(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

Logo for Central TV

One for defunct ITV franchise nerds - Josh Safdie's new production company is called Central Pictures, and for reasons I can't establish, the logo is the same as the old Central Television logo. Spotted it on the opening of "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You".

The defining feature of the modern far right is that it’s made up of deeply weird and unpleasant people who want, more than anything, to be cool and popular. And if they can’t earn that status legitimately they’ll co-opt it by force.

Cruelty to immigrants is not what my party stands for. It’s time for True Labour, not Blue Labour | Stella Creasy We must get back to the party’s roots before it is too late. That means embracing difference, rejecting division – and fighting for opportunities for all, says MP for Walthamstow, Stella Creasy

This is more like it - Stella Creasy really chucking the gauntlet down and rightly so: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Betteridge's law of headlines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.
