The Great – Historical figures in Lego

If like me, your childhood was spent with many a happy hour building lego things, then the mere idea that lego people could represent current famous people, and historical figures will either appall you or amaze you – I was amazed – look at these!!

see also, such wonders as Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton (without trousers), Madonna (complete with cones), Napoleon (who’s actually been made shorter :D )

The Good – John McCain totally looks like Dr Evil

I thought i’d hop on the Back Obama bandwagon and display this for everyone to see:

lol at McCain and his being lolled at worldwide, muhahahahaha.

The Bad – Jerry Lewis says bad things – upsets cricketers and gays

American Comedian, Jerry Lewis decided to say that cricket was a ‘fag sport’ on a recent trip to Australia.  what i find funny is that lgbt spokespeople and cricket spokespeople are equally as outraged that they’ve been connected with the other, all the gays are like ‘ew, sport, how very dare you’ and all the cricketers are like ‘raaaar, cricket am manly! we not fags’

well, not quite those words, but you get my point, anywho, just to settle the score, cricket is not faggy, faggy isn’t an appropriate word, and gays can’t be accused of playing sport, so everyone’s happy :)

what think ye?

The Queen – Hetero Californian couple complaining:

Apparently, heterosexuals are now discriminated against by the Californian marriage doodah – the dealio is that in the new laws in california, rather than the marriage license having a ‘bride’ and ‘groom’, it has ‘Party A’ and ‘Party B’. how utterly terrible…

oh no…

poor them…

thats far worse than centuries of persecution, under-representation, and stereotype…

how will they cope?

harumph

    Nope, Obama looks more like Dr Evil.

    McCain ’08!
    Hillary ’12!

  2. Small says:

    Thanks for your comment ‘observer’, but do you really think we’re going to last until 2012 if McCain gets elected?

    also, hate to break it to you … McCain looks more like Dr Evil than Obama does

  3. Blackett says:

    there is the Dr Evil is white issue.

    I have to say you are the first McCain supporter I have met(ish) nice to meet you.

  4. Dylan says:

    McCain is a decent guy but he will not last 8 years, if he gets elected we end up with a prospect almost too horrible to contemplate. Obama, however, is a legend and Biden is pretty awesome himself.

  5. Andy says:

    He’s a lifelong Republican. That’s all there is to it. Obama is the lesser of two evils.

    RE:The lego. Whilst they are amusing, I can see the Gandi causing some kind of offense, and why the hell isn’t her wearing glasses?!!!

  8. Small says:

    @ Lyn: Thanks for the comment, I don’t really understand why the Gandhi figure would cause offense though, however you are right, he should be wearing glasses :)

  9. rob says:

    offence, offence, not offense, Gandhi is not renowned for his skills on the basketball court, so he is offensive, maybe, but causes offence, come on….i demand better

  10. Blackett says:

    Maybe Gandhi does play basketball, there could be subtext going on here.

    You are right to demand better.

  11. Small says:

    apologies, kind readers, it was a momentary lapse in an otherwise pristinely spelled life

    won’t happen again

    the point i was trying to make is that there is no blatent reason why the Gandhi figurine is offenCive – apart from the lack of occular appendage i reckon its a pretty good match!
