It can't be easy to come up with new names for animals all the time. Thousands of new creatures are uncovered every year, and scientists only have so many dogs and kids to inspire them. So why not delve into the murky world of celebrity? Why not name a new type of predator after your favourite band? Why not christen a new species of maggot after your least favourite? In fact, back in Hecklerspray HQ we have discovered a new type of fungus growing out of one of our unwashed cups. Please free to write in with your suggestions, but at the moment we are leaning towards Sting or Elizabeth Hurley.
Hecklerspray tried writing a book for children once.
It didn't get that far. Apparently - according to those 'publisher'-types - children just aren't interested in post-New Labour reinterpretations of Milton Friedman's economic theorising. Apparently that's all a bit 'complex' for them, and we'd be much better off with some predictable tract about a cat looking for a balloon. Christ almighty - no wonder they're all so stupid, the pram-dwelling little bastards.
God bless those celebrities, then, eh? God bless 'em. Better than us mere mortals in every way, they've decided to show us how it's done.
Madonna love Malawi, this much we know. Madonna loves Malawi like she loves horrific leotards and getting her arm muscles all veiny.
And that's why Madonna recently invited every single famous person alive to the United Nations to help raise money to save Malawi.
A noble gesture, sure, but not especially long-sighted - because now that Madonna's helping to get Malawi richer, she's effectively reducing the number of penniless illiterate Malawian widowers who she can confuse into letting her adopt their children in the future. Silly Madonna.
