Hi there! First time here? Feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed. If you like what you read, you can vote for me on IrishBlogs.info. Thanks for visiting!

Know I haven’t posted in a while… (well… a week)… I guess I haven’t had much to say and was almost thinking of calling it a day like some other folks have.

Anyway, first off for today… Get on Facebook, get the chicks. You know it makes sense…

Considering my recent mini-obsession with Facebook, this made me laugh:

(Warning: Language may offend some people)

When I saw it first, though, he reminded me of that arse Westwood from MTV’s “Pimp My Ride UK”. Anyway, you can see more (and even buy a facebook gangsta t-shirt) here.

Love this, from the very rude Mr. Dundalk:

(Based on Lorcan Malone - the local kid on MTV’s ‘Super Sweet 16′ - see here and here for more.)

● Don’t forget… International Delete your Myspace Account Day is just over a week away!

● Well known and respected actor Heath Ledger - best known for his roles in ‘A Knights Tale’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’ looked like having a very bright and promising future. He’ll soon be seen in the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”. Sadly, he was found dead today in Manhattan. Here are some reports from RTÉ, BBC and CNN. You can google the rest. It’s also on Boards.ie (here and here) and Karl Hungus has a brief report here.

● Seen the “Tom Cruse on Tom Cruise, Scientologist” video? Laughed? Then you’ll love the parody.

● The Wall Street Journal reports that Disney is to launch mobile phone service in Japan, specifically targeting women.

● Via DownloadSquad:- Now you can get free CD & DVD burning software for your computer - support for BluRay and HD-DVD included!

● Gotta tune in to this - The Fanny Waters Show (via Damien) on Newstalk tomorrow morning. Hope someone records it! Best of luck, Fergal!

● Are Creme Eggs getting smaller or does Donncha just have huge hands?

● Vera Duckworth died a few days ago after 33 years on Coronation Street. She went peacefully in her sleep, of heart failure. She’s only a character in a TV show. She’s got over 600 friends on her new bebo page and nearly 400 members in her facebook group. Not bad, eh? (If you’re in the UK - or have a UK IP address - you can watch her best moments and her final moments here).

● Finally, … and JESUS!… I know we took the piss out of Lorcan Malone, but I didn’t know that THIS EXISTED.

Here’s the trailer:

We took the piss (as promised) out of Lorcan Malone (the Blackrock kid who was on MTV’s Super Sweet 16 recently) live on the show tonight.

We read out comments from Twenty Major, and others who’d voiced their disgust on YouTube. Frankly the whole thing was pretty hilarious (…for us in the studio, anyway…).

The whole thing is already up on the Audio Archive on the Wall of Sound site as a podcast, or you can have a listen here:

We also did the Top Ten Girl Groups of All Time, and poked fun at Tom Cruise (that’s also on the audio archive…)

Nice.
