David Thorne is an absolute cock smoker, and a serial pest. I've never understood why people find him funny, when in reality he is a complete jerk and smart ass. I had secretly been waiting for someone to beat the living piss out of him for being such a snide, smug, snivelling cock head, but I'll settle for prosecution under the law

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:15 pm

Wow I thought everyone else loved David Thorne!

Funny concepts which are ruined by him going too far with everything.

the spider was funny but they just got lamer and lamer after that.

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:20 pm

I personally never even found the spider funny. I reckon he's a complete loser.

Post by **JAMESSSS** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:23 pm

I think lots of the ideas are funny, but then he writes stuff like this:

While not exactly a police officer, when I was about eight I desperately wanted to be Tom Selleck from Magnum PI. I painted my Standish Selecta-12 bright red and constructed a moustache by clipping a large amount of hair from the neighbour's cat and gluing it to my upper lip. This is how I discovered my allergy to cat hair. Dragged to my neighbour's house, my apology through lips the size of bananas came out as "Imsryfrctnheroffyrcat iwntdtobemgnumpi." I also wanted to be frozen and thawed out in the 25th century due to Wilma Deering's jumpsuit but despite emptying the refrigerator and sitting in it for over an hour, the only result was mild hypothermia and a belting.

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:23 pm

I found his angle amusing but the delivery was more akin to some one trying to repaeat a joke they heard at the pub.
We need more people who challenge shit though, props to him for that, points off for being annoying.

So Obama got his health reform - but sid you read how? To get those last 6 votes he did a deal with the anti abortion mob, yup that's right. The lady amendment to the health reform bill was NO MORE governmet funded abortions. That means if you get pregnant and you are unable to pay for an abortion you will be left with little choice but to have your baby. Despite f ou are fit to have it, or I a position to care for it adaquately - if you can't afford to pay fr an abortion, for whatever reason, how the fuk you gonna pay to look after a baby?

Great, better health for 32 million Americans, seriously nice stuff- but at what cost?

Highlights some real flaws in the system of government and the negotions that take place in these bills.

Post by **fooishbar** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 7:28 pm

yeah, it's been seriously weakened, especially by removing the public option (sigh). still, it's a huge improvement, and hopefully a stepping stone to something that isn't a complete joke.

Funny how women lose out every fucking time. Mad

Back to gin and a hot bath, or backyard coathanger abortions. But that's ok, coz parents can keep their kids on their health plan until they're TWENTY fucking SIX!!

Don't get me wrong, im not saying low socio economic mofos shouldt breed but it seems totally irrational to have to give these pro lifers this concession in order to get such a major concept into play. And to leave people without the means to have access to obortions yet leave it open to people with cash is just out of control.

And yes - black market home jobs are all the rage in caravan centra again circa 2015.
