set the scene. It’s a wet and cold day as per usual in the Scotland HQ of Rockstar North. the guys are busy developing the San Andreas port for PC but everyone is somewhat bored, and then comes an idea! “Why don’t we build an interactive sex mini-game for a laugh guys!”, “HELL YEAH!”.

Well it would seem the developers hopes of keeping the mini-game in the release were smashed by censorship but PatrickW has managed to unlock the taboo mini-game for all to see!

The Mod is available for download for those who always wondered what he was doin when the car was a rockin.. Link

Media Giants

gordy @ 5:21 pm

Take a quick look and see just who owns what in the media world. With mergers etc(e.g AolTimeWarner) and moguls Rupert Murdoch, its interesting to note that really only about 5 companies own a huge majority of the worlds media, i’m gonna wear a tin-foil helmet to stop them taking over my mind

FIFA Support Ireland

jp @ 6:13 pm

Fifa have urged Ireland to appeal the red card that Andy O’Brien got in the recent world cup qualifying game against Israel.

Greek referee Kyros Vassaras lost control of the game during the second period, handing out an additional seven yellow cards - including six to Israeli players - during a half that lasted over 52 minutes as there were seven added for injury time.

That was due to the play-acting of goalkeeper Dudu Awat, who ultimately succeeded in getting O’Brien dismissed, and he now faces an immediate suspension for the clash against the Faroes in Torshavn.

That second half was a joke regarding the way in which the ref handled it but hopefully FIFA will take away the ban on O’Brien. Full Report on RTE. However with the FAI having to get the appeal together they will probably bollix it up so I won’t be holding my breath.

EDIT - NEWS JUST IN

Fifa has rejected the Republic of Ireland’s appeal against Andy O’Brien’s red card in Saturday’s World Cup game against Israel in Dublin.

Newcastle United defender O’Brien was red-carded for reacting to a punch from Israel keeper Dudu Awat.

The Irish had hoped to get O’Brien cleared so he could play in Wednesday’s Group Four game against the Faroe Islands in Torshavn.

But Fifa ruled on Sunday afternoon that the dismissal would stand.

Monkey Steal Peach Now

ninja monkey

Interesting Ninja move.

“Followers of the Iron Hand styles immediately clench their fists tightly, with a crushing grip, and jerk the hand sharply back to the near hip, effectively ripping away the genitals. Massive blood loss causes death.”

ouch

via and also here. Think I’ll get that book could be an interesting read.

Oh good jesus…wait till ye check out this, corporate anthems

There’s a feeling everywhere
Of bigger things in store
Of new horizons coming into view

And we will go ahead, we know
By working side by side

Nazi wants his logo back

gordy @ 1:07 am

but not the logo you would associate with the Nazis, actually he wants back the VW logo, which he says he designed. Aparrently(i know i was unaware) there are huge links between the ol nazis and the vw Beetle…. wierd, Hitler apparently had a major role in starting it all off…

Internet Delusions

gordy @ 12:59 am

Heres a link to a report in the medical journal Psychopathology, its basically saying that delusions caused by illnesses such as schizophrenia are increasingly involving the internet

psychiatry has usually considered the content of delusions as irrelevant, and more often is interested in the form it takes
From the four case-reports its shown that, contrary to the traditional view, the cases are examples where an internet-theme has particular clinical implications. VERY INTERESTING

But as the old saying goes: just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean their not out to get you

I don’t know how many times you were making something in Photoshop and needed some girls with guns to fit the image. I lost count ages ago. For all the rest of you, laugh at us while checking out this mini encyclopedia.
