A slickly executed New York and Paris side-by-side mashup directed by MATEL for Open Skies.
Gregory Campbell DUP Assembly Member and MP for East Derry attempted to ridicule the use of Irish in the Assembly today.
When invited to speak by principal deputy speaker Mitchel McLaughlin, Mr Campbell replied: “Curry my yoghurt can coca coalyer“.
Irish speakers in the Assembly when called to speak, routinely reply “Go raibh maith agat, Ceann Comhairle” which means “Thank you, speaker”.
Mr Campbell was accused of “pure ignorance” by Sinn Féin Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín.
Ná bac leis.
Tá sé jalfrezi.

I’m A Creepy Crawly is a companion game for a TV series called of the same name by Dublin based Monster Entertainment.
Paul Madden of Monster Entertainment is looking for YOUR help:
Its free so hopefully a good few people will give the game a go and give us a bit of feedback – what does and doesn’t work – that we could use to improve gameplay in future games.
A veritable clarion call for Broadsheet commenting game players to weigh in.

Radió na Life presenter Laura Gaynor writes:
“Following a debate on Twitter I have decided to turn an important question into a vlog. I’d like to be the first Dublin radio presenter in 2014 to play Christmas music, however, I’d like to know: when is it acceptable to play Christmas music on the radio? Would love if you’d check out the video and let me know what you think…”

Some Web Summit coverage in today’s irish Independent
DJ writes
“I have been noticing the abnormal amount of coverage the Web Summit is getting across all Denis O’Brien-owned media platforms. It’s almost like he’s behind the whole event. He isn’t is he? Is HE? No? Is HE? NO? NOOOOOOOO? Is HE? He isn’t?
Bitter begrudging keyboard whatsit or cogent observer of Irish flotsam?

What you may need to know:
1. After killing Owen Shaw on the worlds longest airstrip, Dom and the gang are able to return to the United States. However Shaw’s older brother is seeking revenge, putting the entire crew in danger once more.
2. Universal have also released 7 seconds of stunts and 7 seconds of grunts for your enjoyment.
3. This is the first film in the franchise to take place after the aberration that was Tokyo Drift (2006). Some things are best left in the past.
4. After the death of Paul Walker in a car accident, his two brothers Caleb and Cody acted as body doubles for some scenes.
5. Brian O’Connor is meant to be retired rather then killed off which is nice.
6. James Wan of Billy the Puppet and Saw (2004) fame steps into his second franchise and directs.
