A bit of brain cleansing
The last few days blogging haven’t been much fun. I am totally, like, ired at the catholic church and its members and apologists. Every time a new article pops up on the news I want to fire rockets at them … Continue reading
Prosecute them all
See any priest that abused a child? Prosecute him. I don’t care if he’s 90 years of age and dribbling down his chin. Prosecute him. See any bishop that covered it up, that moved a priest, that helped that priest … Continue reading

As the faithful go to mass today – and I’m sure poor attendance will be because of the rain, nothing else – what leadership has the Taoiseach shown in the wake of the Dublin report? People want to see criminals … Continue reading
It is time to turn our back on the criminal catholic church ltd
The audio clip below is a Father Tom Doyle, an expert in canon law, speaking to RTE’s Prime Time … in 2002 (hat tip @mark_coughlan). His final words – “There’s something radically, radically wrong”. Yesterday we discovered how wrong. The … Continue reading

Mental reservation
Words fail me. There’s so much to digest in the Dublin Diocesan report but this report in the Irish Times is just gobsmacking. “Mental reservation”. What utter cunts. More thoughts on it tomorrow … If you can wade through it … Continue reading
Change one letter pop stars
Before the undoubted trauma that is the Dublin diocesan report, time to revisit and old favourite. Change 1 letter, and only 1 letter, in a pop-star’s/band’s name to make a different one. For example: The Polite – Don’t stand so … Continue reading
Budget Travel to close down
So that most famous of Irish institutions, Budget Travel, is to close down. I can hear the jingle now: Budget Travel goes better places, better prices too. Dirty Dave used to use the Budget Travel brochure for his wanking material … Continue reading
I would not go to Newry
So the radio yesterday was full of people telling us how Newry was full up. And full up with those sneaky public sector workers who had the day off, without pay remember, to go and spend the no money they … Continue reading
Crime spreeeeeeeeee
So it’s strike day. I read in the paper that Gardai in rural areas are turning off their mobiles so as not to help their colleagues or people or anyone else. They’re going to sit on their holes doing nothing … Continue reading
So it’s strike day. I read in the paper that Gardai in rural areas are turning off their mobiles so as not to help their colleagues or people or anyone else. They’re going to sit on their holes doing nothing [insert obvious joke in here].
Strikes me it’s the perfect day for organised criminal gangs to carry out a bit of the old illegal felonious yardbird stuff they like to carry out. Response times? Pfff, don’t make me laugh.
It might also be a good day to take out David McSavage. In the interests of public comment I watched the second half of his ‘Savage Eye’ show last night.
It is, without question, the unfunniest thing that has ever been broadcast on TV anywhere in the world. And I include Arab TV where they show live HD beheadings of screaming westerners.
Saying the word ‘Queer’ in a thick bogger accent is not funny. Riverdance sketches? Brilliant. Why had nobody thought of that before? The lads at Langerland would want to have a look at it as well. It struck me some of the stuff was just ripped off from their cartoons. There were ‘jokes’ about paedophile priests and as my arch-competitor in the old Entertainment Ireland awards blog vote thingy Maman Poulet pointed out, they come in the week when the Dublin Diocesan report is to be published, heaping more shame upon the Church and no doubt causing further anguish to the victims.
He tried surreal, we got shite. And I don’t mean any old kind of shite. I mean the kind of shite that it riddled with worms and clumps of unidentifiable body tissue. It was far, far worse than I had imagined.
And we paid for it with our licence fee money. Whoever commissioned this abomination ought to be fired. Whoever viewed this prior to broadcast and allowed it to be spewed onto national television ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves them horsewhipped. And there are another 5 episodes to. If RTE had any stones it would cancel it immediately and replace it with half an hour of the test card or simply a high pitched tone. It would have more merit as a piece of entertainment than the muck McSavage has foisted upon an already distressed nation.
If the public sector workers went on strike to protest about this TV show then they would have unanimous support from the whole country. He makes the cunt who invented those Spar ads with Louis Walsh and Bertie Ahern look like the greatest comedy genius that ever lived.
If the Gardai can find the time to stitch up innocent Donegal publicans then the fact they haven’t done a thing to McSavage, who is guilty of so much, is an absolute shame on them.
Put it right, coppers. What else have you got to do today?
