I know this is a few days old but I'm surprised no-one mentioned it.
It has "emerged" that those dinky and not-at-all-annoying "Make Poverty History" wristbands have been made in sweatshops.
Whoops.
I can't believe our Quiffles is continuing to sponsor such blatant capitalist conscience-appeasing horribleness.
Tsk tsk.

The PG Tips chimpanzees were forced to make them, working 24 hours a day in a cramped airless hovel, NO DOUBT...

Anyone who had a heart...

Getting it off your computer is easy. As for getting it out of your
brain ... for that you may have to turn to the evils of alcohol.

That bloody show. Grr. I wanted to blow that bloody machine away with a shotgun.
And I was only eleven, too.
