The Trouble With Facebook…
…Is Us.
Everybody is moaning about the ‘new’ Facebook update, which is just like the last time everybody moaned about the ‘new’ Facebook update, which was just like the previous time everybody moaned about the ‘new’ Facebook update, which was just like…
Loserville loves: The Co-op!
We normally despise pimping big brands but we truly believe the Co-operative is an exemplary brand in the age of recession.
New Brighton Rock film a triumph for gender politics
When first time film Director Rowan Joffe decided to pluck the much celebrated novel Brighton Rock from its 1937 setting and relocate it in the swinging 60s, he should have known he’d be in for some ear bashing…
Is Religion the root of all evil?
Major uproar was sparked this week after a Channel 4 investigation revealed that more than half of those catholic priests convicted of child abuse since 2001 were allowed to remain in the priesthood upon their release from jail – with some still receiving financial support from the Church and living in church houses.

Slavoj Zizek: Trendy Wendy or (Das) Real Ding?
Pop philosopher Zizek churns up the palatable and spews it out for all to see. His shock potential is high and unglamorous.
