Friday Comedy Double
Some very jovial and public-spirited person has uploaded a whole bunch of clips from the all-black early-nineties comedy sketch show The Real McCoy, which featured many of the best comedians in Britain, some of whom, like Meera Syal and her fellow Goodness Gracious Me and Kumars star Sanjeev Bhaskar, have gone on to have major careers not only as actors and comedians but as novelists and playwrights.
You haven’t lived till you’ve heard Cyberman patois – here’s Dr Who dubbed for Jamaica:
And at last, more of Gina Yashere online: this is part of her recent sellout concert at the Hackney Empire. USAnians may recognise Gina Yashere from appearances on the BBC’s Mock The Week. Here she takes on the topic of suicide bombers and race – uncomfortable viewing, but wryly funny.

In Which My Compatriots Restore My Faith In Human Nature
…with these videos made by Somerfield (for USanians, equivalent more or less to Kroger) employees while the boss wasn’t looking. There’s spoof ads ( see below), extreme floor cleaner surfing and daredevil toilet-roll jumps- something for all the family – and none of it sanctioned by the health and safety bods.
I once worked briefly for Somerfield in the deli when I was a student for a princely 3.60 an hour. Iin fact most of their staff are students (and guerilla filmakers too by the looks of it). It was one of the most dismal workplaces ever.
Well done these guys for cheering it up.
I really hope they don’t get fired. It would be a PR disaster for Somerfield and their products are a PR disaster enough already. In the hierarchy of UK food retailers it’s not ranked very high: even our supermarkets adhere to the class system. The list goes (and this is IMSHO) Marks and Sparks, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsburys. Morrisons. Co-op, Spar, Asda, Aldi and Lidl, in descending order. Maybe this’ll bump Somerfield up the list, if they show a sense of humour about it. I’m not optimistic though.

What a catty little bitch of a genocidal wingnut welfare queen Michelle Malkin is. I wouldn’t normally take any notice of her, being as she is on the lunatic fringe of wingnuttia, except that she’s gratuitously attacked Amanda Marcotte.
Her nasty little video hit-piece is typical Malkin high-school bullying nastiness at it’s most infantile and childish. It sucks ass as a video too.
I wasn’t madly keen on Amanda working for Edwards, and said so at the time, and I also pointed out that when you join the political establishment you take what you get.
But this isn’t political – oh no, this is personal.
Envious much, Michelle? No Republican presidential candidate asked you to be their pet blogger? Ohhh, poor darling, you’ve tried everything including making your ‘O’ face on national TV, and still they don’t want you. What’s it going to take, pulling a train with the uncloseted members of the RNC?
And don’t anyone give me that reasonable, liberal ‘we’re all sisters under the skin’ crap. Fuck sisterhood. It doesn’t count for genocidal rightwing harpies.
If Malkin thinks the entire liberal blogosphere is just going to sit back and see one of its own abused in this way by such an unworthy heifer of wingnut-paid pundit she can think again, if her pretty little ventriloquist’s dummy airhead is capable of that without Jesse’s hand up her back.
If Ms. Malkin thinks liberal women are uncivil… oy, we haven’t even started yet. Ad feminam? You betcha.
Malkin the alleged ‘journalist’ may be on tv and may well be making a nice living but let’s face it, tv quality has declined markedly in recent years and she’s on Fox, which says it all. It barely qualifies for the name ‘news’. Any reasonably pretty woman (non-white for preference, that way they can point to their token ethnic to deny accusations of racism) who can rant rightwing talking points to camera will do for Fox. What else would explain the appearance of this ranting harpy on our screens?
Michelle Malkin is a no-talent, ethically-challenged, liar and Auntie Thomasina of an anchor baby who can’t write and who trades on her looks and the sexual fantasies of her wingnut admirers to make money from the rightwing crap her bad-tempered and reportedly violent husband can’t get published unless it has a exotic Asian babe fronting it. Eliminationist poison sounds so much nicer when there’a purty lil’ mouth spewing it.
But that’s right-wing women all over: small minded, petty jealous cows who’d tread on anyone in their discounted-wholesale Jimmy Choo knockoffs if they thought it’d get them more attention from the guys and/or push their ‘careers’. (And there was I thinking they should be at home ministering to their husbands needs and popping out sprogs by the dozen, like they want the rest of us to. Silly me.)
I predict Ms. Malkin, wannabe Bitch-Queen of All Wingnuttia, is going to wish she hadn’t made that video very soon. A lot of people like Amanda, but many more most assuredly loathe Michelle.
Pass the popcorn.
