Sometimes Mass Murder Is News and Sometimes It Isn’t

Apr 19th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Media

Did you see this guy’s video on the news?

He was as mad as a bag of spanners. A fruit. A complete nutcase.
I’ve been listening to the coverage since waking up this morning. Every station has it, on radio and tv. The world is shocked and horrified by the mass killings at [...]



Bill O’Reilly

Apr 13th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Media

I’ve just watched Pat Kenny interviewing Bill O’Reilly, and I have to admit it isn’t really clear to me what just happened. Was that the finest piece of satire ever to appear on Irish television, or the worst example of scum-sucking obsequious arse-licking you’ve seen in your life?
Who’s Bill O’Reilly? Well, Bill [...]

One man and his magnet

Some stories you just couldn’t make up.
Here’s an Iraqi guy going through security at Los Angeles airport when the alarm goes off.
Think about it. An Iraqi! At an airport! In America!!
Christ Almighty, if you were in that situation, wouldn’t you just shit yourself?
They jump on Fadhel al-Maliki. They wrestle him to [...]

Trócaire ad banned

Mar 6th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: television

What about the good old Broadcasting Commission of Ireland, huh? Now there’s a fearless watchdog working to keep Ireland a better place, wouldn’t you think?
I was especially taken by the BCI’s latest spectacular, where they banned an ad from the charity, Trócaire.
You might have seen it. It’s about the appalling treatment of women [...]



Feck off, foreign beggars!

Mar 1st, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Bock rant, popular culture

These days, you can’t walk down the street without some foreign fucker looking for money.
I was in Cruise’s Street during the week and this guy with a deeply impressive moustache was directing maybe five or six women and some children where to sit. Different positions up and down the street. They had [...]



Stock Market Collapse

Mar 1st, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Favourites, Politics

What about all this talk of the stock market? There’s no escaping it, is there?
Turn on your radio, and there will be somebody explaining that the trend in share values is downwards. There’s a surge in the Japanese Yen. Interest rates are going up. America is heading for a recession.
Listen to [...]



Genocide in Bosnia

Feb 27th, 2007 | By Bock | Category: Favourites, Politics, World, war

So Serbia is innocent of genocide, is it?
I see.
It doesn’t matter that for three years Ratko Mladic, the savage puppet of Milosevic, rampaged up and down and across Bosnia-Herzegovina, laying waste wherever he went. Who remembers July 1995? Who remembers Mladic’s advance from one so-called UN safe haven to the next, destroying and [...]



Bipolar Disorder: the Blues Brothers

Do you know the Kaczyński twins?
No, they’re not a band. Jaroslaw KaczyÅ„ski is the Prime Minister of Poland and his identical twin brother Lech KaczyÅ„ski is the President. That’s some achievement, wouldn’t you say?
Here’s Lech:
And here’s Jaroslaw:

Here they are together:

Now, the Kaczyński boys are extreme Catholics of the kind we used to have [...]
