Masterful puppetry from behind the scenes plus an unhealthy preoccupation with the crotch from fans who insist its all about the music?
In other words, Justin Bieber’s career to date.

This isn’t quite what I envisioned the ‘handcart’ to look like in the old phrase, but under the circumstances, it’ll do.
‘Tis The Season To Buy Weapons… Tra La La Etc

Are you completely insane? Does this impede your ability to purchase Christmas presents for your family and friends? Why not visit the Scottsdale Gun Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, where you can purchase enough high-power weaponry and ammunition to blow away your town and it’s entire population?
Then you won’t have to buy any presents for anyone.

Yesterday it was reported that UK security forces would be prepared to deploy surface-to-air missiles during the 2012 Olympics in London.
Sounds reasonable. Traffic congestion and public transport issues in the capital are going to be so bad next summer, firing athletes at the relevant stadia is probably the only sure way of getting them there in time.
Marc Jacobs: The Humbert Humbert Of The Fashion World, Apparently
Is this advertisement for designer Marc Jacobs fragrance ‘Oh Lola’ sexually provocative? The British Advertising Standards Authority have banned the ad after complaints from the public stated that it’s imagery turned the model (actress Dakota Fanning) into a sex object.
One day, the rest of the media will figure out what the fashion industry have known and exploited for years. You can’t buy the kind of publicity a ban gives you for free.
Altogether now… DUH!!

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The… Porn
It’s rare that I feel even remotely sorry for the great swathe of male porn addicts who occupy my country. And the news that four of the biggest ISPs in the UK are outlining measures to introduce an ‘opt-in’ scheme to enable users to decide whether their home computers can display pornographic images and sites doesn’t particularly tweak my conscience.
But it did make me laugh to think of their already overstimulated minds exploding in frustration as they try to figure out how to tick the ‘yes’ box without alerting their wives to their needs as a consumer.

Tiger Woods: In Defence Of Weiner Wrangling
In the post 9/11 climate, gestures of dissonance from the unwashed public have been forced to undergo some changes. The chances of being able to get within a few miles of a politician or celebrity at a public event while brandishing anything more dangerous or threatening than a juice box are extremely limited.
Far from being an impediment to freedom of expression though, the prospect of an orange jumpsuit and a go on the waterboard has forced people to modify their protests into a friendlier format.
With fascinating results.
