The Taoiseach Brian Cowen made like Mussolini recently after he was stripped naked and hanged. And much like the rotund fascist he didn’t seem to take it too well. Indeed following this report by RTE our old friends at Fianna Fail and their media toadies threw their toys out of the pram, claiming that the [...]
Some goon from England, in 2nd year English (in Ireland), had decided to record himself rapping dreadfully about Trinity, and D4 types in general. Dreadful execution and badly thought out lyrics, subject and flow let down this otherwise sterling effort. As in we like the picture of the GMB you pikied off google. ________________cheers to [...]
I’m sure you’ll all have spotted this on Boing Boing, which you have been instructed to read, and therefore, obviously, do.
Note: This open letter was written back when Marshmellow was a Piranha. As it refers to events relating to Piranha magazine, we’ve left it unedited. Everyone here on the Piranha! Editorial team would like to warmly extend our congratulations Mr Daire Hickey on his brilliantly illuminating article in last weekend’s Irish Mail on Sunday. I [...]
I seem to find right wing loons inordinately funny. Their conspiracy theories are marvelously convoluted and painstakingly explained. In the example below, a man dead pans his theory that the massive memorial being built on the field where the wreckage of Flight 93 landed is in fact a celebration of Islamic terrorism. The music is [...]
Governments the world over like to spin the truth, into lies, in order to push their own agenda forward. Here’s a particularly fun one from the UK. After the cops spunked €5.9 million harrassing a group of long hairs protesting at a Kingsnorth power station, they justified their huge, nearly militery, operation saying that 70 [...]
I spend an inordinate amount of time wondering around the back end of the internet. The places where the darkness lies, where jihadis log on for chats, where the survivalists talk politics and where the BNP threaten and intimidate. I’m probably on some government no fly list because of it. No matter. I’ve recently wondered [...]
Ah, past history. What a magnificent source of humor. Here’s a video made in the past, with scant regard for it’s absurdity today. Look at how the stupid news people talk in foolish ignorance of all the things every one now knows not to be true. Also, in the past we had silly baggy clothes, [...]
Music videos are often highly pretentious documents of the megalomaniacal self-involvement of the musicians involved. There are many examples where this self-involvement is appropriate, where the video’s introspection points to something larger held common in us all. Often, however, they’re just silly. Empire of the Sun are tipped to be big next year. The song [...]
