This man is a hero
by Steve on May.26, 2009, under Ireland, News, Politics, Television
As seen on last night’s Questions and Answers. This is the most moving thing I’ve ever seen on television. Please repost this video on your own blog or whatever to bring as much attention as possible to it, and thus as much shame as possible on the government and the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland. Maybe then they might admit some responsibility and treat the victims properly.

by Steve on May.05, 2009, under Television
I started watching Mad Men for the first time last weekend. In less than a week I burned through the entire first season. Great stuff. I love the 1960’s setting. Despite not even being born then, they seem to have it nailed.
Also, Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan Holloway in the show is HOT.

Moonwalking Manakin bird
by Steve on Jul.03, 2008, under Humour, Television
I saw this in an episode of QI and laughed my ass off at it, so I went and searched YouTube for the clip…
LOL.
(yes it is manakin, not mannequin)

The Naked Gun, GTA4 Style
by Steve on Jun.09, 2008, under Games, Humour, Internet, Movies, Television
I saw this on boards.ie’s Grand Theft Auto forum last night and thought it was excellent. Someone has gone and remade the famous intro sequence from The Naked Gun in GTA4
Here is the original intro from the film:
While we’re at it, here’s the Family Guy version:
Crap quality but its the only one on Youtube. It gets extra points for the Doom reference
Every South Park episode ever. Free.
by Steve on Mar.30, 2008, under Television
Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the guys behind South Park and Team America have made every episode of South Park available for free from their website, southparkstudios.com.
They’re high quality streams, and they’re right up to date too. You can watch the episode that aired on US TV on Wednesday night right here. There is apparently some contractual restriction with Comedy Central that means new episodes will only be available on the site initially for 7 days, but then after 30 days they will be permanently available.
I love you Matt and Trey

Ashes to Ashes
by Steve on Feb.09, 2008, under Television
The first episode of Ashes to Ashes was screened on BBC1 on Thursday night and it was excellent, as expected. If you’re not familiar with it, Ashes to Ashes is essentially a sequel series to the brilliant Life on Mars, which finished its two-series run last year. You could consider it to be the continued adventures of DCI Gene Hunt, in 1981
. He has moved from Manchester to London and has traded his Ford Cortina for an Audi Quattro.
There was what looked like a Miami Vice tribute going on in there too:

This is well worth watching.
Dexter
by Steve on May.23, 2007, under Television
I just saw the first episode of this new US show, Dexter, and I like it a lot. Think of it as an evil CSI Miami, without the bling bling. Of course, when I say “new” I mean “new here”. The first season has already finished its run in the US, and shooting of the second started this week. FX are showing it in the UK and Ireland on Sky Digital starting in July.
Highly recommended viewing
Michael Moore vs Fred Phelps
by Steve on Apr.19, 2007, under Scum, Television
This clip dates from around 1999. It features Michael Moore and a pink bus full of homosexuals called the Sodomobile ![]()
He’s using the bus to tour around states in the US in which (at least in 1999) homosexuality is illegal. They encounter the notorious Pastor Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist “Church”. If you haven’t heard of these assholes, I suggest you find and watch the Louis Theroux documentary on it that screened on BBC2 recently. Its called “The Most Hated Family in America”.
Here’s a quick synopsis of them: They travel around America, picketing funerals of gay people, soldiers and pretty much anyone else they believe to be a “fag enabler”. They’re some sick twisted fucks. I’m not going to link to their (awful) website.
Old Phelpsy is a lot younger looking in that clip than he is in Louis Theroux’s much more recent programme. I wonder how they’d like it if the sodomobile showed up for his funeral?
