Except for that one on the right.
Polly don’t play that.

Spotted at my local IKEA in Costa Mesa, California. Such a relief to know I could go pick up a bit of Ingatorp and not worry about having me head blown off..
There once was an old Argentine,
Who did magic with bread and with wine,
So under a dome,
Some cardinals in Rome,
Gave him the keys to their shrine.

Redemption for last night’s VatirickGate?

There once was an Argentine fella
Was pals with dictator Videla
He turned a deaf ear
Made priests disappear
And now bears the flag white and yella

GCN.
The only magazine in the village.

We’re celebrating our 25th Anniversary this month at Gay CommunityNews and we’ve created a short documentary looking back on a quarter of a century of being the voice of the queer nation. We’d love if you could share this on your website, we think people might be interested in seeing it. It was still illegal to be gay when GCN first went to press, so it’s a bit amazing looking at how far Ireland has come in this time.
Fair gay though, in fairness.

A series of experiments by Brusspup showing the effect of a loud 24Hz sine wave on streams of water, with the camera frame rate adjusted to match the vibration of the air. Brusspup adds:
If you want the water to look like it’s moving backward set the frequency to 23hz. If you want to look like it’s moving forward in slow motion set it to 25hz.

What you may need to know:
1. The first Kick-Ass (2010), well, it kicked ass. So here’s another one, based again on comics by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The sub-title? Balls To The Wall.
2. Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughan got snapped up to do another fine superhero flick, X-Men: First Class (2011). This time out, he’s producing.
3. Replacing Nic Cage in the scene-chewing supporting role: Jim Carrey, who, between this and Burt Wonderstone (2013), looks like he gives a shit for the first time in ages. Now can we finally have that Dumb And Dumber (1994) sequel?
4. Aaron Taylor-Johnson-Wood, who plays Kick-Ass, has been putting in some gym time. He also just landed the lead in the Godzilla reboot.
5. Broadsheet Prognosis: Dodgy green screen work aside, this looks like a TON of fun.
Release Date: August
It’s OK.
It’s only about selling all our trees to Bertie.
