Race row in Monaco
Lewis Hamilton caused upset in Monaco when he used his colour to try to get out of penalties. The tirade came after being punished by stewards three times on two days for a variety of incidents on the course, to which Hamilton snapped: "Maybe it's because I'm black. That's what Ali G says. I don't know."
The incident is being likened to Kenneth Clarkes’ recent misspeakings about rape, and the time Michelle Obama touched the Queen’s bum. When it was suggested everyone might be taking Hamiton a bit too seriously, officials roared ‘NO!’ and everyone went home with some rather bad feeling. What a disgusting show from you, Hamilton! Ali G also calls women ‘bitches,’ but that doesn’t mean he’s right, does it? You silly boy.
Oiks to be accepted into educational establishments
Bad luck for posh middle-class kids (students of York, I’m looking at you). Schools may be given the right to turn away nice, clean, rich children, and instead allow dirty little commoners to run amok, just to be more inclusive. The move is supposed to stop snooty parents moving near to all the good schools and elbowing the hard-working poor parents out of the market. We’ll see how that goes.
Shevolution?
Beyoncé has started a feminist revolution. No, really. Her new song, Run The World (Girls) contains such gems as ‘my persuasion can build a nation’ (interesting use of rhyme, there) and ‘some of them men think they freak this like we do, but no they don’t’ (not even sure what that one means).
Bey has been under some criticism for claiming women are secretly running the world with little evidence to back this claim up. Also, for singing this whilst gyrating in various revealing and faux-military-style outfits in her wonderful video. But, hey, who cares? Let the lovely ladies dance, man, and stop overanalysing!
Tweet of the week
@rustyrockets: I have been immortalised by @wossy as a cartoon character. Now I can legitimately grope Minnie Mouse. (Russell Brand, comedian).
Until next week, check out the Double Take section by clicking on the Comment tab. It's funny, dammit!
I hate it when I think I freak it like Beyoncé does but it turns out I actually don't freak it like that at all :(
PS Hamilton to recommend real leather seats for F1 cars because "isn't leather just a way out of the ghetto for some animals"
