Hello kids, Stu here. Firstly, a bucket of thanks to good old Josh for looking after hecklerspray last week. Wasn’t he wonderful?
Secondly, allow me to briefly bang on about where I was last week. As you may have heard, Saturday was World Contraception Day 2009. And as you may have also heard, it’s something I’ve been trying to help out with. So I’ve spent the last few days in Germany doing exactly that. And what a really sodding excellent cause it is.
So after the jump you’ll find an avalanche of World Contraception Day-related photos and videos and links. And if you love me you’ll look…
First, here’s a gratuitous and slightly unnecessary photo of the World Contraception Day Youth Task Force in all its glory:
From left to right – Claire Oelkers from the quite brilliant German band Karpatenhund, me from here, Phelipe Cruz from the marvellous Brazilian celebrity blog Papelpop.com, YouTube allstar Brooke Brodack, Mia Lee from the excellent Sexy Beijing and Colombian popstar extraordinaire Diana Angel.
Now, rather than thrash on like some kind of sub-par Bono, I’ll just hit you with a load of World Contraception Day links that you can do with as you please:
The official World Contraception Day site!
The World Contraception Day Youth Task Force blog!
The World Contraception Day Twitter feed!
The World Contraception Day Facebook page!
And, as a special bonus, a video of me and the others talking about World Contraception Day in an alarmingly professional way. Here’s a still from it, and don’t even pretend that you’re not impressed…
I’ve come away from Germany with not only an armful of mosquito bites and a pile of more Spanish swearwords than I could ever hope to learn, but also a greater understanding of the need for decent global information and access to contraception, so if you could sign up or watch any of the above I’d be awfully grateful.
We will now return to our scheduled bitter insincerity.

Mr. B did do well. For a man who can praise a second-hand item with such eloquence that you’d cheerfully rob a passer-by carrying something that bore even a faint resemblance to it; and who makes you want to take the Hitler assassination gear out of the time machine, just so you have more room for the presents with which you now plan to woo forgotten beauties, his tongue capably sharpened up to a keen edge for the HS captain’s chair. A round of, Mr. B – applause, toast, gin, whatever you like. You earned it.
As for yourself, welcome back from laudably hindering our idiot species’ rampant self-destruction. Now get back to work.
awww stu you’re adorable!
I’m adorable. Hear that, world? ADORABLE!
That was my favorite screen shot of the entire rather dull program. (Now The Darla Show, that’s entertaining.)
Hilarious, the withdrawal theory. You SHOULD have come to blows and smacked her right on her silly fanny. ha.
Adorable? You shush.
it was cute how they all pretended to be interested in what the other person was saying while all the while they were secretly wanting to smash their face in for droning on and on about some percentages and surveys. ha ha ‘alarmingly professional’, indeed! i still stand by the adorability factor though…
I´m from Colombia and I´m so happy because our Diana Ángel is part of this dream, She is wonderful and works ever for the teneegers and children in our country.
Congratulations team World Contraception Day!
