Anglesey Is Still Gully. So is Immortal Technique. And Ben Myers.

When I was a kid growing up on Anglesey in North Wales (I say “on” because it is an Island, doofus), it wasn’t uncommon for pissed up “Adults” to suddenly appear from nowhere (we later discovered it was actually “The Pub”) wielding makeshift weapons (sticks, rocks, planks of wood, bottles) and trying their pissed-up best to savagely beat us senseless, all the while laughing manically and shouting slogans from early eighties action movies.

Usually running away worked as these “Adults” were, after all, but lumbering drunkards, and you could then spend the rest of the day plotting revenge, or sneakily following them around throwing stones at the backs of their heads then hiding behind bushes.

ANYWAY! It is nice to see the tradition still exists. The BBC have footage of a drunk attacking some Star Wars worshiping-geeks whilst dressed in a bin bag and wielding a metal crutch. The piss-head said in court he “had no idea where he got the crutch from”, but I suspect it was probably some POOR CRIPPLED OLD LADY. Wasteman! Lock him up and throw away the key!

Incidentally, the kids that got attacked are the Arch Deacons (or whatever you call them) of Anglesey’s First Church Of Jedi Bullcrap, or whatever it’s called. Charlotte Church gave them five grand to set the thing up. Only I am reporting this connection. The BBC didn’t bother putting that puzzle together. Where’s my Pulitzer?

Entirely unrelated (well…), but Immortal Technique has this new joint about some wastemen raping a lady and pretending to be Tony Montana, which you can download here (link via 2DopeBoyz), It’s a new update of an older joint called Dancing With The Devil. This new version has some Eminemey beat which makes it much better, surprisingly. It is really, really good, and pretty disturbing. Proper old school story telling shit (word to Dizzee).

Finally, I dunno if you remember, but a while ago I mentioned my boy Ben Myers was making a book of spam-inspired poetry. This was a genius idea, and he was first to have it, as far as I know. I was gonna illustrate the thing, but I forgot, what with all the records and poverty. Wish I hadn’t now! The book is out, and it looks awesome. Check out one of the poems after the jump, and go buy the book for a fiver here.

Neck Of The Woods

In the corner

the gem engraver

tussles round-handed
with his shoulder strap
skullcap speedwell

feeder.

The mealy-mouthed

magician pulls hats

from rabbits

his silk-stitched sleeves,

dripping dead dove

blood.

His assistant

is a chrome robot

in fishnets

that punters pay extra

to hump and

polish

- meanwhile the band plays

on and on with

snares of skin and

muscle strings;

an endless canon of funereal chants

and dark incantations.

  • Spam inspired poetry… hmm..

    I don’t know, but hey Akira, I was looking some more stuff on GTA 4 and how to get you one, and I went on it’s wiki page. You know that crazy lawyer ‘Jack Thompson’? Wants to ban al games and forms of entertainment not. (cough)(cough) ‘family orientated’. Here’s a exerpt from that page…

    Please not the last paragragh…
    LULZ!

    “Jack Thompson
    In 2007, Jack Thompson, a Florida lawyer who had previously campaigned against other Grand Theft Auto games, stated he would take various measures to prevent the sale of the game by Rockstar to minors.[66] On 14 March 2007, Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, filed a lawsuit[67] against Thompson in Florida in an attempt to pre-emptively block him from trying to declare its games a public nuisance. It would be a crime to sell games declared to be a public nuisance, effectively banning such games, which they believe would be a violation of First Amendment rights.[68] Thompson responded by filing a countersuit,[69] accusing Take-Two of violating federal RICO statutes (the charge was later dropped), committing perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiring against him with third parties to deprive him of his civil rights.[70][71]

    On 20 April 2007, both parties reached a settlement[72] and agreed to drop their respective lawsuits. Under the terms of the settlement Thompson is barred from suing to block the sale or distribution of any future games published by Take-Two or any of its subsidiaries. He will be restricted to communicating through Take-Two’s attorneys on any future matters. Thompson will still be able to maintain his outspoken stance against the publisher’s titles, as well as still being allowed to act as counsel in lawsuits brought against Take-Two by other parties. For their part, Take-Two agreed to drop its contempt of court lawsuit against Thompson regarding alleged improper conduct during the Bully court hearings in Florida,[73][74] which, if found to be in contempt, would have resulted in Thompson seeing jail time.[75][76][77]

    On 18 September 2007, Jack Thompson filed a document[78] with a federal court in Florida that claims that the assassination target of a mission in GTA IV is a lawyer character based upon himself. When the main protagonist enters his office and pulls a gun on him, the lawyer yells “Guns don’t kill people! Video games do!” Thompson has threatened that unless the similarities to himself are removed from the game he will “take necessary and proper means to stop release of the game”.[79]

    On 25 April 2008, it was reported in the Metro that Jack Thompson had written a letter to the mother of Strauss Zelnick, Director of Take-Two Interactive. In the letter, which strongly criticised the game, Zelnick and his mother, Thompson called Grand Theft Auto a “murder simulator”. He went on to say that “The pornography and violence that your son traffics in is the kind of stuff that most mothers would be ashamed to see their son putting into the hands of other mothers’ children”. Thompson then questions Strauss Zelnick’s upbringing and says that his mother should be ashamed of herself, and that she “spared the rod and spoiled the child. That would explain why he has brought you, by the way he presently acts, to shame.” He finishes by saying “Happy Mothers’ Day, Mrs Zelnick, which this year is May 11, two weeks after your son unleashes porn and violence upon other mothers’ boys. I’m sure you’re very proud.” Neither Take-Two interactive nor Rockstar Games have made any comment regarding the matter.[80]

    LULZ!
