Man, the carbon footprint on that would keep a Chinese power station going for 3 hours!

I like how the guy on the cover is at the front, his rake erect and the women is behind him, looking up in wonder.

It gives me no pleasure to note this happened in Scotland, not England.

Although statistically, I think the English are more prone to this kind of thing. It's in the genes.

" ...the sort of friends who don't wash their hands or wipe properly, yet are always touching your stuff, covering your pretty things in their fecal encrustations, until you just can't STAND it anymore and you just want to put your hands around their gobbling thoraxes and squeeze, squeeze, SQUEEZE until their faces go purple and their protruded eyeballs flop around their bloated cheeks and you NEVER have to worry about them touching your stuff EVER again.... for ever and ever and ever FOREVER."

Man ... I'm wearied of this stuff already. Is every post gonna read like this?

As a British company, I imagine they overlooked the raccoon issue due to the fact that we don't have raccoons. We do however, have people who like re-enacting concentration camp scenes with hookers and I don't know if they've taken that into account.

When people used to emigrate, there was no expectation you'd see your family ever again - never mind every other weekend.

I suppose the only positive is that when all our financial centres are six feet under the ocean, business people won't need to scoot around the world on a whim or nip home to give granny a hug.

I think the difference is that these kids were buying used stuff. It's how I started my music collection - 25 years ago.

What are 15 year olds doing [i]today[/i]?

If you've [i]never[/i] paid for media because you get [i]all[/i] your music/movies/comics for free online, why would you change that as you get older?

I think this notion that freeloading students are going to turn into comic store regulars once they get a proper job is basically flawed.

The torrent sites are already full of people whose entire collection of movies (for example) are rips of DVDs. My guess is they hardly ever set foot in a store, no matter how friendly the staff.

Why go back for the hard copy of #9 of Underpant Pervert when you can wait a couple of weeks for it to come online for free? You didn't miss the first 8 issues when you didn't know it existed. The two week wait isn't so bad.

Y'know, Radiohead can tour to boost their income. But how will XXX stars make money when their DVDs are immediately torrented and their paysites are ripped clean and passwords freely traded?

Ah ... but how much of this stuff is made of "stuff"? And therefore from the hands of poorly paid ladies and gentlemen from Asia?

Let your festive resolution this year be "I will not buy crappy 'stuff' - even if it is featured on BB."
