5 Reasons Why Prince Harry is a Complete Embarrassment

August 23rd, 2012 By Chris Starr

Well, he was grown up for five days. I guess that’s all you can ask for really. He is, after all, ginger, spoilt, and unlikely to ever see himself as King. A guy’s got to do what a guy’s got to do, and in that case it means letting off steam and making the British Royal Family seem like it’s a college kid at a kegger.

We are of course talking about Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales, known to Harry by some and a monumental fuckup to the 70 million people of Britain. You see, we were doing so well this year. We had the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. We held the Olympics. The Paralympics was coming up round the corner. People around the world liked us and respected us! But then ginger Harry had to come and fuck it up, as he always does. Let’s count the ways he’s screwed over the country by being an absolute lad.

Hey! You Can Buy Mark Chapman’s Copy Of Double Fantasy That John Lennon Signed Just Before He Got Shot Dead!

November 24th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

John Lennon, one quarter of The Beatles and writer of stone cold classic tracks like ‘It’s So Hard’, ‘Meat City’ and ‘My Mummy’s Dead’, got bumped off this Earth in one of the most oddest of fashions.

How many people’s ghosts can say ‘Well, I got shot dead by a man who asked for my autograph hours before I departed this shitty little planet.’? Not many.

And now, if you’re wealthy and fond of macabre artefacts, you can buy an album covered in murderer’s fingerprints. Yesireebob! An American dealer is selling the copy of John Lennon’s ‘Double Fantasy’ LP which he signed for Mark Chapman the day he thought he should kill a really famous person.

Sometimes, You Can Convince Yourself That John Lennon’s Death Was A Good Thing

October 11th, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

John Lennon wrote some great songs didn’t he? He’s responsible for more great songs than your average band manages in a lifetime twice as long as Lennon’s musical career. As it would have been Lennon’s birthday this weekend, everyone has been heaping praise on The Beatles’ number one corpse.

However, we don’t much care for eyeless fawning at hecklerspray and knowing damn well that all musicians deserve to be treated with utter contempt, we’d like to put forward the reasons why John Lennon, when he was in the mood, was one of the worst song-writers on the planet.

And he was y’know?

Hecklerspray: Endorsed By John Lennon Says Yoko Ono (Kinda)

September 21st, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

The day John Lennon died, the world lost one of its greatest talents. However, it also cemented a legacy as well, because, shortly before Lennon died, he was making records so bad that people started to doubt the assumed wisdom that ears were an evolutionary advantage.

Basically, John Lennon’s death ensured that his quality output would always outnumber his criminal records (something which cannot be said for Paul McCartney).

However, the collective we can’t help but wonder what Lennon would have done had he lived. Would he have had another creative spurt which would turn music on its head? Would he have let Jools Holland play that awful boogie-woogie piano on his TV appearances? Yoko Ono has a theory and it involves him pissing about on the internet.
