What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?



1) Click here to see live bunnies.

2) The Exorcist (as re-enacted by bunnies.)

3) Help a bear collect bunnies in his backpack.

4) Bunny Suicides

5) ****Coming later**** That song from Buffy about bunnies.

6) What's up Doc? Watch some classic Bugs Bunny

7) Curse and scream continually as you fail to
trace the outline of a bunny with your mouse.

8) Giant pink Italian bunny on a mountain. What were they thinking?

9) What happens if you fire a laser at a Marshmallow bunny?

10) Babies making babies making babies at Bunny love. Not safe for work, if your work has a policy about not looking at pictures of shagging bunnies.

11) Shoot things to shreds in Gunny Bunny.

That completes the Bunny News for today.

Nat's the ticket

We've always believed that concerts are better when the performer is enjoying themselves. It's hardly a mind-blowing observation, but you'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes.

Tonight, for example, Natalie Imbruglia set the stage on fire (not literally) with a joyous enthusiasm in London's Shepherd's Bush. Clearly in her element, the face of L'oreal was bounding around like a bobcat, play-acting lyrics, flirting with the audience and posing for cameras.

And, boy, were there a lot of cameras. We're starting to think they should be banned, along with mobile phones, from any concert venue. Several times, our view was obscured by some amateur photographer trying to capture the moment - without a flash - and tutting as they got a useless, blurred image. Before trying again, like Sisyphus in the seventh circle of gadget hell.

One guy stood next to us who basically watched the entire show via the 2" LCD screen on the back of his Canon Powershot. We felt like shaking him and screaming "What are you doing? She's right in front of you!"

The only thing outnumbering the idiots with cameras tonight was testosterone. We have never seen so many men ogling the stage with a sense of undying devotion. And we've been at a Madonna concert.

But we're better than all of them. For Natalie looked right at us, wiggled her eyebrows and sang "drown our souls in sensory pleasure." Well, it could have been the tall bloke behind us, but we prefer to think otherwise.

Oh, and there was a superb acoustic section where Imbruglia performed a song called "I've Been Watching You". Any idea where we can get it?

  • Nice hat

  • Whose cute baby photo is this?

    Hint. She recently said of her ex-husband:
    "he does have a sensitivity chip missing."

    Find the answer (and the original photo) at Celebrity Smack.

  • We have no idea what the football-loving public made of this, but we loved hearing Mark E. Smith reading the football results on BBC1 last weekend. Mogblog has the video.

  • Pete Waterman reveals his Top 5 Records. It's not quite what you'd expect - Beatles, Bowie and Wagner. Although it's not like he's put Slayer or Megadeth on there, or anything.

  • TAKE THAT TO TOUR???!!!!. Proving that all the best news is
    (a) Nostalgic, and
    (b) Alliterative.

  • We finally managed to find the Madonna album unmixed. And, frankly, it is better for it. Download it using bittorrent from Seedler.org

    Supermodel go bang

    Kate Moss dances around, naked, then falls over. (link fixed 24/11/05)

    Not safe for work, obviously.

    Land of the future

  • Remember when we were kids? And how everyone said there'd definitely be jetpacks and holidays on the moon by the year 2000?

    What a pack of lying bastards.

    We're still hoping, at the very least, for Willy Wonka's chewing gum with a whole meal in it. But until then, we’ll have to settle for one of the other (less exciting) things we were promised: Electronic paper! Whatever next?

  • Can your dad beat my dad in a fight? Google says he can

  • Did you know: Nena's classic anti-war song '99 Luftballons' wasn't directly translated from German to English? Luckily, retro-website In the 80's offers a side-by-side comparison of the two lyrics. Sadly, this is one battle where England loses:

    Our version says:
    "Hurry, hurry, super-scurry / Call the troops out in a hurry / This is what we've waited for / This is it boys, this is war"

    The Germans got the vastly superior:
    "There were great fireworks / The neighbors didn't understand anything / And felt immediately felt pissed off"

  • The Cardigan's Peter Svensson talks about how the band had to split up to recover from the success of Gran Turismo in an interview with the Bangkok Post.

  • Troubled over what to get your loved one for Christmas? Well, trouble no more, for EMI have dutifully set up a website to advise you - via a short questionnaire - about what to buy.

    It's called giftomatic, and it reccomends we furnish mrsdiscopop with a Union Jack T-shirt and Atomic Kitten's Greatest Hits on Christmas Day.

    Presumably EMI will cover the legal fees for the resulting divorce?

  • Whatever you may think of the Xbox 360's games (apparently, guns are quite popular), you've got to admire the design. Which, according to Xbox 360 designer, Jonathon Hayes, was inspired by Picasso and Constantin Brancusi (oooh, fancy!). Sony have responded by remodelling the Playstation 3 to look like the Venus De Milo.

    Here's the sculpture the Xbox 360 is based on:


  • Justin Hawkins reveals the secret to writing a hit single:

    "[One Way Ticket To Hell and Back] is piano-led and the piano you listen to is the same one that was played on Bohemian Rhapsody by Freddie. I play all the synthesisers and it's got my favourite guitar solo. And it's got a really good knob joke in the first verse!".

    The Darkness limped into this week's charts at number nine.
