The new Tarantino movie looks a jovial jaunt - plan to see it, if not in the cinema then through the medium of Russian piracy...
But for the love of Grud! It's just been advertised on...well Dave - the only channel worth watching on Freeview and even though the ad contained lots of lovely blood sprays and other violence it was called "Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious"
Weellllllll Excuse Me! (c) S Martin But I can pass by billboards 20ft high where it has it's official title "Inglorious BASTERDS"
Was I offended? Did I drop my shopping? Faint? No...Chuckle...Yes, Feck it's not even a real word - yet the tv thinks I'd be offended. The word is Bastard.
Self censorship is the way to go...I've been using it for years and I haven't been offended unless I've accidentaly flicked to BB or anything "Celebrity" - then I'm made livid.
"Flicked" is another example - Printed media banned the word Flick for years as in some fonts the l and the i combine to make a u...I have to admit as a child I would laugh as I saw it in the Daily Rangers tv section..."Flicks" with the sainted Neil Buchanan.
Example #3 Those make-up ads - for mascara...Show models with long luxurious lovely lashes...look towards the bottom of the screen and read the small print..."Model has lash inserts and post production has been applied" - This means your use of said product will in no way match what you have been shown.
Advertising has always been lies but in this day and age they are made to show what lies they are telling and I laugh my arse off with each new ad.

what happened to your happy post - y'know the one about kittens and sparkles and happy things?
D.B.R. Delayed By Rant.
Bah, 'twas Christopher Lillicrap who was the Flicks majordomo and I claim my five pounds!
Take that for the whole Captain Flicking Mar-Vell debacle, ya basterd !!!
I was just testing you....motherflicker!
I was thinking Buchanan wasn't old enough as I typed but I could not be arsed to check my facts...coincidently I got a job offer from The Sun this morning.
Thanks for clearing that up as the actress said to the doctor.
Well, I did always say to you that it was criminal of you to keep a rack like that covered up...
...oh, sorry, not that kind of Sun job offer, okay, erm, ho-hum...
We're not expected to do happy posts with butterflies and/or rainbows are we?
I thought this was the "angry rant only" blog?
P.S. let me know which day you're "featuring" in the Sun so I can limit myself to the sport section.
I tried to post about nice things but when a post starts "Butterflys? WTF! Coming over here...." sorry too much Sun.
Can't rant today, it's been too nice but I'm sure Mex and I will thrash out a few thousand on Saturday.
