i got to testify, she come up in the spot looking extra fly February 3rd, 2010
I found this image on the world wide web - and yes that does make me a plagiarising thief, illegally in possession of somebody else’s masterpiece. So if PC Mac got hold of me he could probably send me down for theft, handling stolen goods, taking without consent, as well as all types of IP violations. Which would mean he’d probably shut down Capicú and in some countries chop off my fingers. This may seem a high risk to take just to post a photo of a hot girl eating a donner kebab. But there is something strangely alluring about this shot - a credit to whoever took it. Albeit obviously staged, the juxtaposition of fine female form with the faveleiro of fast food is beautiful. I could continue to try to explain the reasons why, but it doesn’t seem necessary. The photograph speaks for itself…

blame it on the goose, got you feeling loose / blame it on patrón, got you in the zone July 9th, 2009

So it’s way too late to post Jamie Foxx’s original Blame It alone… but then along came this parody version from Alphacat [below]. Ok it’s riddled with Americanisms and by the end you’ll probably be as bored as I was, but setting those two facts aside it might just put a smile on your face. For a bit…

This campaign for The Zimbabwean newspaper actually worked out cheaper to print on bank notes than ordinary paper, due to hyper-inflation [symbolised by the introduction of the Z$10 trillion note, worth less than a loaf of bread]. The message is clear, and the execution effective - and the campaign was created in reaction not only to Mugabe’s crippling economic policy, but also his decision to introduce an import luxury duty of 55percent on the newspaper, making it unaffordable to most Zimbabweans. Not content with resisting Mugabe from within Zimbabwe [see campaign], they have also managed to overcome his duty by selling copies of the paper in England and South Africa. Available from most London newsagents…

you cannot spend your way out of recession, or borrow your way out of debt March 30th, 2009
Whether you’re a communist or capitalist, there is no denying that this damning speech is both poignant and powerful. Daniel Hannen’s powers of oratory are clearly marked in this memorable direction at our PM, and I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ll see from him. And if what he says is true - specifically that every child born today effectively is born into £20k of debt - maybe we should listen…
