The twin-thumbed fist

This post is dedicated to the true Doctor of Journalism- Hunter S. Thompson.

Back in 1988, the BBC got together with crazed artist Ralph Steadman and hunted down the good Doctor for a feuture on 'Omnibus'.
The result was guns at dawn, political debate and cabin fever and more.

I reckon this post is heavy enough for starters. Expect more soon...

I, Robot

If man could flip himself inside out and see what goes on inside, he would die.

A robot wouldn't.

Technology is a medium so embedded within our day to day lives, that without it we'd be fucked quite literally. But when you see what machines are capable of and the weird stuff humanoids can create with a mouse, a monitor and a keyboard, and the Big Mac becomes something rather savage.

Are you scared of technology? Don't be. Just unplug the machine instead.

It's a hype ting

Whilst most MCs are beefing like mad cows in order to get a rep, at least UK Grime can rely on Jammer for a bit of light relief.

Just don't try and copy the dreadhead's steez, oresle you might get bitch slapped.

Today's Arabic proverb goes out to all you haters:

Rememeber when you were born,
everyone was happy whilst you cried your eyes out.
Make sure that when you die, everyone is crying whilst you feel happy.

Mispelt yoof

The revolution will not be televised.

Does that apply anymore? I mean, everything is televised nowadays: War, courts of law, births, sickness, famine, debauchery...
I guess the missing element is the revolution. Kids couldn't care less as long as the MP3's are free and the drugs are cheap.

Here are two examples of Mispelt yoof:
Kids must be bored if they feel they need to do this.
Whilst this guy has a hard enough time being the only Black kid in the village, let alone the local bakery being 8 clicks away.

Damn...

A picture speaks a thousand words

The look on that sweatband wearing bruiser says it all...

What the fucccck???

So, alledgedly this is Lil' Wayne and Birdman- two famous rappers- bro-ing down with a gentle kiss on the lips. That's right- Even the hardest thugs have feelings. Personally I have no problem with this outspoken brotherly love, but seeing how hip hop is so straight edge on the hetero side of things, a little bit of a shitstorm has been stirred thanks to this picture. Ha! Like flexing muscles and camping it up in jewelery and fancy clothes isn't dandy..?

Oh well. At least MC Gremlin can get down with him badself regardless.

In case MC Gremlin made your screen crack, here's the OG version of the track he's flexing to Fish go deep featuring Tracey K.- The cure and the cause.

In every joke there is an element of truth

Still scared of the deep blue sea..?

Let us lighten the tone a little bit with two examples of modern comic genius.

In the blue corner we have Monty Python's Flying Circus.

And in the red corner The Kids in the hall.

Wouldn't it have been great if these guys got together and had one big affair?

Good minds think alike

When Rae and Ghost came together like Voltron and dropped the Purple Tape a.k.a. Only Built for Cuban Linx Niggas, the rap game was changed forever.

A double act like this cannot be rivalled, even if some new faces think they've got the game to step up- They haven't!

If you want to do a live show, take a tip from these guys. Heavy.

Wasteman get left swimming with the fishes.
