Insane

Just seen this story:

Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism.

Symbolism gone mad.

Stupid Nostalgia

Not checked in for a while, but nevermind, just been indulging in some nostalgia and thought I'd share some of it round.

This is a video of The Happy Mondays performing Performance on The Other Side of Midnight, I remember watching this and being absolutely blown away:



So that was the thing I was looking for but then the search results threw up some more shit I thought I might as well check out. There's this of the Fall performing (complete with retro VHS "effects"), "if there was a holy grail, only this man should be allowed to pick it up":



And lastly there's this of Peter Hook performing a New Order song by himself, which I remember thinking was really cool when I saw it all them years ago. Still do I guess.
