Even in my Grandad's childhood, one pound was quite a lot of money. In the 19th century, £500 was substantially more than the average gentleman's annual living expenses.

Did...did you just unsnap my bra from across the internet??

Exactly. Also, he was insanely hot when young, and in the war, fighting for the allies, and...yeah.

I'm fairly well versed in media literacy, as much as I am in feminism, which is what ultimately led me to be a frequent reader of Jezebel. I suppose I can see how my original comment can be interpreted as you have, and so I'm going to zero in on precisely what removes it from universal considerations: "Men like myself,…

My favourite thing is that he's Greek and the rest of the Royal Family are German! And that is a beautiful metaphor for the current European economic situation (Greece controlled by Germany)! As well as putting an ironic spin on his 'bloody foreigners rhetoric'.
I love the comedian Tom Wrigglesworth, who once suggested…

To deaf children by steel band, 2000: “Deaf? If you’re near there, no wonder you are deaf.”

Mmmm, sloaney aristo girls who went to Cheltenham Ladies College, work in a bijou little gallery on New Bond St, live in darling little flats in Kensington and love, love, love the champagne cocktails at the fifth floor bar at Harvey Nicks. Come and sit with me, and you can tell me all about the gorgeous new hacking…

He makes off colour jokes about everyone, regardless of sex, race, creed or colour; he is scupulously fair in that respect.

I love Prince Philip precisely because he is so utterly mad. He's not just racist, he just manages to say things which offend every single demographic in existence. In fact, I don't think people even get offended by him, they're all just like "Oh Prince Philip, you fucking daft, inbred crazy old man".

Really?

I saw this over on The Mary Sue the other day and I was kind of disappointed. They all sounded fantastic, and looked great, but the lyric changes weren't the creativity I was expecting, and I was a bit let down. Like Scar. Basically nothing changed from the original to this one.
