Why super poking takes on a whole new meaning.....

And now for yet another cutting edge revelation to be reported on involving new evidence presented concerning the  psychological/physical/sociological evils attributed to the use of facebook. 


It always comes from some poxy sounding "body of research", inevitably groundbreaking and usually accredited to someone who at least sounds clever enough to boast a doctorate and a lot of time on their hands


- though, let it be said that at my graduation ceremony someone can now claim the title of "doctor" due to an intensive examination into Bollywood dancing - 


Now, it would seem that a bit of social networking on the old fb could in fact give you give you syphilis

well at least this is allegedly the situation currently plaguing certain areas of the UK..to the mass extent of an increase by the "fourfold"


It seems that the likes of Sunderland, Durham and Teeside claim a large number of randy residents intent on mass infection..


kinda like vampires but with even worse consequences than resembling an anaemic Tom Cruise...via complex means of cyber transmission.


Hiding in the devil's lair committing other various social networking crimes of mass application invites and constant attempts to get people to come to watch their boyfriend and his lame band..

So, just remember kids: when logging on to facebook: always use protection

Why you may just skip this one

 Yep, you know it...I am being hell crass and self-indulgent, (yes, ONCE AGAIN, but hey: such is the nature of blogging generally, yeah..?) but am shamelessly parading my audio wares..


As per my show - TUESDAY OVERDRIVE - I am required to provide regular weekly content by way of segments and such..


So here is a glimpse at what shall be declared "regular" by the week

• 4.30pm: POBJIE'S PISSED: with Ben Pobjie - a satirist
• 5.15pm: ARTY-FACT
• 5.30pm: MUSICAL MICROSCOPE (DEBUT AIRS NEXT WEEK!!!!! YEA YEA!!)

In the meantime, if you haven't been keeping, err, well, "regular", get this dosage of audio metamucil into yr soul (like a birdhouse i guess, a la, They Might Be Giants, but not crappppp)

TRACK #1 - Happy, happy birthday...BENNY BOYYYYY...now here's some syphilis

TRACK #2 - The Latest and Greatest in the GAFFA GALLERY

TRACK #3 - Takin' it to the Streets

TRACK #4 - MUSICAL MICROSCOPE: focussing in on the dawning of low-fi

TRACK #5 - How to be an Artistic Persian Feminist

Why Children Should be Seen and Not Heard

They especially aren't worth hearing if they are as determined as this young whipper snapper, like so many other young and socially deprived pubescents with a knack for robotic like communications.

Kind of along the lines of Stephen Hawking (but who could argue, the guy is damn smart...he managed to summarise the history of time AND used his subsequent fame to seduce his nurse... how cliched!)

As usual, I digress, this was a story posted on the excellent National Public Radio (NPR) site. Check out the story, here!
