Another genius idea for a website that is both hilarious and scary: Speak Your Branes.
The neatest way of summing up the site is contained within it’s URL: ifyoulikeitsomuchwhydontyougolivethere.com
What they’ve done is simply trawl through the BBC’s Have Your Say site, where ‘ordinary people’ get to comment on the day’s stories and filter out the scariest, funniest and downright depressing examples of a modern Briton slavering over their keyboard in righteous indignation.
Then add a sarcastic comment on to it:
An old one I just found, on the death of Michael Crichton.
Why ask me for my reaction – I’ve no idea who he was.
Douglas Lee, LondonI like to imagine Douglas in a permanent state of shock, leafing incredulously through rail timetables full of destinations he’s not intending to travel to and TV schedules full of programmes he doesn’t watch.
Lovely.
Or we have the delightful Ian Jempson apparently from ‘revolutionsville’:
Instead of a database containing our private movements , perhaps a more effective border police force , proper imigration checks coupled with really harsh hard punishments from the courts like hanging for planting bombs would stem the flood of crime ! Lets face it we are the dumping ground for the european criminals they are here all ready
Right. Hanging will deter suicide bombers will it? Which bits do we hang then, assuming we find any?
If you love internet stupidity, then Speak your Branes is the place for you. Just make sure you don’t get quoted on it……
