Superman vs The Elite is the latest DC animated movie and features a character called Manchester Black. In the grand tradition of not understanding UK swearwords, he manages to get Superman to say…well you’ll see.
Thanks Dermot!

Stolen tricolour [by Polish Ultras]: Sadly, there’s a ‘culture’ of this in parts of Europe. A few have been taken but this image surfaced on a football forum. Pity, as it’s a great flag.

My Brazilian tapir calf has no nose.
How does he smell?
Not bad, he’s a newborn
Kelley Cousins sez:
Dublin Zoo is celebrating the birth of a Brazilian tapir born early on Tuesday, 5th June. The male calf, born to mum Rio, and dad Marmaduke, is the pair’s first calf together.
Team leader Eddie O’Brien, said, “We are delighted with the birth of the tapir calf. Mum and calf are doing very well and we are really happy with how well Rio is doing as a first time mum. The calf was up and about quickly after he was born, he is really inquisitive!”

The Obama heckler from Friday.
Irish and well…

Causing a bit of hoo-ha Stateside – a journalist from the conservative “Daily Caller” interrupts the President during his speech on ending the deportation of over a million undocumented youth. Ironically the journalist who interrupted and asked if the policy favoured “foreigners over Americans” is an Irishman and UCD alumunus Neil Munro.
Were you in UCD in the mid-90s?
Perhaps Neil heckled you too.
Leave details below
Meanwhile, Neil Munro interviewed by Sean Hannity on Fox News last night:

You may recall yesterday’s post about certain press coverage in New Zealand of trouble at the Ireland/All Blacks game.

The story has now gone national in NZ. They still have not addressed the real issue of stereotyping and shoddy journalism which we highlighted on Monday. The Irish Champion (above and link below) has the real story.

Anonymous Madrid-based art group LuzInterruptus draws public attention to social and environmental issues in the city (decommissioned public swimming pools, nuclear power, shrinking green space, abandoned sites, etc) by creating ‘light interventions’ (not to be confused with ‘heavy interventions’) – temporary LED installations. They say:
We began to act on the streets of Madrid at the end of 2008 with had the simple idea of focusing people´s attention by using light on problems that we found in the city and that seem to go unnoticed to the authorities and citizens. But everything that we do does not have a subversive aim. Sometimes we simply want to embellish, or to highlight anonymous places or corners that seem special or objects to which we think extraordinary artistic value, although they have been left on the streets for unknown reasons, with artistic intention, by anonymous people.
