The Anti Arty Farty Party …thoughts of an Ageing Hippy Highlander

Dumb marries Dumber in fairytale wedding

Jade Goody marries Jack Tweed in fairytale wedding — Telegraph.

First let’s be clear — I feel very sad for Jade Goody. It’s awful that a young mum has to die because of an all-​to-​common illness.

But…

It’s not that long ago that this poor soul was being vilified across the Globe for being a nasty, vicious, racist moron.

On the evidence she certainly was (is?).

Now she’s terminally ill she’s suddenly a saint.

Apparently millions of women are demanding smear tests as a direct result of her plight, although I’m not sure where the evidence for this assertion comes from.

Sorry folks but this is just the conclusion of a very tawdry story.

Some fairytale. I thought they had a happy endings.

Apparently she’s going to screw as much money as she can out of the media to “ensure that her children have a better education than she did”.

I’d admire her more if she raised the money and gave it all to Cancer Research.

I just wish the poor lassie would go home and live what’s left to her with some dignity.

If the Press needed a story for the weekend they could have given much more coverage to the passing of Christopher Nolan.

A true story of courage overcoming the odds.

Stupid, but no big deal…

Smokers’ groups and manufacturers have condemned government proposals to clamp down on cigarette vending machines and packets of 10 in an attempt to stop children and young people smoking.”

The NannyNazis are rapidly running out of ideas in their campaign to “de-​normalise” smoking.

These latest ideas are just fucking daft. They won’t have any effect on youth smoking, other than to make it more appealing. It’ll be a challenge to get your hands on a packet of fags — and the guy with the fags will get “respect”.

I’ve never once said that smoking is a good thing, indeed I think we should use all the available existing laws to stop young people from buying tobacco.

Gee's a fag...

We have good enough laws in place — just enforce them. Any retailer found to be selling fags to minors should lose their licence to sell tobacco — no questions, no appeals just take the licence away. And the same goes for drink, by the way.

Scotland has increased the legal age to buy tobacco to 18 — good I say. But once you reach 18 then you’re free to choose whether you smoke or not — in exactly the same way you decide to climb mountains or not or drive very fast motor bikes or not.

These are all risky activities but we should all have the choice about which risks we want to take in life.

As far as banning fag-​machines is concerned I couldn’t give a fuck! They’re a complete rip-​off anyway and I’d be delighted to see the greedy bastards who operate them out of business.

No branding? So what, I don’t smoke the packet so a plain white one is fine by me. Actually leaves more room to doodle on it — unless they cover it with pictures of dying people or diseased organs.

Many great inventions started as a scribble on the back of a fag packet!

Hiding them under the counter? Sounds OK to me…

…Or am I supposed to feel like a dirty old pervert when I go into a shop and surreptitiously ask for 20 in a plain bag please!

This is de-​normalisation at work.

So no, I’m not one of the pro-​smokers complaining about the latest ravings. I don’t care — these measures are bound to be completely pointless and will do nothing to stop youngsters seeing smoking as ‘cool’.

And anyway, how will they roll a decent joint with out some baccy.

Maybe they’ll just skin-​up with pure grass instead — looks like it’ll be easier for them to get a hold of than tobacco.

Jesus hates Starbucks!

Well the God-​bothering Holy Willies are at it again!

Apparently the new Starbucks logo is so offensive that one group of nutters are calling for a boycott of the chain.

The problem? The logo shows a ‘bare-​breasted’ mermaid who looks like a prostitute with her legs spread!

Starbucks Coffee

Fucking hell! It’s a 16th century Norse drawing of a two-​tailed mermaid — so it doesn’t even have fucking legs!

It seems to me that the ‘religious’ are the most sex-​obsessed of all. They always seem to be banging (sorry) on about sex and morality but at the same time producing kids (for God) at an industrial rate.

Marrying multiple child-​brides seems to be OK for some of these cults and abuse by ministers and priests is quietly swept under the carpet as we have seen time after time.

We have a world full of pain and suffering yet the Great and the Good are getting hot under the collar over a logo for a fucking coffee shop!

I think that tells us all we need to know about the ‘Moral Majority’ as they like to badge themselves.

Personally I’m a bit disappointed that there are no nipples on show!

“The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a
prostitute,” said Mark Dice, the group’s founder. “Need I say more? The
company might as well call itself Slutbucks.”

Ban on drunken chat-​up for thief

clipped from news​.bbc​.co​.uk
A convicted rapist who stole underwear has been banned for life from making sexual advances towards women while under the influence of alcohol.

I fucking love it!

Sorry, I don’t mean to trivialise the seriousness of mysoginistic crimes perpetrated by fuckwits like this.

I just wanted to point out what a stupid fucking order this sheriff handed down;

The Sexual Offences Prevention Order prohibits Allan for life…

from approaching any females who are not known to him whilst under the influence of alcohol and using sexualised and/​or threatening behaviour towards them.”

So I take it it’s OK for him to do all of the above if he is not under the influence of alcohol?

If he doesn’t understand that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable then why is he not locked up?
