Vladimir PUTIN Do you want to save the EU or should I?
Barack OBAMA Go ahead, I can\'t afford it
I tried to come up with something special for this last post and, whilst rooting through the Internet Archive, I stumbled across the happy finish I know you’re all crying out for. It’s a whole night’s Halloween programming, from WKBW Radio in Buffalo New York. It was broadcast in 1973 and the station brought together [...]
Happy Halloween everybody. Thought I’d celebrate with another zombie cartoon. Hope you like it. And by the way, before you feel like informing me, yes I am aware of the previous take on vegetarian zombies.
John Shuttleworth is the creation of Graham Fellows. Older readers may remember his first popular character, Jilted John and the pseudo punk hit single Gordon Is A Moron, but today we’re concentrating on John and his 2006 radio series John Shuttleworth’s Open Mind.

Staplerfahrer Klaus – Der erste Arbeitstag (Forklift Driver Klaus – First Day On The Job) parodies the work safety films of the 1980s by turning the accidents into a full blown splatter film. Directed by Stefan Prehn [...]
All this week, leading up to Halloween, I’m going to be posting ghoulish goodies for any fiends out there who get as excited about Halloween as I do. I thought we’d kick things off with a mix tape, grave robbed from all across the internet, and stitched together by my own, shaking, hands. It’s alive [...]
