Whilst the news repoerter is delivering a solemn and sober news report about the collapse of Lehman Brothers, two men behind him are kissing and fondling each other.
After the cut-back to the studio, the anchor tries to rescue the situation, describing them as “trying to make light of a bad situation, pretending to console each other.”
I’m talking, of course, about the booming industry of surgical penis ‘enlargement’, the nearest male equivalent to labiaplasty. We’ve all had versions of those relentless spam emails, offering in poor English to furnish us with a magnificent schlong for the price of a university education.
Yes, it’s fucking political. Male sexual neurosis is massively damaging, to feminism, to society, and to men themselves. This is not male apologism, or backsliding, it’s one feminist’s request for more discussion of a damaging socio-sexual taboo, in the context of a blog post in which I get to shout ‘COCK!’ a lot.
This is a massively important subject. And it’s a brilliant excuse for me to post the Penis Song.
The Jeremy Clarkson video has caused quite a stir. But, seriously! I mean, it’s not “genius“, but it is pretty clever. There is no way it cost very much to make, even it wasn’t made during a “spare half hour”.
There are many examples of far greater amounts of government waste that doesn’t end up with an amusing video. I just don’t get this whole joyless “omg downing street made a pointless video” crap.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is to be remade, without the blessing of its creator, Richard O’Brien.
Remaking a cult classic like this is always risky. Even more so considering the quality of the original. In the end, this remake will either be bloody brilliant or absolutely abysmal.
Whilst we wait to find out, here’s two of the most iconic songs from the film:
"I like the way he handles a broad range of subjects in an engaging and friendly manner. Definitely one of the good guys." - Croydonian
"Right-Wing blogging from a UK student. A fresh perspective on a plethora of events with a healthy interest in shelf-stacking to boot." - Cityunslicker
"One of the more depressing aspects of blogging and the modern world is seeing reams of text on a page. The Thunder Dragon's mixture of politics and fun posts, with good illustrations and quickly made points makes his blog an accessible and fun place to discuss and think about politics...
The Thunderdragon is one of the rising stars of conservative blogging" - Gracchi
"Already an A lister, technical whiz Thunder Dragon shows that not all A listers are stuck up stats groupies who’d sell their grandmothers for more traffic. And he’s on Iain Dale’s list for a reason – he’s simply a fine blogger, scoring highly on the ten point Dale criteria and with his finger always on the political pulse. He's also the technical brains behind Blogpower, along with Ian at Imagined Community." - James Higham
"The ThunderDragon consistently provides an interesting and enjoyable read - always entertaining and often insightful. His writing may even give us a foretaste of our political future. Stick with him. After all, time will cure his youth." - Tom Paine
"Thunder Dragon - Provocative and inventive, especially for this post about how to sort out the USA." - Matt Wardman
