  • 10 Reasons You Need To Be Watching Mr. Robot

    Basically you need to watch Mr. Robot

    1) Rami Malek

    Never have tired eyes looks so beautiful. He’s got the kind of eyes that draw you in and keep you locked in. Rami plays the main character Elliot Alderson.

     

    2) 2nd Season

    Apparently Mr Robot has been picked up already for a 2nd season and we can’t wait.

     

    3) That Logo

    The colour. The font. It’s wonderfully low grade.

     

    4) Gay sex, straight sex and sexy sex

    Blink and you might miss it, but there’s a proper gay sex scene including, worryingly a good old butt towel wipe… Martin Wallström who plays Tyrell Wellick is sexy and cold.

     

    5) It has the stupidest name the baddie company.

    There’s no mistaking that “EVIL CORP” is almost Google/Apple/Large Banking company plus extras… Except actually evil and it looks like they nicked the logo from Enron.

     

    6) It will make you completely paranoid

    Ever since watching it we’ve covered up our laptop’s camera and are completely certain that every phone call we’re making is being monitored by GCHQ.

     

    7) The time is now. The time is anonymous.

    Hacking is cool you know. It’s even got a TV show now.

     

    8) It’s lonely

    Rami’s character’s loneliness almost makes you want to be a recluse. So much time for your own thoughts rather than filling it with cat gifs on Facebook.

     

    9) It might just have the most boring coming out ever…

    via GIPHY

    In the first episode Elliot’s boss comes out. No balloons. No cheers. Not even bunting. Blah.

     

    10) The episode names are like file names…

    Yep. Brilliant.

     

     

  • Amazon Removes “Lady Boy” Costume After Complaints About Transphobia

    Online retailing giant Amazon has removed a “Lady Boy” costume after a backlash over its offensiveness.

    A costume being sold on the Amazon store, which featured a man wearing a dress and wig with a fake penis poking out the front has been removed after reviews called the costume “repugnant” and numerous customers took offence.
    The dress, by Orion Costumes, was described as,

    A short sequin dress in silver with spaghetti straps. The back of the dress features a half elasticated waistline to create a tailored appearance when wearing.

    At the front of the dress are fabric male genitalia in a light skin tone colour hidden behind a fabric flap which fastens in place with velcro. The flap can be lifted to reveal yourself, or left down to protect your modesty.

    Within 30 minutes of the store being contacted by GayStarNews the costume had been removed.

    The costume follows a similiar line of the disgraced halloween costume which featured Caitlyn Jenner – however, when asked whether Jenner took offensive at the costume she said she was “in” on the joke.

    The costume had been for sale on Ebay but has since removed the product from its website.

  • Transparent Wins Big At The Emmys

    Transparent, the brand new Amazon comedy-drama has picked up two Emmys at yesterday’s award ceremony.

    The show’s star Jeffrey Tambor and its director won an Emmy each at yesterday’s ceremony for their roles in Amazon’s hit show Transparent, which follows the lives of a family after their father reveals that he is trans. Transparent also won best guest actor in a comedy for the former West Wing star Bradley Whitford.

    The Emmy win follows on from Jeffrey’s win at the Golden Globes in JanuaryIn his acceptance speech at the Emmys Tambor said,

    “I had a teacher who used to say, you know, ‘When you act, you have to act as if your life depends on it.’ And now I’ve been given the opportunity to act because people’s lives depend on it.

    “I’d like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your stories. Thank you for our inspiration. Thank you for letting us be part of the change. God bless.”

  • Amazon Links Anal Douche Products With Justin Bieber And Religious Bigots

    Sometimes, just sometimes we’re tickled pink by techie algorithms.

    We were looking around Amazon (as you do on a Friday afternoon) and for some reason we took a look at douches. Just because. No judgement okay…

    It wasn’t until we got to the familiar, “people-also-liked” section that we noticed that people who searched for the intimate washing device also searched for Justin Bieber and a very bigot looking book called: The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing The Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today, which was published in 2003.

    On the Enema Bulb Syringe page, the Amazon website exclaims: “Looking For “Douche” Products? Other customers suggested these items”, before displaying the book and a Justin Bieber album.

    Recently a pizza business in Indiana was awarded nearly $1million from Internet users after its owners stated that they wouldn’t serve gay customers, because of their religious beliefs.

    Well well, we couldn’t agree more with at least one of the suggestions…
