Activism, baby! In tasty ice cream form. Ice cream concocters Ben & Jerry’s are sticking it to the man – that man, specifically, being the umbrella-chucker Donald Trump – with a new flavour of ice cream. Well, technically it’s an old flavour, but it’s being renamed. Does that make it new? It’s Theseus’s paradox all over […]

Oh, Fiddy. Truly. We are not worthy. I’m a big fan of 50 Cent. Not for the music, which has been consistently terrible after the admittedly excellent Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Not for his acting, which, again, has been extremely wooden since his first film, the semi-autobiographical crime drama called, yep, Get Rich or Die […]

The next Bond film will almost certainly be Daniel Craig’s last. The search rumbles on for a new James Bond, aka 007, the martini-sippin’, tuxedo-wearing, fisticuff-having secret agent with extremely questionable ethics and an entire personality derived from making other people feel like shit. Truly, the Great British hero if there ever was one. Barbara […]

Please never eat this. We’ve covered a lot of interesting food stories recently.

A real shame for all the strange, strange people out there who are super-protective of fictional characters.
