Making it Easier for Guardian Readers to Look Good

By Effendi | Published: June 5, 2010
So funny and so true, it hurts. ISRAEL’S attack on a Palestinian aid ship will make it easier for Guardian readers to sound as if they know what they are talking about, it was claimed last night. Experts warned Tel Aviv that every time it launches a seemingly unprovoked or disproportionate attack it allows at least 10,000 [...]

religious idiots round up: vengeful volcanoes

By bananabrain | Published: May 12, 2010
of course, nobody should be surprised that when a natural disaster occurs, the usual suspects jump on the bandwagon to explain why it proves their wacky theologies and that G!D Is Having a good old Smite at people of whom they disapprove or, alternatively, that it’s all part of the dastardly plans of the illuminati [...]

religious idiots round-up

By bananabrain | Published: April 21, 2010
  a woman causing an earthquake yesterday by blatantly showing her elbows and knees well, i expect most of us have probably heard by now that, according to the not-at-all-bonkers iranian regime, that immodestly dressed women cause earthquakes. i expect the haitians are buying their chadors as we speak. in the interests of balance, i thought it [...]

would it kill me to go along with dawkins and hitchens for once?

By bananabrain | Published: April 12, 2010
as you have probably heard, the hierarchy of the catholic church is coping with plenty of more-than-usually-unpleasant scandal involving the usual suspects: priests, paedophiles, children, cover-ups, pay-offs, not-quite-apologies, denials, denouncings and defrockings which have, for the first time i can remember, started to take on a somewhat apocalyptic tone, that’s apocalyptic in terms of the [...]

how to complain before you see the programme!

By bananabrain | Published: March 2, 2010
now, i haven’t seen the “dispatches” programme yet, it’s on my sky+ box waiting to be viewed. however, i was quite amused to be warned by one naeem darr, who i understand is some sort of spokesman for our old friends the muslim safety forum, to have my complaint ready. helpfully, he then went on [...]

Sunny falls off his brown high horse, again

By Faisal | Published: February 19, 2010
Here’s another blog gem from the irrepressible Sunny “Browner Than Thou” Hundal. It’s yet more proof, if such were needed, which shows how Hundal only looks at everything through a white/brown lens. In this case, Hundal suggests that Amnesty’s campaign for the IRA in the 70s happened without outcry because the IRA were white. He introduces [...]

“Because she’s got a beard”

By Effendi | Published: February 5, 2010
The trailer from ‘Four Lions’, Chris Morris’ jihadi satire. By turns Ealing comedy, tragedy, thriller, buddy movie and satire, Four Lions isn’t well served by the tonal shifts, but is always watchable for the performances of Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Arsher Ali, Nigel Lindsay and Adeel Akhtar as the jihadis. Their internecine warfare brings the biggest [...]

ray hanania on the stupidity of pro-hamas leftie activists

By bananabrain | Published: January 14, 2010
well, no surprises here – ray hanania, writing in the jerusalem post, finds plenty to criticise about the sort of activist that is perpetuating the sad situation in the gaza strip, in the now-established tradition of leftie imbeciles sucking up to clerical fascists as an act of anti-imperialist egotism. and, of course there’s none more egotistical [...]

a modest proposal for wootton bassett: islamists love underpants!

By bananabrain | Published: January 4, 2010
although the mainstream media has already picked up the story, we’re sure that the good folk of wootton bassett would nonetheless appreciate a message of support. it appears that they are the latest stop on the publicity circuit for everyone’s favourite islamist nutjobs, the al-muhajigoon squad. predictably, the edl have vowed to picket the mosques [...]
