Paul McCartney & The BNP: Can We Blame Him? Can We At Least Try?
Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney has revealed his decision to avoid voting in the recent European Parliament Elections, as a protest to naughty governmental shenanigans. The 'annoying sounding one' from the pop legends told of his choice to abstain in an interview with The Independent, saying his decision came about as a result of the ongoing expenses scandal. For those not in the know: the people in charge of Britain spent a great deal of taxpayers money on personal items like houses for ducks. HOUSES FOR DUCKS.

Hecklerspray at E3: Rock Band: The Beatles

They were even joined by Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, the wives of the dead half of the Fab Four, John Lennon and George Harrison.

The Beatles Reunite! Minus Two Members!
There’s nothing more we love then seeing a band reunite so they can relive former glories. Of course, it would be cynical of us to see it as a money making money opportunity, but what do we know? Perhaps in fifty years time, the current writing staff of hecklerspray will get together in a grotty boozer to relive the past. Plenty of bands such as Led Zeppelin, Take That and - despite no one wanting them - Crowded House have reformed for gigs and spanking new material. Now one of the world’s finest bands have come back together, just minus a couple of key band members.

Paul McCartney Loves All (White) Mankind
Oh dear. Paul McCartney, thumb-obsessed ex-ruler of The Beatles, has done a Miley. We've all been there: you're walking along with your granddad, when suddenly you spot someone approaching who is quite obviously not of your racial group. Your head sinks way down into your thorax, as the old man rather loudly says, "Hey, look. It's a [horrific racial slur]". Paul McCartney's staff recently found themselves in a very similar position at an airport.

Sorry Grandpa: Still No Beatles On iTunes
If you've been waiting to hear what hot new pop combo The Beatles sound like, then you're in for a spot of bad news. Paul McCartney from The Beatles has announced that none of his band's music will be available on iTunes for the foreseeable future because everyone is arguing over money. But Paul McCartney says he wants The Beatles on iTunes, EMI wants The Beatles on iTunes, and iTunes wants The Beatles on iTunes, so all is not yet lost. Until then, the music of The Beatles is still available on something we're told is called a Seed Ee, and you can put these Beatles Seed Ees into your computer and download them onto iTunes that way. But this Seed Ee-buying method does involve leaving the house, and that's so old-fashioned that they may as well be asking to go into the woods and kill Beatles songs with rocks for food. What do we look like, bloody Luddites?

Paul McCartney’s Got A New Way To Kick The Beatles In The Nuts
With The Beatles Anthology, Let It Be Naked and that horrible Cirque Du Soleil thing, Beatles fans have never been left wanting. But now Paul McCartney has dreamt up a brand new way to make even the most ardent Beatles fan drop to their knees and scream "Stop it! Stop punching it! It's already dead!" at him - he's going to release the never-before-heard, experimental 14-minute Beatles track Carnival Of Light. Carnival Of Light is, of course, probably most famous for being just about the only Beatles track to not be included on The Beatles Anthology because George Harrison and Ringo Starr thought it was rubbish. And look at some of the stuff Ringo Starr has released - he's essentially saying that Carnival Of Light is even worse than Snookeroo.

Paul McCartney Wins MTV Award For Being Really Old
MTV EMAs - if ever there was a show like the MTV VMAs but worse because it's held somewhere cold and drizzly, it's you. The MTV Europe Music Awards took place last night in Liverpool, and it was the perfect opportunity for the city to show off that famous sense of humour it's always blathering on about. How did it do this? By naming Rick Astley as the Best Act Ever? No - it did it by giving 30 Seconds To Mars multiple awards even though they're the worst band in the history of recorded music. Oh, you crazy Liverpudlians with your funny pranks. Also Paul McCartney got given something called an Ultimate Legend award at the MTV EMAs, which isn't surprising because he's hands-down the thing that Liverpool is most famous for. Well, the most tangible one, anyway - it's not like you can give an award to a chippy sense of wounded resentment, is it?

Paul McCartney Wants You To Stop Eating At McDonald’s, Please
Having seen off the threat of Islamic terrorism with his recent Israel concert, Paul McCartney is now going after the real menace - the Fillet-O-Fish. Paul McCartney has chosen to summon up all the energy in his wrinkly little body to call on his fans to boycott McDonald's. Not because of the deforestation caused by the fast food industry's mass farming practises, though, or McDonald's aggressive child-centric marketing, or even the potential health risks inherent in a predominantly fast food diet. No, Paul McCartney wants everyone to boycott McDonald's because someone put a photo of Paul McCartney up in a Liverpool branch without asking him first. Come back next week, when Paul McCartney tries to ban abortion because he heard that someone who aborted her pregnancy once hummed three notes from Love Me Do for one and a half seconds in a shower on her own in 1975.
