It's December! Already! The fact it's been snowing over the past few days should indicate two things. Firstly, it must be nearly Christmas, and secondly, apparently it does snow in December outside of greetings cards and comics and may not be lazy shorthand after all.
So anyway, it's time for this year's Dystopian Advent Calendar. You may remember last year that the background image for it was a fetching picture of a robin dreaming of Bill Oddie. How could I top that beautiful festive image?
Behold.
Same format as last year; each day will reveal a particularly annoying person that still plagues existence itself. The debut irritant is Russell Howard.
A man who has become increasingly annoying since Frankie Boyle left Mock the Week, more smug and self-assured with each passing episode of that and his own vanity project, Good News, using the same tired knob gags in a stupid voice all the live long day, this week he pushed me over the edge with, of all things, a Welsh sheep shagging joke (coupled with offensive accent). Why it's considered acceptable for this lazy form of racism is beyond me. Either way, he's earned the first spot on this year's calendar.
Cunt.
Come back tomorrow for the next window! Oh, what fun.

Great choice Ian, he deserves first turn - a very apt description of his pathetic self. A good choice for background image too. Is he still banged up (if you pardon the expression), dead, gone to the moon or disappointingly alive and producing more shit? Forgive my out of touchness but he's hardly a creature that you avidly wait for on TV
ReplyDeleteI think King was released a while back. I vaguely remember there was a documentary of him trying to make a comeback, which, of course, he claimed was a hatchet job. It'd be very difficult to do anything other than that if the subject matter showed no remorse for molesting children, the wonky-mouthed vile scumbag that he is.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you people dont like russell howard, we can all see that but is there any reason for the horrible comments about him?
ReplyDeletefine, if you dont like him, no one is fourcing you to, but just keep your comments to your selves. i dont think people really want to see horrible comments like that do they?
no matter what you think of the guy you cant deny that he has many fans out there who would happily argue thatwhat you all have said is a massive pile of bullshit, but each to there own i guess,
and whats with the picture? i think people have kinda gatherd that russell howard has a lazy eye but to be honest i dont really think it slowed him down any has it, because no affence but i think he will be earning quite a bit more then you and me, i think its wrong tht you pick up on one minor imperfect thing and make a meal out of it, because No ones perfect these days are they? its just advice but keep it to yourselves as no one really wants to read horrible/ affenceive things, the worlds depressing enough thanks,
Thanks for stopping by, Anonymous. As you posted your comment 3 months after the original blog post, I don't think anyone will see it. Don't panic, though, because I've given it centre stage: http://www.dystopianfuchsia.com/2011/04/for-anonymous-more-harsh-truths-about.html
ReplyDeleteHave a perfect day.
Hi Ian,
ReplyDeleteAs you probably have gathered from the way I regularly repeat it, I moved from The UK to Canada. It's a real effort to download programs I used to like, such as Mock The Week. I stuck at it for a while. I even continued after Frankie Boyle left. I know everyone says it isn't as funny since he left, so I don't need to go over that too much. But yeah. I stopped bothering to download it pretty fast. Not only does it miss Frankie, but Howard has ruined it in exactly the way you outline. He makes me grit my teeth.
