I walked into my current barber on a recommendation. They had a footie game on the tv so no awkward small talk. I insult AC Milan and they insult Liverpool and we are all good.
I had a rave ponytail back in my college days
I assume a rave ponytail is dyed several colours, all of which glow under a blacklight, and tied up with one of those candy bracelets?
I think it was a typo and he meant a brave ponytail.

Then you need Detective Comics #241.
Also, Flash #115 might be helpful…
I would just like to make it clear: I am not carrying a male model in my pocket.

This is a safety card from a Jetstar plane.
You leave the Dead Zoo alone, you monster!
Love It!
At least Raymond Chandler was professional about it. I imagine Hunter S. Thompson would have just shot his proofreader.

Oh ok. I suspected it might be that, I just wasn’t sure how they were getting exploited and/or sold stuff.

He’s running for mayor of New York and the discourse is basically a lot of NYC residents pointing out he’s full of shit followed by arguments from people who have bought into his ideas like they’re in a cult.
Shouldn’t the middle read “Trump Supporters”?
I wonder if they have specials on Happy Endings
Love it Dave.
It’s amazing how huge the magazine market still is in the UK. You go to the US and there’s a really small shelf of classic stuff left, like Rolling Stone, Time, Forbes etc.
Although in theory it’s meant to be dying you go to WH Smiths in the UK and there’s still loads of shit available. There’s these nonsense magazine for women by the dozen, puzzle books, tons of kids comics/activity books, motoring mags, film and TV mags. Even with endless free stuff on the internet there’s still half a dozen Paul Raymond Publications porn mags.
I know it’s partly because getting wide distribution in the UK is very easy but it’s all rather strange.
79p is really cheap too.
I shamelessly copied this and posted it in the funny images thread on another board I go to and got this response (from a “I’m no fan of Trump but let me explain at length why I agree with everything he’s ever said” “rational centrist” type guy):
So that teaches us, I guess.
I had to google this magazine to see if it was real.
It’s bizarre isn’t it? I don’t think so much the content, loads of people watch true crime and serial killer stuff and all that, it’s just the juxtaposition with the title.
The most popular and first of this genre is ‘Take A Break’ which sound like a nice relaxing thing to do with a cup of tea and a biscuit and the lead article is ‘My 5 year old was murdered’.
I mean look at this:
Your lead story when ‘taking a break’ is a dead baby?
Why not just call it ‘Horrible Shit’ or “be glad your life isn’t this dreadful”?
I do really want to read that seagull one though.
Yeah that’s a fair point, so do I.

I laugh every time I see it in the shops as a result of this board.
I should buy a copy next time and see what all the fuss is about.

I’m assuming they’re like 50% adverts, 50% of which is for similar magazines.
I guess it’s an indictment on British life – dead-end jobs, no hope of a change of government and so forth – that these things are entertainment for people.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one being read in public
It’s obviously meant to be read in private, while you wallow in shame and self-loathing.
Sort of like a Jackie Collins novel.

I would see the National Enquirer and Weekly World News at the grocery store. Sadly, the headlines were always better than the actual story.

Eh, probably someone summarizing two Hitchcock movies as one movie.

IIRC (since I was a kid at the time) at the beginning of the Second Gulf War, I saw a tabloid with the headline “Saddam’s WMDs are in fact resurrected dinosaurs”

Trolling places like r/conservative is surprisingly easy.
Today’s was a good one.
The dad looks totally worth it. Also I’m 90% certain “the sis” is Simon Mayo.
I wonder if all the headlines on that cover are about the same family.
I wonder if there is any truth to these stories or if it’s all made up bullshit.

I think there may be a grain of truth but it’s sensationalized to the Nth degree.
A former coworker knew someone who had a story about an experience appear in the National Enquirer. The person told the coworker that they embellished everything, including quotes of things he never said.

So, symbolism doesn’t seem like a concept that guy is familiar with, yeah? I’m a bit surprised that he didn’t also go on about how dogs don’t actually go out and catch criminals on their own.

Yup there are ones out there that just make shit up (like the Sunday Sport newspaper) but these invite people to tell their stories and pay for them.
A friend of mine did an interview with them for a story. It was meant to be a positive story, she had transitioned to a woman and as a result of being happier had lost loads of weight. They wrote the whole thing with emphasis on her misery before that, making up the she was suicidal which she wasn’t. Lesson learnt not to deal with them.
I’m familiar with them through the TakeAShite twitter account, which posts the covers and some of the “useful” tips from within similar mags:
Today’s was a good one.
They’re straying from the British Tabloid formula of “[Insert Celebrity Name Here] Sex/Porn Dwarf/Midget Killed by [Something Unusual]”.
More like, when you really want to kill your friends.
You may think this is just a joke, but I listen to heavy metal and I’ve never had Covid-19. QED I think.
