Pariah Dogs And Wandering Madmen

by Smitty Returning home, I sat down with a cuppa tea and took in Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage. As an unrepentant fanboi, it was a full-on treat, except the part which was a pleasure. I’ll definitely catch them on the Time Machine Tour. Somewhat cheesily, the movie ends with an exit question of why […]

VIDEO: Hate Crime Caught on Camera!

Be prepared for stomach-churning nausea if you click the “play” button on what Fark.com has quite accurately described as “The worst version of ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ in the entire history of ever.” A genuinely vicious desecration of a great song: That’s so unspeakably wrong, I did some research in an attempt to understand why anyone […]
