The Royal Wedding - Hyper Value (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 07:50:56 -0700

The British lavish royal wedding of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton cost British Nationals more than £20 million. It is widely believed that the £20 million security cost of the royal wedding on April 29, 2011 at London's Westminster Abbey would be paid by British Citizens rather than the royal family itself. Despite being in an atrocious economic condition, Britain held the extravagant wedding, for which the UK royal family can certainly afford to pay, since the family reportedly owns billions of pounds. In addition, the declaration of April 29 as a national holiday cost Britain about $9.6 billion. ' Their union will run into further millions when all post-wedding bills have been totted up and will be largely met by public funds. The bulk of this expense has gone on the huge security bill for the occasion. One member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, Scotland Yard's board of governors, warned that budgets were already tight and about to be cut even further.

Stuart MacLennan - The MacLennan Syndrome (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 07:42:22 -0700

Stuart MacLennan was suspended as a Labour member after admitting tweeting offensive comments. Labour initially backed him to remain as a candidate, but later dropped him after opposition calls for him to go. MacLennan said he was sorry and admitted he had been "very stupid". He reportedly described the elderly as "coffin dodgers" on his Twitter page and posted a series of foul-mouthed rants about politicians. He had also labelled the commons speaker John Bercow a "tit", David Cameron a "twat" and Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, "a bastard". Nor was his ire limited to the political world. The Sun reported that Mr MacLennan called the X Factor judge Louis Walsh a "cunt", referred to Jedward as "odious little shits" and wrote: "I fucking hate Paolo Nutini". MacLennan apologised for his "very silly" behaviour and admitted he had let himself down. "Some of the things i twitted before i become a candidate were very, very silly and i can see they are offensive," he said. "I have let myself and my friends down and i am really sorry." Twat.

Osama Bin Laden - Has Bin (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 07:31:59 -0700

The US Government said "we've Killed Bin Laden - but you can't see the body - we've already disposed of it - at sea." And it all took place on an almost worldwide recognised public holiday weekend with most people's attention in other directions. So when everyone returns to normal routine it's 'all over' - you know those satellites that can photograph a car license plate from outer space? Yet they weren't able to track Bin Laden's accomplices for the past 10 years without success in finding one of the world's tallest men, because he didn't stick out enough? - well it doesn't matter - it's all over, happened when you weren't paying attention - the US Navy Seals got him. They could just as easily have released a statement about Bin Laden saying: "At the time of his death he had a broom stick stuck up his arse and his todger stuck inside the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner. As we've already buried him, you'll just had to take our word for it. He was also found wearing a ladies bra and panties - but these were also buried with him, so again you'll just have to take our word for it". If there's no body - you can say anything you like - no one can contradict you. At the time of the sea burial wasn't there someone thinking "Is this a good idea - they will believe us, won't they?" But no, clearly Islamic burial traditions take precedence over US terrorist policy.

Charlie Sheen - Planet Sheen (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 07:11:15 -0700

Sheen publicly insulted his own bosses, causing them to cancel his hit TV show, invited reporters into his house to describe his menage a trois with a porn star and a former nanny, and revealed his past drug use. He seems manic, out of control and to be loving every minute of it. Given sheen's self-confessed appetites for illicit substances, there are some who think the crisis has only one logical end. "He does not seem to care," said pop culture expert and author Richard Laermer. "there is only one way to go when you do what he does and you are in your 40s. Eventually, you die." Not that most of America seems to care. They loved Sheen as the star of the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men, in which he played a charming but womanising dad. The show earned him a staggering $1.2m an episode and made him the highest paid TV star in the US. And now that Sheen has destroyed Two and a Half Men, America only seems to adore him more. Sheen was the subject of late-night comedy skits, internet parody videos and endless water cooler conversations. His talk of having "Tiger blood" and "Winning" became instant internet hits. For decades Sheen's partying lifestyle has been an in-joke in Hollywood, but now he is inviting the media and the world to share in it. But now he's pulled it right back," Laermer said.

BP - RIP (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 04:05:59 -0700

An estimated 1.6million gallons of oil spilt since the BP-operated Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, creating a slick more than 130 miles long and 70 miles wide. BP announced that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill cost the company $1.6billion. The London based company said that included in the $1.6 billion figure were payments of $62 million that have been paid out to 51,000 claims. With several years (or decades, even) of cleanup ahead, the $1.6 billion is merely an initial cost figure. Credit Suisse actually estimated the total bill at $37 billion. Polly Higgins, a campaigning environmental lawyer, says in the end fines were 'hopeless' at deterring companies from taking potentially devastating risks, particularly large multinationals like BP whose profits exceed the GDP of a small country. "These companies already factor in the legal fine costs - it's and extrernality that in the end the person buying their final product pays a bit extra to cover'.

