Disrespect for Irish politicians has reached a new and highly entertaining level. Stuart Clark presents Caught In The Net.
Mary Harney dressed in a rubber mask farting in Michael D. Higgins’ face? The thought would undoubtedly put Michael off his dinner, but that’s one of the terrifying tableaus on www.langerland.com, a satirical site which also boasts a cartoon of Enda Kenny – how do we put this delicately? – rear-ending Bertie Ahearn.
Knowing how respectful Caught In The Net readers are of our country’s politicians, you may prefer their Top 10, What Have The Brits Ever Done For Us?, which features cameos from Gerry Adams, Kevin Myers, Charles ‘n’ Camilla and the various members of the Ireland football team who prior to pulling on the green shirt thought Dublin was what happened when you multiplied things by two.
There’s more animated fun to be had at www.luckykazoo.com where some DJ with far too much time on his/her hands has given the Cillit Bang TV commercial (“Hi, I’m Barry Scott”) a hardcore techno makeover.
No dafter than 90% of the dance tracks currently infesting the charts – if we ever run into the Sunset Strippers there are going to be slaps! – it’s become something of a cult phenomenon in Glasgow where gabba reigns supreme.

Lee Bowyer clocking Kieron Dyer is nursery school stuff compared to the ultra-sporting violence here, a handy compendium of professional ice hockey players beating the crap out of each other.
From there it’s but a mere mouse-click to www.maverickmedia.co.uk/panzers, a must for any Premiership coaches trying to work out how to breach the Chelsea defence.
Which just leaves time for quick visits to www.thesmokinggun.com (You can’t blame this one on Marilyn Manson); www.solardeathray.com (Can’t wait for the summer!); and www.geocities.com/thesciencefiles/eyelash/creatures.html (We’re off for a good scrub).
