Those of you who bother to follow what's happening with the magazine will, I assume, be enduring some sort of cyberwaste cold-turkey as we missed last week and we're now at the end of this week. I can only apologise and blame James, who told me to wait til Monday before I posted it. Monday turned into Tuesday, Tuesday to Wednesday, Wednesday into Thursday and now here I am writing you this special bumper edition* with two hours to go before Friday.

(* DISCLAIMER: There's actually nothing special or bumper about it.)

So, without further ado:

Let's Kick Things off Gently

..with a low-budget, high-octane exploding hamster that may or may not be real. (It's not real).

If you read the article from a few months ago about the Suicide Machine, then you'll know my thoughts on Facebook. Needless to say, unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have noticed the problem of people joining "group that specifies an action most people probably thought they were alone in doing but have now been proved otherwise" is getting exponentially worse. If your homepage hasn't yet been inundated with such-and-such-a-body joining "I hate getting up in the morning", "When I say I love you I actually mean it", and "I smell my fingers after fiddling with my arse in public" then think yourself lucky, because each visit to Facebook for me brings with it a constantly-updated insight into the bizarre habits of my friends.

Every so often though, a group comes along that hits home slightly more than the others. "Can this shit insect get more fans than Nick Griffin" was one, and my most recent find "Sitting forward when losing on FIFA and saying "I'm going to start playing now"" is another. Some things just suit you to a tee, y'know?

Aaaand....

This would also be a good time to throw you a link to Failbook, a collection of people saying stupid things on "everyones" "favourite" social network.

Will it Blend?

This is getting on a bit now, but during its glory days it was a pretty highly-ranked viral campaign. The idea is simple: take object, insert into blender, blend, observe results. Advertising doesn't come much better than this.

"Ahhhhhhhh"

Imagine Peter Griffin curled in a heap on the floor, clutching his leg and rocking back and forward. Then look at this.

The Luckiest Nut In The World

That's quite enough comedy links in a row for you, I think. Time for some healthy info-tainment, in the form of a video about a peanut. It starts off pretty slow but if you give even half a damn about the exploitation of workers in foreign countries then this is something you need to see.

Slightly too much time to spare?

If you ever find yourself with a shit load of plastic tubes, bottles, etc and more time than you know how to spend, here's a little idea you could try:

Auto-Bullshit

There's this guy called Jimmy Kimmel, he has a little chat show in America. He likes T-Pain, apparently.

Gratuitous Video of the Week

This time, it's some crazy fuckers flinging themselves over hills on elongated scooters.

And finally...

The town where I live has a high ratio of knobheads to "civilised members of society" (that's a bit of a stretch, but you know what I mean). As such, the chances of meeting someone from anywhere else who is more interesting than the last person I spoke to at home is pretty high. Still, that's not really saying much as most of the residents where I live have all the personality of a damp rag (to paraphrase the ever so lovely Nigel Farage), but every so often a chance encounter leads to a hidden gem.

In this case, the guy on the train asking me what time the shops shut turned out to be a film maker. Here's somethin' to wet you up before you go and get rear-ended by the rest of his YouTube channel.
