Top 5 Squirrels Ever – No.4

Straight in at number 4 in our awesome-most squirrels of all time chart is this plucky mum – seen here eyeing up a dog who’s got  her wee baby.plucky mum

With her husband nowhere to be seen (typical – off with his mates collecting nuts no doubt) she had to take matters into her own hands.

After some Kung Fu heroics (it looks to use like she’s using the Bruce Lee technique – Jeet Kun Do) she grabbed her little un and they escaped back up the tree for a well earned cuddle.

Now we’re sure that the dog was only having a play and was just loving the little squirrel too hard, he looks pretty sad to see them go, but you can’t mess with a mum when her kids are concerned. Top (squirrel) mumming.

Top 5 Squirrels Ever – No. 5

In the build up to our hard hitting report about grey squirrels, we’re bringing you our top 5 squirrels ever!

In at No. 5 is this young fella. He heard the camera focussing, came to investigate and popped up at just the right time to turn a nice photo of a couple against a stunning backdrop into the awesome-most photo of a couple against a stunning backdrop of all time!

Photo Finish Of The Week

When we were quickly reading the newspapers at Tesco’s today we came across an absolute pearler of a picture on the front cover of The Times.

At first it looks like a poorly photoshopped, heavy handed metaphor for the election race, but on closer inspection there’s a lot more going on than that.

For intsance, from the knee down the Labour runner’s left leg is about 5 times bigger than his right leg. This would make it almost impossible to run in a straight line and explains Labour’s veering towards more right wing policies over the last few years.

The Conservative runner has two tiny legs showing that he is very light on his feet. This is to show that almost all Tory politicians (97% in the last Census) have a keen interest in rent boys.

Lastly, those racist fucks the BNP were of course represented in this metaphor by a white runner and last we heard he’s lagging a fair way behind. He’s expected to finish on The Times front page at some point over the weekend.

graffiti of the week

Sure, Banksy is great and all but it’s time for a new street artist to step up and become Britain’s premier graffiti-er.

First up – this effort, found on a Matalan poster in Newcastle, which we’ve titled “Style”.

Note the all important postioning and the attention to detail (hairs) on the ball sack.

Video(s) of the week

At the first (and so far only) Springfield Film Festival, Homer Simpson had to choose between an art-house film about being an alcoholic, made by his best friend Barney Gumble, and the film below.

It was a tough call for Homer to make because, as he put it, “Barney’s movie had heart, but ‘Football in the Groin’ has a football in the groin.” In the end he voted for Barney’s film. But if this film had been entered the decision would have been even harder.

Sure “Football in the Groin” has a football in the groin but “Football in the Face” has a football in the face! And it has a front-flip/handspring throw-in to boot!!

For those of you who haven’t seen Barney’s film it’s pretty awesome. It’s in the Season 6 Episode “A Star Is Burns” but it isn’t on youtube. However, some Spanish(I think) dudes have remade it very well but be warned – it’s in Spanish(I think).
