DELUXE – the ignore my rant man

And this is what FIRST introduced me to work of Johnny Deluxe

A rather pithy and pointed piquant pulchritude of passion poignancy and persuasive poetry

Great poem … great voice … love it!!

And a huge thanx to Meester Mainey, Kilmarnock’s finest, for the introduction

Stand Up! – Don’t Stand for Homophobic Bullying

Irish anti homophobic bullying advertisement, created as part of BeLonG To Youth Services annual Stand Up! LGBT Awareness Weeks. The campaign promotes friendship amongst young people as a way to combat homophobic bullying.
For more information on the campaign please see:

Written & Directed by Anna Rodgers & Aoife Kelleher
Produced by Zlata Filipovic
I thought this wee film was superb … it almost moved me to tears, probably due to the fact that it was so poignant, and has a particular relevance to me as I’ve known two young guys who’ve committed suicide, with homophobic bullying being a major factor in their depression … poverty being another
I posted the film on Facebook, and left a note on a FB page, thanking the lady who’d tipped me off on the clip … and then this FB conversation resulted … I tried so hard to be polite throughout, but ggggrrrrr!!!!

CAPITALISLAM

My mate Jim Brady, of Nanobot fame, has suggested a modification to my Capitalislam graphic, which allies the worst of both world’s, politically and socially, for the future.

The modification is as cluttered, and impractical as the concept – But I’m sure someone will see it as being practical, … and profitable … ???


The West Wing- Bible Lesson

One of the best scenes from one of the US’s finest dramas ever

.

Writer Aaron Sorkin broke all sorta ground on this, dealing with highly controversial issues in a manner few had tried previously on US television … I’m also a HUGE fan of his next project, “Studio 60 On The sunset Strip” … which was cancelled … probably because it was so intelligent, pertinent and again, controversial

.

The Wee Man – Da Fleeto

I take a strong stance on media which further promote the myths of Scottish and Glaswegian stereotypes

.

However … I fukken love The Wee Man … so tongue in cheek, it comes out your ear … and in yir brain

.

.

And do visit his site … there is a vid of him at the Scottish Comedian of the Year Final in 2007, where he gives one of the judges, Steve Bennet (editor of online comedy magazine “Chortle”), a true verbal roasting that was deemed to be threatening and offensive by many at the time

.

It is, in fact, a wee moment of comic genius
