It's all fun and games until someone's seized by a CIA snatch squad.
He might change his mind when he has a hypodermic stuck in his arse and wakes up in Guantanamo Bay, but for the time being Mylo is unrepentant about depicting George Bush as a drug-abusing madman.
Spurned by the major networks like most people spurn rabid dogs, the video for the Scottish dance maverick’s ‘Muscle Car’ single depicts the Prez snorting cocaine, watching porn and – stroke of genius this – cavorting with prostitutes in Tony Blair masks.
“I was living in Los Angeles when Bush stole the election in 2001,” he rues. “It was very depressing. In the four years since then, he’s proved to be even more stupid and dangerous than I feared at the time. I felt that I’d already had a satirical pop at American fundamentalism with my track ‘Destroy Rock & Roll’, but not everybody interpreted it that way.”
The full clip can be watched at www.realision.com/muscle/MYLO_Muscle_Car.mov.
Sticking with things that you’ll never in a month of Sundays see on Fox TV, some sick, twisted individual has decided to soundtrack The Passion Of The Christ with the Benny Hill theme.
Fans of wanton blasphemy should log on to www.lowcarbcomedy.com/html/videos/therest/passionhill.htm and prepare to laugh themselves hoarse.
If Pete Burns’ lips have you reaching for the sickbag, you’ll want to give a wide berth to the surgical jiggery pokery going on at modblog.bmezine.com/entries/200512071624.html.
For reasons best known to their psychotherapists, two Floridian ladies have had silicone knuckle-dusters implanted on their chests.
“The procedure took a few hours with most of the time being spent laying anchor stitches to reduce shifting,” reports the site. “Healing was uneventful with some bruising and swelling for the first week.” Nice.
Your town has been torn apart by a bloody civil war which, although now over, has left deep divisions. Do you: A. Embark on a programme of respect-building cross-community initiatives, B. Set up a truth and reconciliation commission, or C. Erect the first statue of kung fu legend Bruce Lee in a public park?
Explaining why Mostar has gone for the last of those options, project manager Veselin Gatalo says: “Lee is a hero to all ethnicities in Bosnia. The statue faces north, so that Muslims in the eastern part of Mostar and Croats in its western half do not see him as poised for a fight with them.”
