Have sex with Louis Vuitton...literally

Source & Images: The Telegraph

Would you pay $68 for a piece of designer rubber?


Renowned fashion house and malletier Louis Vuiton has decided to offer the world designer sex by retailing LV condoms as a jaw dropping price of £43. What better way to ensure safe fashionable coitus than by indulging in a monogram LV condom. Wonder if LV will offer compensation for faulty condoms which result in pregnancies...
PS: Of course this is all a spoof.

An avalanche of lost titles.

What a torrid week it has been for some of the country's lionised figures who came crashing down like an out of controlled car steered by a dipsomaniac. Loathsome public figures who have come to represent the core nucleus of  our broken society suffered public humiliation as they were stripped off titles, forced to give up immoral bonuses and resign from notable positions.

Hester got heckled
First in line is current RBS Chief executive Stephen Hester,heckled and pecked by politicians not to accept his almost £1million bonus from a bank which is 83pc funded by you and I...the tax payers. Most of the country where aghast at such an unethical sum of bonus for a banker saved by tax payers except  for our honourable PM David Cameroon, who refused to be drawn into the matter and nodded his way throughout the scandal. In the end, Hester didn't hesitate to unwillingly turn down the obscene £1million bonus amidst national outcry.

Off with his Knighthood!
Then Goodwin suffered a "badlost" as he was stripped off his knighthood by the Queen. Fred the Shred as he was fondly known, had descended from his much coveted role as former RBS Chief Executive to represent the anus of banking. Despite his disastrous reign as RBS boss which plunged the bank into debts having to be rescued by the tax payers in the end and resulting in his job loss, Goodwin still enjoyed close  ties with royalty and was serving as a financial trustee to Her Majesty...until last Tuesday that is.




Huhne resigns to conserve all energy needed to fight
"Hell hath no fury like a betrayed wife's scorn"
Image:Daily Mirror

The former wife of the now ex energy secretary Chris Huhne delivered a potential fatal career blow during allegations made in 2010, she had taken penalty points in place of her then husband back in 2003. Of course we would never have known of this if Huhne hadn't cheated on his wife of 26years with a former lesbian...his then assistant and current partner Carina Trimingham. Huhne is determined to clear his name after being charged by the CPS for perverting course of justice. The pair will face each other in court on the 16th February.

Ed Miliband is NOT an Ugly Duckling

The Ugly Duckling? Not Ed Miliband
John Humphrys' grilling of Miliband couldn't have made him sound any more nasal. The almost 20minute BBC Radio4 interview this week was as excruciating as having teeth pulled out without local anaesthetic. Ed Miliband never fails to deliver flaccid performances. He is as bland as imported weak tea, unconvincing as an Eskimo at home in sub Saharan Africa and frankly just devoid of any charisma or aura usually accustomed with most leaders. To think of him as a possible Prime Minister is well...nasally irritating.


  "Wozza was caught stealing cheese from Tesco. He should have done it more Caerphilly." (Source:Telegraph)
 With the new year came the ousting of a celebrity chef thief: Anthony Worral Thompson. His excellent culinary skills have been extended far beyond the kitchen to that of a connoisseur of fine theft. So adept had he become at his new trade he was pictured stealing five times from supermarket giant Tesco. Items included wine, cheese, onions and coleslaw. He was Ready, Stealing and Caught by staff and lucky to receive just a slap on the wrist from police. Whatever happened to Cameron's tougher sentences on criminals?


Michelle Obama is not an Angry Black Woman

Oh Michelle my belle! I guess the words angry black woman sont des mots qui ne vont pas très bien ensemble. This week saw the First Lady give an interview distancing herself from pictures the world is so desperate to paint of any successful black woman; Angry. I wish Michelle had destroyed gossip by ignoring it. She is currently First Lady of the descendants of slave masters so really who is the angry one? I wonder.

Blue blooded Blue Ivy Carter(like literally) makes her entrance.
A not so green Ivy made her much awaited entrance into the world this week amidst international media frenzy. The less than one week old tot has already made history  by becoming the youngest 'un to ever appear on the Billboards after Hov featured her cries in the background to his song release "Glory"; which celebrated her birth. Welcome  Baby Blue and hopefully you will never feel the blues!.