Ashley Cole - Trigger Happy (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 03:39:05 -0700

Ashley Cole was rapped by his bosses at Chelsea after he shot a work placement student with an air rifle. The England international accidentally shot 21-year-old Tom Cowan from just 5ft away as he 'larked about' with a high powered .22 rifle at the club's training ground. A club statement read: 'We have fully investigated the incident and we are taking appropriate action. We will not be commenting further as it is an internal matter'. 'It's truly inconceivable that a Premier League footballer could bring a gun to the training ground,' a newspaper source said. "Ashley pulled the rifle from a box and started larking about with it in the changing room. Cole didn't know the gun was loaded but it's a disgrace. His behaviour beggars belief.' Cole was reprimanded by his bosses at Chelsea and had to apologise to Tom. But Tom's father Ronald, was furious and demanded to know what action would be taken against the England player.

Petrol Prices - The Oil Hool (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 03:28:07 -0700

The AA estimated that in total, motorists are spending almost £17m more a day on petrol than this time two years ago. Petrol Prices have hit an average all time-high of 138p per litre and there were predictions they could go even higher this summer to as much as 155p - and fuel duty could become an electoral issue. The new high, which eclipses the previous peak of 119.7p in July 2008, comes just days after a fuel duty rise of 1p a litre. RAC motoring strategist Adrian Tink said: "This is a dark day for motorists. Petrol prices have been rising steadily over the past year and have reached the inevitable record high. This is only the average. In some areas, motorists will be paying over £6 a gallon (140p a litre)." The government - which has clashed with the fuel lobby over the years, most notably in 2000's blockades by lorry drivers - will be closely monitoring reaction to the higher average prices. Tink believes that petrol prices, particularly fuel duty which makes up about half the cost, could now become a major issue in the general election. He said: This is a key issue for Britain's 32 million motirists who are watching their bank accounts drained every time they fill up."

Burqa Ban - Luck be a Lady Tonight (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 02:58:33 -0700

France's ban on Islamic face veils was hotly debated in the media two summers ago and it eventually was passed in October 2010. Women are allowed to wear the face veil, called a burka or niqab, in their homes, hotel rooms or mosques. they can even wear one in their car - as long as they aren't driving. But those who violate the law will be fined up to 150 euros or take lessons on French citizenship. Steeper fines apply to someone who forces an adult woman to wear a face veil - 30,000 euros - while forcing a minor to cover their face has fines up to 60,000 euros and two years in prison. The ban affected only a tiny minority of Muslims as they believe it is another religious hatred. The bill is worded in the hope of avoiding legal minefields. It is titled 'forbidding the Dissimulation of the Face in the Public Space', making to mention of 'woman' or 'evil'.

BNP - I have a Dream (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 02:50:03 -0700

BNP leader Nick Griffin was convicted of distributing material likely to incite racial hatred, for which he received a suspended prison sentence in 1998. In 2005, he was acquitted of separate charges of inciting racial hatred. He has been criticised for many of his comments on political, social, ethical and religious matters, though since becoming leader of the BNP he has sought to distance himself from some of his previous-held positions, which include Holocaust denial. In recent years, where Griffin has been invited to participate in public debates or political discussions, the events have been proven controversial, and have often resulted in protests and cancellations. In the 2010 general election he failed to become a member of Parliament polling 6,620 votes in Barking (mad), finishing in third place. Subsequently, on 23 May 2010, Griffin announced that by 2013 he would stand down as leader, to focus on his European Parliament election campaign. Let's hope he does.

Colonel Gaddafi - 'The House always Wins' (For Sale)

HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle (danhughesdesign) — Wed, 02 May 2012 02:34:07 -0700

With his hated regime crumbling around him, spineless Colonel Muammar Gaddafi finally sneaked off - but not before one last order: 'Send in the bombers'. As thousands demonstrated in Tripoli, there were claims he had boarded a private jet and fled to Venezuela. But before he vanished, the vengeful dictator made one last terrifying bid to cling on to his 41-year rule and punish these infidel protesters who had toppled him. He ordered his air force to bomb unarmed civilians with warplanes and gunships. After losing control of huge swathes of the country, Gaddafi also unleashed an army of foreign mercenaries - paid up to £20,000 a head - to gun down protesters. He came out of hiding to make a bizarre statement, broadcast on state TV. Clutching a large brolly, he clambered out of a battered truck and said: 'i am in Tripoli and not Venezuela. So don't believe these dogs and these television channels.' Human rights groups said hundreds of people have died since violence first erupted in Libya. With journalists expelled from the country it was left to horrified locals to describe the appalling attacks. 'What we are witnessing today is unimaginable.' So good job that he's dead now!
