Deadly serious

Zimbabwe has collapsed - the official inflation rate is over 2 million per cent, hundreds have died in political violence, a month's salary won't even buy one meal, the country has no leadership after the single candidate 'election' so what counts as news for The Herald ( the government's propoganda paper)?  Why the government's battle against a plague of red locusts of course! 

For those of you fortunate enough never to have read a government mouthpiece, it's certainly a laugh, even if only for the surreal, head-in-the-sand approach.

Justice for the common people

Love 'em or loathe 'em, celebrities form the background to our lives, taunting us with their perfect bodies and shiny, shiny hair and their impossibly complicated love lives.

Now ladies and gentlemen, courtesy of Photoshop and some creativity, a form of justice can be metered out...

Imagine, if you will, Elizabeth Hurley after a few months in front of the television, eating Doritos...


Less glamorous, international jet-setter and more secretary at the annual office Christmas party.

Mr. Jolie - Brad Pitt, actor and all round hunk becomes Dave, plumber from Essex and white van driver...


There!  Feel better now?
