I don't think they should get the oxygen of publicity, Justin. Just the carbon monoxide of indifference.

That wasn't anything like a Blue Jam monologue. It was shit. Not exactly incisive, but use a blunt instrument for a simple task eh.

Has to take the biscuit. Not only has he stolen a gag from Spaced - yes there was one - about wanking, he's turned it into a poem. The man should be strung up and the key thrown away.

In fact - dear god spare us - it gets worse:
http://www.houseofcommoners.co.uk/projector/pilot/

they're making a fricking TV show that sounds horribly Jam-esque.

Let them have their fun. Sounds harmless enough.

None of these links work.

Fortunately, by the sound of it.

Obviously this doesn't apply to their own stealing, thieving pimping and 'borrowing'. And can a site with such a flagrant disregard for the correct use of the apostrophe be considered 'intellectual property'?

Christ on fire. This is truly awful. The worst example of the "anyone can do that" mentality - they can't, they really fucking can't.

And it's an unstoppable 11 O'Clock Show approach, as well - they are completely convinced of their own genius. They take any criticism as proof that they "must be doing something right". Press them a bit more and they'll snap that "at least they're making an effort" and "damn well trying to do something", as if that compensates for the fact that it's crashingly bad.

(I'm hopeless at maths. If I was angry about the lack of good maths books available in schools and tried to write one of my own, it would be an enormously shit idea, because I'm hopeless at maths. It would be a waste of everyone's time. The fact that I was "trying to make a difference" would be irrelevant. It would be shit.)

They come across like someone who's tone-deaf desperately trying to ape the songs they hear around them every day, and distantly, in the back of their minds, wondering why they can't.


(NB The links worked fine for me, Mike - which is odd, as it's usually my Mac which can't cope with simple things like "links" and "not crashing repeatedly". )

If they ever make their pilot TV show, I think it should be called "Drink Yourself Sick", on the grounds that:

1. it simultaneously sounds laddish and also vaguely "dark",
2. they drone on about being in the pub a lot,
3. they made a sick joke about a paraplegic.

So therefore "Drink Yourself Sick" is the ideal title for their DIY show, containing multiple references and layers of meaning... bet they use it, too.

>And can a site with such a flagrant disregard for the correct use of the apostrophe be considered 'intellectual property'?

Quite. It's "your". "Your". "YOUR"!

It's not difficult is it? "What's you are problem?" would be meaningless, hence it's "your" and not "you're".

Ahem.
