A thread for the terribly bad ideas of the world. The ones that just make you scratch your head and think, âDude, what the fuck were you thinking? This is a shit idea!â
Who the fuck OKâd this? How did you not anticipate the reaction to this? Nevermind the fact you are taking a music legend, revolutionary and important humanitarian and reducing him to a stoner with a hat. God itâs a dumb move. ÂŁ10 says this idea came from a room of nothing but middle-aged white dudes.

Is Bob Marley music good srs? I only know the famous songs like the one where he shot the sheriff and the one about the little birds and they sound terrible to me like children music, but is it that his Album Songs are really good or something, or is it that I just donât know Musical Genius when I hear it?
Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Tila Tequila pays tribute to her âsoul mateâ Adolf Hitler on his birthday
She was kicked off the 2015 series of Celebrity Big Brother after her controversial views about Adolf Hitler came to light, but that hasnât stopped Tila Tequila from singing his praises.
The reality TV star has sparked outrage yet again after posting a tribute to the late leader of the Nazi party on his birthday.
âAnd happy birthday to my past life historical figure, most epic legend of all time, Mein Furhor, Adolf Hitila! ,â she wrote on Wednesday.
âThe MOST HIGH! ⊠Happy Birthday, mein Furhor! The most high! #420#Soulmates#PastLife#Reunited#HailHitila ⊠We all knew this day was coming! The 2nd coming of Christ in the end times prophecy has been fulfilled! #HeilHitila.â
Tila, who has a one-year-old daughter, also posted a number of pictures in tribute including a photoshopped snap of her sitting alongside her âheroâ.
The 34-year-old is known for posting some rather bizarre and downright offensive comments on social media, however her numerous remarks about Hitler and the Nazis are probably the most controversial.
Tila was booted out of CBB last year when Channel 5 producers were alerted to her posts, including an image of herself in an SS uniform hat and swastika armband which posted on her Facebook page in 2013.
âUnfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother,â a spokesperson for the show said in a statement.
âWhen they were brought to our attention, she was called to the Diary Room for a discussion with producers and was subsequently removed from the house.
âThe views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the programme was untenable.â
Tila â whose real name is Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen â also caused controversy over a post on her website entitled Why I Sympathise With Hitler, Part I.
The TV star, who was born in Singapore to Vietnamese parents, fronted her own bisexual dating show, A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila back in 2007.
She also appeared in a sex tape in 2011, which she claimed was released without her consent.
Ah Britain First, that little band of bellends so pathetic itâd be comedic if it wasnât so utterly depressing.
Following on from similar stunts, that have gone so well for them, Patriot Paul led this little expedition over the weekend.
Britain First just tried to âinvadeâ a halal slaughterhouse. It went badly
Did you have a nice Bank Holiday weekend? Oh good yes us too. Clearly youâre not a member of Britain First, who decided to spend their extra time off âinvadingâ a halal slaughterhouse to âexposeâ the practice.
A video posted to the far-right groupâs Facebook page on Monday evening shows deputy leader Jayda Fransen and several other Britain First members force their way into the floor of a slaughterhouse.
Fransen screams at staff, customers and the camera about halal meat eaters worshipping a false God and Satan and practising a âdisgusting, vile ideologyâ.
Donât you realise youâre in Great Britain? In Britain, why do we have halal slaughterhouses? Why are you offering these animal up to Allah, a fake god, Satan. Do any of you have any morals?
Not content with terrorising the workers, she then addresses customers waiting on the shop side.
Look at all these people here buying halal-slaughtered meat. You are in Great Britain. Halal slaughter is barbaric. How can you live with yourselves? Look at you, every single one of you. This is a Christian country and the Bible says no Christian should eat meat offered to a false god.
My grandfather fought for this country and he didnât do that for you people to turn it into little Pakistan by you people carrying out these barbaric practices for a disgusting, vile ideology.
Leader Paul Golding, who appears to be filming, calls the workers a âdisgraceâ, and another member of the group accuses shoppers of funding terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah with their dinners.
It is, quite frankly, appalling.
As with basically everything Britain First does, a quick fact check is in order:
Halal slaughter isnât more or less âbarbaricâ than other methods of killing animals such as kashrut in Judaism, which forbids the stunning of animals before slaughter
The interpretation and practice of halal slaughter varies widely throughout Islam
A huge amount of meat in the UK is halal compliant anyway, so this one slaughterhouse has not been âexposedâ
As for the charge of cruelty, the RSPCA estimates that 88 per cent of animals killed for halal meat are stunned first
Last but not least, Fransen might want to reevaluate her claim that her grandfather didnât fight for âyou people to turn [this country] into little Pakistan.â
âMy grandfather fought for this country and he didnât do that for you people to turn it into little Pakistan by you people carrying out these barbaric practices for a disgusting, vile ideology.â
This is just obvious, isnât it.
EDIT: **Sorry keep forgetting you cannot link YouTube vids like that video below
Just had an email from Sro audiences (where you can free tickets for shows). But this time theyâre looking for people to be in their show.
Itâs called the great benefits handout and itâs by channel 5. They will give you ÂŁ26k and you stop claiming benefits. They ask for people who have business ideas. Another voyeuristic look and people on benefits.
Yeah, have to confess it did make me wince a bit. It is billed as an alternate take on history - i.e. it is deliberately dramatised for effect, but I still feel a bit uneasy with it.