The Diane Abbott walk

As previously reported, I am on a travel break hence the abatement in posts. However I took a moment to serve this e- dish for the palatable delight of ardent readers who have been following up the Diane Abbott racist scandal. Here is a video from Sky News showing Di looking rather uncomfortable as she is confronted by an obnoxious journalist. The Shadow Health Minister later does the unfathomable: walks away from a live interview to answer a phone call....and never returns. Watch Diane show us how to do the Abbott walk when faced with awkward questions.
Meanwhile Ed Meanwhile Miliband appeared to retaliate to the Abbott's controversial remarks by tweeting his condolences to Bob Holness, founder of Blackbusters.


Of course he meant to type Blockbusters...it must be difficult being a politician as most times they are saying one thing and then doing or meaning the exact opposite. Appearance vs reality or in this instance inner thoughts vs public thoughts have never been more opposite.

40 year old Nigerian claims age as 15 to UKBA for immigration purposes

Most will have seen this video of a fully grown Nigerian man with all the physiological tell tale signs of a 40 year old plus with adult hair sprouting out from every angle of his manly body, claiming to be a 15year old on the run from death threats in his home country of Nigeria. The "15 year old" man-boy known as Benson told the incredulous story after having  being ousted by UKBA officials for travelling with fake documents. The adult-child cooked up a fine tale of being on the run from relatives who wish to have his head on banana leaf served with jollof rice and  moi-moi after having stolen money from his deceased parents'. The story gets more bizarre after Benson firmly declares his age as 15 and with the help of a certain Uncle London,  had managed to escape the deadly clutch of his family with a bogus passport and documents. To further highlight his imminent danger if deported, Benson goes down on his knees pleading not to be sent back to Nigeria as he fears for his safety and tender age. He enacted a perfectly distressed  pseudo scene so postiche even a blind person could see through it's fakery.
Whilst it made for comic TV; the reality is this doofus has pretty much soiled the route of other credible asylum seekers or refugees who face real threats in their homeland. To rub further salt in the wound- after going AWOL from immigration forces, he was pictured on Facebook goofing around in his London surroundings with a flat screen TV,CK briefs, and cooking a large pot of rice and no doubt ogbono soup in his kitchen.

Abused and degraded for having an Afro

In a world of continuous Halloween Freak Comedy Shows as perpetuated by women wearing an inexhaustible list of 30 inches fake Brazilian, Venezuelan, Bolivian,Cambodian, etc hair; heavily painted eyebrows about 5cm thick starting from the nasion to the temporal bone sharper than the M4 exit southbound towards Gatwick; caterpillar-like glued on fake eyelashes which at first glance literally look like a row of hairy hunchback caterpillars mating; not forgetting caked foundation faces like an incomplete lowly paid circus clown, being natural and sporting an Afro is a crime. 

African Fashion Journalist of acclaimed African Fashion site Shadders was this week subjected to ridicule and taunts for walking about in her Afro. She was approached by a seller of Brazilian, Peruvian and Cambodian hair who wasted no time in admonishing her for walking about looking so ancient. You will be forgiven for thinking the bestower of such richly packed racist sentiments is a member of the notorious EDL or a crystallised by-product of the BNP . Alack! t'were non of them! 
In a heavily punctuated  Nigerian accent, the  African woman  attacked Shadders  as a “beautiful girl like you should not walk around with an Afro hair as it makes you look very ethnic”
The thing is black people are their own worst enemy. Dim wits slowly pan fried over a blazing heat of foolishness and stupidity. Read about Shadders blackrism (racist treatment from a fellow black to another) here

 "Old news" from 2010 but nevertheless we thought this might make for interesting knowledge.
Facts:

  • The trade in humans was first started by Arab traders as far back as the 9th century lasting over 1,000 years.
  • Reports have circulated of black slaves in Iraq as recent as 2008.

Decision to be made by CPS wether or not to prosecute English Captain Terry, over alleged racist abuse

Source:BBC

Is calling a blackman "black" racist? Read here

The racism row between Terry and Ferdinand has been notched up to another level, as the CPS have now received a file purporting to the incident. The file was handed over on Wednesday by Scotland Yard for the CPS to investigate if there is enough evidence to prosecute Terry.
The wanton English football Captain has already been interviewed by police under caution. He released a statement saying he was "saddened that people will think so" of him.
Er...Terry mate; we are also in utter disbelief that the public can think so lowly of you; especially after the glitzy headlines you have been embroiled with in the past. Terry-fying innit!!

