This one for Liffey Valley Shopping Centre. A pathetically cheap ad that does a great job in highlighting the laughable state of shopping in Ireland.
Cafés, restaurants and Dunnes Stores. The utter tedium of the visuals emphasised by dreary airheads twirling their shopping around like mentalists.
To finish, the most nauseating jingle I’ve ever heard, sang by some bland D4 airhead.
These rebellious parents decided to dress their child in a colourful summer dress for her Holy Communion. Of course the REAL rebels put their daughter in a non-denominational school where she can spend her valuable time learning useful things, not parading around in a glorified fairy dance behind Father Fuckface.
Interesting piece from Prime Time about the banking crisis:
I don’t know which is more pathetic, the story itself, or the fact that news organisations now have Twitter correspondents. It is Sky News though.
Bid To Give Jackson The Nobel Peace Prize
Ruth Barnett, Twitter correspondent
Michael Jackson fans have launched a campaign calling for the superstar to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The late star’s fans have flocked to sign online petitions supporting the move.
They say he should be honoured for his charity work and “lifelong dedication to the well being of humanity”.
The big group of stupid sheep flocked to sign online petitions, in between drinking their own tears and talking to Jesus.
However, nominations for the peace prize are not made according to public demand.
Former winners of the prize include Nelson Mandela, Al Gore and Josef Fritzl.
If Al Gore can get it, then why not Michael? He touched a lot of kids all over the world. He reached out his hand and touched them and made them come together, etc., etc.
People are worshipping a tree stump in Limerick. They think it contains the Virgin Mary and are protecting it it.
Retards.

Did you hear about the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Programmes? When I read that name in a paper the other day I didn’t know what it was referring to, but then realised it’s the actual name of the government appointed cost-cutting board nicknamed ‘An Bórd Snip Nua,’ by everyone it seems. The traditional ‘humorous’ term for Government cost-cutting committees is An Bórd Snip, and this one is a new one, hence ‘An Bórd Snip Nua’. God blasht it my sides are splitting. I expect yours are too. All media outlets are going with this hilarious name. Even the supposedly high-brow newspapers throw it out every day, afraid to look like the old fart at a teen disco. Well, it’s annoying. Damn kids today with their language…
The SGoPSNaEP or backwards, PEANSPOGS (that’s way better than Bórd Snip Nua) is charged with the task of pulling the country from the river of faeces it’s currently languishing in and putting it back into the bigtime list somewhere around the level of Liechtenstein or Djibouti. Then we can get the heads down and move onto the next boom, all becoming rich again for about five years while creating nothing and then losing the lot and blowing our brains out. It’s the Irish way.
The right to life freaks are going to be out in force again tomorrow in Dublin. Youth Defence, Mother and Child Campaign and others are organising a pro-life rally tomorrow, Saturday July 4th, and if you’re out and about you can expect to be annoyed by condescending, smarmy youngsters in yellow shirts with mass-produced leaflets full of misinformation and biblical quotes. My advice is to fill yourself some piss balloons and arrive early.
Now that the election guff is dying down, we can all sleep easier in our beds for a little while; I wouldn’t be too sure that there won’t be another one before too long. This week we can expect the fallout, as all and sundry engage in cynical manoeuvring and point-scoring, the wild beasts making a desperate attempt to climb higher in the food chain.
I didn’t vote by the way, I couldn’t bring myself to support any one careerist over all the others. I’m just sorry I didn’t spoil my vote instead; that seems to be the wisest option.
RTÉ always was the best example of greed and corruption in this country. The poor old friggers are on the brink of bankruptcy apparently, unless they manage to implement drastic pay cuts all round, or else pull around one hundred million euro out of Gerry Ryan’s bottom. What a strange surprise this financial trouble must be for RTÉ. I don’t think they ever suspected that their ‘pay obscene amounts of money to people who don’t deserve it’ model would ever run into trouble. But don’t worry everyone; management have a plan to save the day. The highest earners will take the biggest pay cut, the middle earners will take less of a cut, and so on down to the lowest earners, who won’t pay anything at all. Cathal Goan, the Director General of RTÉ, will be outlining this wonderfully fair solution to RTÉ staff in the near future. This is an Irish solution to an Irish problem. Just like the HSE, the management in RTÉ and another select few earn spectacularly undeserved amounts of money topped up with huge bonuses and expense accounts, while the lowly staff, who keep everything going, earn only what they deserve. When the shit hits the fan however, it’s the management who have to come up with the cost-cutting measures. They then show how fair they are by taking the most from the highest earners, who are earning around five times too much anyway.
