Radio(head), Radio(head)

Hail to the ThiefIn accordance with the raincoaster blog’s policy of culture jamming, petard-hoisting those who don’t stand by their own words, and doing whatever the hell we want, we are happy to repost here Thom Yorke’s anti-Tony Blair rant, which was posted on Radiohead’s blog and almost immediately taken down.

We are all about being on the record here. So, for the record, we stole this report from Sploid!

“I’ve had enough of this,” the songwriter wrote on Radiohead‘s blog. “Our government’s sitting on the fence with the U.S. while World War 3 appears to be breaking out in Lebanon and Northern Israel. We must throw Tony Blair out of office NOW. He does not represent the views of British people. He does not represent the views of his foreign office and officials.”

Yorke added that Blair “cares far too much about his relationship with Bush and Murdoch.”

“This man is not fit to be our prime minister,” Yorke concluded. “It’s a nice sunny day. Come on, let’s do it. You know it makes sense. A vote of no confidence. Or something. Anything.”

But the call to action mysteriously vanished from Radiohead.com on Thursday. Nobody in the band will explain what happened to the message, so Radiohead fans and the music press are left to wonder if certain sinister forces are at work.

Thom Yorke is anybody listening???

The T-Factor: the thc factor

I don’t know what they’re smoking across the pond, but it’s Take the damn picture!gotta be pretty strong. From Norway to Zakynthos, tourists are endangering hundreds of human lives.

Where is the outrage???

An airline issued a “zero tolerance” warning today after a spate of bad behaviour by sun-seeking Britons.

Thomas Cook Airlines staff have already had to deal with passengers turning up drunk for check-in, making jokes about bombs in luggage, refusing to sit for take-off and smoking in toilets.

In the most serious incident, a passenger opened the door of a Boeing 757 as it pulled up at Zakynthos Airport last Thursday.

Take THAT, tourist scum!

A bus carrying 40 elderly French tourists toppled into a ditch by a motorway in central Norway on Tuesday after passengers demanded the driver get closer to a moose grazing by the roadside so they could take snapshots, police said.

The injured woman was examined at the local hospital and the motorway was briefly shut down. The moose, which was unharmed, was seen skipping away into the forest, Kaapvik added.

I’ll tell you exactly where the outrage is: it’s at home watching reruns, and it’s not getting up off the sofa for this, for lo, the lives endangered were in both cases only those of other tourists.

You say “tragic accident,” I say “cull.”

Where's Waldo?

Boris sez unicorns are rad

Defamer agrees. And so does this guy, with a little help from Boris Vallejo.

Hey, is that Posh Spice?

Now this is what I’m talking about. Nobody does amazon women and mythical creatures like Boris Vallejo. Look at the teeth, the fire, the pure unbridled passion. Why oh why does the Institute of Art in Chicago continue to ignore such masterpieces as this?

Does such a woman such as this truly exist? I recently took a voyage to the Amazon to find one of these scantily clad vixens, but ran out of luck. This photo here represent to me the true behavior of the unicorn. He’s mean, tempermental, and his nostrils breath fire. However, Soccer Moms such as the Unicorn Lady seem to push the agenda that all unicorns prefer sitting on grassy hiltops rather than warfare. I strongly dissagree. But, since I am a glutton for the one horned beast, I cannot say I do not enjoy the Unicorn Lady… we still share the same love. Please check out her site and share in her passion. Did you know the Unicorn Lady used to be a Principal’s secretary for a public school in San Diego?

I can see the unicorn screensaver on her computer right now, as the high school boys snicker at her as they pass by…

Note: unicorns are not cool enough to deserve the Squid Tag, Borises notwithstanding.

in case of emergency, break space/time continuum

We’re the last of the superheros. When the world is really screwed up, who do they count on to settle things down?

Canadians.

We’ll be getting the call from Beirut any day now.

Let no nation claim a monopoly on jingoistic superheroism. Right, Robin?
