No one in Germany finds vice amusing

"Newsnight presenters like to pretend they're different. But all they are is a bit more pompous."
Paxman speaks.
Newsnight referenced the Idler's 'Cr@p Towns' feature/book last week, which seemed like some sort of watershed moment. I wonder if they've used the word 'chav' yet?
They also had the head of the European Space Agency saying that Titan had most of the ingredients for life, but not oxygen, as though that were an insurmountable obstacle. Given we have stuff like the archaea here, that seems a little pessimistic. (I also note from that link that there is a level of biological classification back before 'kingdom' - 'domain'. I wish they'd taught us the truth in school science classes)

antonyjohnston informs me that there is currently a TV advertising campaign for KY jelly. The mind boggles. As do other things, I suppose.

I love the way that even a tabloid press given to pouncing on celebrity 'love rats' can't muster much outrage at Brad Pitt ditching Jennifer Aniston in favour of Angelina Jolie, because it was so obviously the right choice. Hmmm, a very symmetrical woman with photogenic hair, or one of the sexiest human beings on Earth?

If I was Brad, i wouldn't have married Jennifer Big Chin in the first place, and gone straight for Jolie.

Jesus Barry, ask a stupid question....

As you know, I pretty much am Brad Pitt, and I agree.

Yes but within the first ten answers, we already have a DEVIANT. TBH this is not so much a poll as the prelude to a purge. To paraphrase Abu Musab al Zarqawi, "If You Vote [For Jen] You Die".

Well, quite. I like to see this as an updated Parable of the Prodigal Son in which the foolish sinner repents.

this is what happends when you have no telly and only family guy dvds work...

It was bad enough that the news seemed to be ripping off Chris Morris; now the marketers are inspired by Family Guy. Flee! Flee!

hang on, hang on!
The man made vows, its not my fault he made the wrong first choice.
But if you're going to do something stupid like get married to Aniston, you deserve all the 'repenting at leisure' there is, in my opinion.


I nearly bought you that crap cities book for Christmas, but I thought you might already have it.

Poor old Jenifer "I used to have International Hair!" Aniston.

No, not really. She creeps me out.

Then again, so does Brad Pitt, to a certain part.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

I don't agree that he's the pinnacle of male attractiveness, but I certainly wouldn't fight him off. Whereas she's just...bland.

[jamesward.livejournal.com]

You're pretty much Brad Sh!t I think you mean.

[london-imp.livejournal.com]

At least he is a decent actor. She's just hair and tight tops.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Well, I have a fair bit of it in the magazines, yes.

As regards vows - this is one reason I generally prefer seeing people who also fancy Angelina Jolie. It makes such problems less likely to arise.

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

they obviously weren't playing the 'five people you *could* if you happened to bump into them' rule. such precautions are always necessary.

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

B-b-but he's just a giant CHIN and tight (if any) tops!

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Who would you say IS the pinnacle of male attractiveness then, you big old perve?

(PS I seriously do not know my own answer to this question)

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

ANYWAY! Angelina Jolie is just too, too scary!

[davebushe.livejournal.com]

Fishlips does nothing for me. Aniston only does slightly more.

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

you DID see Troy, right?

[london-imp.livejournal.com]

Yes, and that was just a crap film in general! You can't fault his work in Fight Club.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

My instinctive answer's still Johnny Depp.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

(I still haven't)

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

mmmm yes. much more like it. although that Marquez chap is really rather fetching.

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

But that's the point!

[rentaghost31.livejournal.com]

I see your fight club and raise you a 'Meet Joe Black'