Women with no children have no responsibility and no right to complain...(Apparently)

So this week saw me being pilloried by a friend for daring to have a squeaky moan about "life" since as a woman with no children, there is absolutely nothing for me to groan about. "Why are you whinging when you have no responsibility!" she barked out loud in response to my text sent a few hours before; after a rather gruelling day at work where I had been the honourable recipient of the office bully's snide remarks. Feeling irrepressibly low and dejected, the text sent had a renouncing theme of: "I am simply fed up".
I waited patiently for a reassuring response brimming with obligatory positive quotes such as "Don't worry. You are stronger than you think" or "Ignore the bully and speak to your union" , etc type replies were far fetched it seems.The candy quoted vitriol I received in response was shocking to say the least. For a fleeting moment the work place bully's scathing remarks seemed welcoming.

My friend bellowed from the mountain top about my perfect life with no bills and responsibilities(I had recently moved in with family to help my sick parents. Daddy is recovering from a stroke while I drive Mama to her many hospital appointments on my days off work.). The six page text compared my "free" life as a nullipara to hers as a single mother juggling work, childcare, and other family issues. "Put yourself in my shoes and you will be thankful for your life with  no-one to look after. You have no bills and don't pay rents. I am sure if you scale back on your high standard of life you will do well"; were some of the wise words of advice I got. I tried to remember the last time I went shopping in keeping up with my "high standard of life" and had no recollection as it had been so long...oh wait a second; actually it was January this year when I decided to shop online at House of Fraser. It was kind of like the After Sales Sales shopping were only size 16 dresses and size 3 shoes were left. I turned to look at my straggly mane in the mirror courtesy of some poor Brazilian woman and thanks to my sister who had bought and posted this as a belated birthday gift. It was now two months overdue with my natural curly black  Afro hair roots quite discernible at the temple creating a stark contrast to the long silky extensions.

The phone rings and I instantly recognise the number as T-Mobile Customer services who have been hounding me for a mere £17.61 outstanding phone bill from the last billing cycle just two weeks ago. I promptly ignore their calls which works out to be about two every 60minutes starting from 9.30am to 8pm. As I finished reading the text, I trip over a red briefcase next to the kitchen table overflowing with letters from creditors. My memory is jolted once more to the outstanding tuition fees for my Masters course, credit card bills amassed during my London hey days as the belle of the town who couldn't be seen dead in the same outfit twice and most recently, the outstanding bills from my previous garden flat which I have to still pay off given that the obligatory 12months contracts with certain companies and peoples were not fulfilled as my tenancy was suddenly short lived due to family crises. Try telling that to terms and agreement of contracts drawn.

I proceeded to walk to the living room window still in disbelief at my friend's cruel response wondering how to reply that without provoking a fight. My gaze falls on the only evidence of my seemingly "high standard of Life"...my red Mercedes Benz car with it's equally matching plush red seats. She stood proud and beautiful in the driveway, glistening in the late Autumn sun as it caught on her polished bonnet. The day before I had almost been fleeced dry at the garage where she had had her customary service checks and MOT. For months now I had been contemplating selling her for a more Eco friendly car.
My phone goes off again...this time it's a reminder flashing on my screen "Rents and Family Kitty". I had to do a bank deposit for rents and contribute to the family's rainy day account.
I take out my phone and text " Sorry? I have responsibilities. They may not talk back at me but they are there. Never mind".
I make a mental note of never turning to that friend again for reassurance and decide to contact HR for their policy on work place bullying.

Police lies exposed as it is revealed Mark Duggan WAS NOT carrying a gun.

We all know better than to trust the inherent racist Metropolitan Police, who it appears get a hard on from gunning down defenceless black men in cold blood. The assassination of Duggan by the very people meant to protect us, sparked a four day summer riot in the capital. Throughout the riots we were steadfastly fed lies by The Met and IPCC of how Duggan was carrying a firearm which had been used to shoot a police officer; hence the retaliation by the police to kill Duggan in defense.

Today's issue in The Guardian  reveals what we all knew along; Duggan was not armed when he was fatally shot twice by police on the 4th August 2011. However, a gun which had earlier been in his possession was found about 10 to 14 feet away from his body, on the other side of a fence. It contained one bullet. At the time of print, Duggan's DNA is yet to be found on the weapon. A shoe box strongly suspected to have been used in carrying  the loaded firearm was found at the back of the hired taxi Duggan had been travelling in. His fingerprints were found on this shoe box. Video evidence indeed shows that Duggan may have acquired a gun on the day he was shot and killed.

While admitting Duggan may have been no saint from what we are fed by the media, it is frightening and disturbing to think that people at the helm of the law can shoot when they wrongly judge a situation, then lie about their actions and intent to the public, making the dead person(who of course cannot defend themselves) look like the baddie.

