An excerpt from upcoming documentary The Queen Of Ireland, directed by Conor Horgan, who writes:
As the referendum approaches, we are busy shooting the final parts of ‘The Queen of Ireland’. The film is about Rory O’Niell and his journey from the small town of Ballinrobe [Co Mayo] to being a “national fucking treasure”.
We shot a series of in-depth interviews with Rory last Friday, and when I asked him how he’d feel if the referendum wasn’t carried, his answer was so personal and well said that we decided to release a clip from it before the vote on May 22nd. Vote yes!
(Thanks Conor Horgan)
The folk at the Institute say,
That even if you are not gay,
You might set a date,
To wed your best mate,
So vote No or you will go astray.

The Island of Nauru in the Central Pacific
A spokeswoman for Facebook said: “We believe that restricting access to a free and open internet deprives people of important economic and social opportunities and choices, and hope that access will be restored soon.”
Opposition members of the Nauruan parliament have expressed concern about the censorship in Nauru.
The former president, Sprent Dabwido, said the block was imposed due to “paranoia” about independent media scrutiny on the island nation.
The Facebook ban was directed by the Nauruan government, but was imposed by the nation’s internet provider, Digicel. It came shortly after the general manager’s visa was cancelled and she was replaced by another Digicel staff member.
Ah.

I got bored so compiled every Michael Jackson grunt/yell/scream in one video.
Fair enough.
