Our weekly look at crap things that have happened on the internet.

SEAN YOUNG TRIED (AND FAILED) TO CONVINCE US OF HER SANITY

Sean Young is (was?) an actress, and is probably in some stuff you've seen. Look her up on IMDB if you care. Her career pretty much ended after a series of crazy incidents in the 90s, the most notorious of which involved her sneaking onto the Warner Bros lot in a homemade Catwoman costume, and attempting to confront Tim Burton and explain to him why she should be cast as Catwoman. She did not get the part.

Annons

Anyway, she appeared on Letterman the other day and showed a video of her "new part time job". I'm not entirely sure why she did it, or exactly what she thought it would mean/ achieve. I guess she was trying to show that she can laugh at herself? I have no idea. All I know is I'm glad she did. Thanks, Sean!

THE GUY FROM GREEN DAY SAID SOMETHING EDGY

Middle-aged multi-millionaire/ anti-capitalism activist Billie Joe Armstrong made the above comment at a show in Lima last year and, for obvious reasons, it's been getting quite a bit of attention in the last week. Though the full clip has since been taken down, Billie went on to say that "technology is ruining everything!", adding that technology was also "destroying civilisation!" All technology excluding electric guitars, microphones, botox filler and hair-plugs, presumably. NOT MY PRESIDENT, oh wait, that was the other guys.

SOMEBODY FINALLY GREW THE BALLS TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST MANUFACTURED POP

From the video's description:

"The UK's very own antidote to the blank eyed dolls that X Factor churns out on a weekly basis. "For too long have the UK's airwaves been polluted by a steady stream of X Factor inspired idols. For too long has a shadowy figure been standing in the alcoves, waiting for her chance to pounce on the X Factor's shadowy kingpin. Now is the time for her to take centre stage. "Enter Madame Allsorts. Simon Cowell won't know what's hit him."

Poor Simon Cowell, he doesn't stand a chance. Why does she pronounce "cock" but shy away from "shit"?

Also, she has a "manifesto" on her website. You can read it here, but be warned; DO NOT look at it if you can't handle some SERIOUS TRUTHS (and also if you can't handle literally dying from second hand embarassment.)

SOME PEOPLE TRIED TO REINVENT HALLOWEEN

A group of Christians are trying to replace Hallowe'en with a brand new holiday called Jesus Ween. Not sure if you can wrap your head around that extremely clever pun, but it's a play on the words "Jesus" and "Halloween". Have fun cleaning all of the eggs and defaced Bibles off your lawn on November 1st, guys!