Being a black man in the UK is like walking on broken eggshells. The colour of your skin is already negative alone and a strong deterrent...condemned and guilty before judged. The solution is to thread carefully with great caution and despite all, remain positive.

The boy with an adult idea runs his company with the help of his mother and two older sibblings, after deciding to take his obsession with marbles a step further by embracing the versatility of e-commerce.


With orders trickling in from as far as America, Harli has no time for kiddies play and  instead busies himself with sourcing suppliers, stocking, packaging and posting his precious marbles to customers. His 51 year old Mother Tina, only gets involved with balancing the books.


With aspirations to becoming Britain's next Alan Sugar, the fiercely ambitious and career driven Harli has plans to one day own a chain of stores like Hamleys. With an equally strong work ethos, the youngster has been known to get his mother drive down to hand deliver packages if he fears any delay in delivery. Talk about customer satisfaction.


"I love marbles and I love having my own marbles company.I like being the boss, but I like to get others to do some of the work so that if something goes wrong it is not all my fault."

Celebrity Chef Lorraine Pascal Receives Racist Tweet

Source: Daily Mail


Celebrity TV Chef Lorraine Pascale  has been the victim of social media exposé after receiving racist rants on her Twitter page.
According to 38 year old Ms Pascale, this isn't the face time she has been verbally and racially abused on the social site. However due to the vitriolic nature of the message, she decided to take it further and filed a complaint with the Metropolitan Police.
We have decided not to publish the explicit message on here.
Pascale did however re-tweet the abuse, tagging her attacker.
Her followers were immediately filled with scorn reprimanding the sender in equally virulent messages.
Pascale tweet-vented her dismay to the rest of the world expressing great disappointment:

"I am hurt, shocked and saddened by the comments this person has made against me. Sadly, this is not the first time racist comments have been directed at me on Twitter. However, it is by far the worst example. I have therefore decided to report it to the police and speak out. I do this for myself and countless others who have to deal with this kind of abuse on a daily basis and are powerless to stop it."



Pascale's BBC shows have been known to attract over two million viewers.

Why is the word "black" seemingly offensive?

Nowadays there exists a myriad of  urban slogans such as  "Black and proud", "Black is beautiful", "Black don't crack", etc which we use in sentences or wear on customised t-shirt clothing. The word black which for many centuries signified degradation, appears to have emerged from racist sobriety to be almost venerated with other words such as white.
Why then does the term black appears to be offensive in conversations (or heated exchanges)? More recently the cases of John Terry who allegedly insulted Anton Ferdinand a "f****** black ****"  during a football match and eccentric X Factor contestant Kitty Brucknell who is alleged to have hurled racial abuse at a fellow contestant when she screamed "You evil black b*****d, f*** you Derry."

Both stories have made gripping newspaper headlines across the country with the police currently conducting an investigation which could see Terry charge with racial harassment. Meanwhile sources say Brucknelll has been quick to issue a grovelling handwritten apology to Derry Mensah as internet forums flooded with calls for her to leave the X Factor.

No doubt verbal abuse took place in both cases but I struggle with the term "racial abuse". The Lantern Project describes racial crime as something committed against a victim solely because of their race. The Race Relations Act 1976 focuses on racial discrimination and harassment. Meanwhile The Met Police focuses more on hate crimes.
What is racist about one calling a black man what he is...a black man? Yes; insultive colourful adjectives where heaped on the description which are of course hurtful and should not be condoned but what part of this is racially abusive? Mensah is black and in Anton's case appears to be mixed race. Perhaps then Terry should have said "f****** mixed race ****"(or maybe he believes in the one drop theory). The derogatory notorious N word or others similar to it was not use in both cases. Now if those had been used, of course there will be no objection it was indeed racial abuse.

Do we get overly sensitive when peoples of different colour use the word black at us?. I get defensive when people comment I do not have an accent  and don't  sound African( Whatever African sounds like and which human hasn't got an accent? The only species of living animals not to have one will be cats, dogs, cows, etc since irrespective of where they come from they all meow, bark, moo, etc alike).

Too often we get caught up with the media frenzy surrounding particular cases such that our views become distorted and slowly merge with what these news sources wish us to think. We should from time to time take a step aside for inner reflection of honest opinion we hold.

Calling a black person names using the word black is not racist. Personally I will take offense if I am called white ***** as that will be the real issue seeing as I am not white but "Black and proud".
