There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Sobering image, The modern drug:

Found this today on the interwebs and thought it was a pretty chilling image (hopefully not offending anyone or the U rating) just makes you think.



Obviously I'm not trying to scare monger, I'm sure similar images were made for MMO gaming and chat rooms and probably VHS and technology pre-dating that that people can take enjoyment from. Just makes you think.

The new opiate of the masses.

The orwellian thought police of the modern age would have a p*ss easy job in hunting down people they didn't like... just type something anti-establishment and end it with "like and share" #you'renickedsunshine et cetera.


The amazing thing is the seriousness that people endow the social media sites with, a "blocking" on there (because they talk bollox...) seen as a blood insult! Interesting one for some pshrinks to ponder over I suppose!

I heard some politician type on the radio this morning saying MI5 could have stopped the Woolwich murder if Nick Clegg had not stopped the communications bill AKA the snoopers charter.

Some still want big brother listening.

That's a great cartoon in the satirical old school style. A picture paints a thousand words and all that.
