The Mail and Screaming Afterbirth
You know the moralistic Mail, who got their knickers in a twist the other day about men having a Tommy to internet porn? The moralistic Mail, whose writer got angry about a film he'd never seen, just because he thought it would probably be bad?
Well today they feature an article about people who've copied the Beatles' Abbey Road album cover. It's a straightforward C&V from somewhere or other else on the web, maybe here, and unlikely to be the Mail's own work. There is one cover included twice, for example, and also this delight:
Yes, it's those family favourites Screaming Afterbirth with a split album with those other funsters Methadone Abortion Clinic. Lovely, no? I think Screaming Afterbirth sound like just the sort of band the Mail would approve of, with song titles like "You're in Urine," "Anal Volcano", "Stinks of Rapes," "Drunk on Feces," "Blowtorch Lynchings" and "Completely stuffed bitch".
Ah well, that's what happens when you just copy things off the web without checking, isn't it?

I look forward to the weekend supplement's review of the new Anal Cunt album!

Actually, two covers are repeated – Kapanga's Un Asado En Abbey Road and New York City's Soulful Road.
But then, it's not your job to check for rank incompetence…
I wonder if there was really too little news today to put together a newspaper – and if so, what did the other papers do to cover the lack?

I was given a copy of this today so will investigate further. I can feel a Beatle-Mail post coming on.
'You Never Give Me Your Money'..unless you're an Asylum seeker and guess which speeding motorist is paying?
'She came in thr'u the bathroom window' – I haven't seen this filthy film but it should be banned and only me and the slimy corpse of Mary Whitehouse should see it.
Come Together – no, can't see owt there
And in the end the love you take is equal to the hate you make.
Well, yer get the idea there…

Given that Macca had a CD annexed to Der Sturmer, it can't be too long before Abortion fans everywhere have some favourite inserts themselves.

Just looke at the hard one!
Screaming Afterbirth is in a different position. next to Kanye West and The Punkles but still nowhere near the Seasame St crew for kudos.
Will scan for posteriors if need be.

Selfish Cunt are better than Anal Cunt.

I always liked the story that many, many years ago BBC Radio broadcast some music instead of the news bulletin because nothing had happened that day.
Maybe this is the newspaper equivalent.
