There are a couple of things bugging me at the moment. First thing is that I am buying the Daily Mail. Yeh…I know it’s the paper of the worried well, but they’re giving away free DVDs of British Classics dramas. And I really loved “The Way We Live Now” when it originally aired around 4 years ago.

The second thing that’s bugging me is that I am ACTUALLY READING THE RAG!? Why I do not know. Saturday’s was a prime example: every page had something I disagreed with from commenting on Angelina Jolie’s shiny face (c’mon! she’s got like 23 kids and a grumpy Brad Pitt. Let her be shiny!) to the constant stream of horrible tag lines. But then there was Monday’s edition and an article on our PM Gordon Brown wanting to enlist the aid of Optimus Prime to help with the economic downturn.

I couldn’t believe it. They went on to say how he segued into the topic after talking about Christmas and he made a quip about it. Nothing more than that…although he should have known better. But then trust the luddites in the Mail to write this up as a full article.

They go on to describe the characteristics of the Autobot leader as “the greatest in a long line of Autobot leaders, Optimus Prime is a beacon of hope to those who suffer under the tyranny of Megatron”. And they don’t even say who Megatron is. WHO IS HE? Mail readers don’t sodding know! I KNOW! THEY DON’T! Who? David Flaming Cameron???! I mean they’re quoting TOY PACKAGING FOR *&%$’s SAKE!!

Someone ought to shoot the whole office of the Daily Mail with some kind of laxative gun for penance. This isn’t journalism – it’s a joke written by idiots, for idiots!

If you must read it, it’s here.
