The DVD one in particular is annoying me because I pay £15 a month to rent DVDs, but they get to me slower and in a less user-friendly form than if I just torrented the damn things. And they repeatedly shout at me about how piracy is theft before every film. Grrrrrr.

BNP MEP Nick Griffin + KKK Terrorist

I hope that the people that voted this man into his new position are ashamed of themselves.

I can only assume that he's inbred from only the purest of indigenous stock. Part of a shrinking gene pool that I'd be glad to see the back of.
