If you're into disturbing surrealist b-list celebrity microporn, and for some reason I would not be surprised if you were.

I have not watched Antichrist yet.

Insanity really is insanity. Not a lot of gimmick to it beyond the sometimes hilariously enthusiastic guy telling you to push it and the generic modern rock soundtracks.

It is easier said than done, The Platypus. The Singaporean economy depends on the cross-currents in thoughts and feelings between the fans of the Big Four.

Giant Crab Man, I'm assuming the video you linked was the Malcolm in the Middle alternate ending to Breaking Bad? It's down.

Can't find it anywhere else either. Anyone got a good link of it somewhere?

Hello Newcastle United people, I am an 18-year-old Chinese kid who has never gone to England before. My ties with any football fellowship is rather non-existent, and my idea of being a football "supporter" hardly extends beyond following matches and celebrating along with my favourite team.

Okay, now that's out of the way. I hope you'll bear with me here... It's kind of weird for me to talk about this as I've never talked about this before. But I know it exists, and for every weekend of Saturday fixtures since about four years ago, I feel something expanding from within the deepest, darkest depths of my soul, a yearning, going against my outward character and desiring for a change.

You see, I have been a Manchester United fan since my father and my uncles were fans too. Joining alongside their cheers as David Beckham scored magnificent free kicks, I was soon following Manchester United, hogging the television off my elders every weekend, as they typically last-minute waltzed their way to several Premiership titles. I subscribed to all sorts of Manchester United newsfeeds. I saved up money to buy Manchester United memorabilia. I played in an amateur football team that consisted solely of Manchester United fans (a lot of them in Singapore). And even if it was really too easy to be any fun, I still played twenty-season games on FM with Manchester United, notching back-to-back trebles. Up till about several years ago, I was quite simply all about Manchester United.

But weird things started to happen. Things that went against everything I thought I knew about myself.

I would estimate that it started ever since Joe Kinnear was made interim manager of Newcastle United. While I still stuck mostly to Manchester United news, every time a little news snippet of Kinnear and his antics appeared on my feed, I felt a strange attraction towards them. I opened up these little clips, and read and laughed along at the nonsense that he was up to (Insomnia is a favourite). That Shay Given was made the MotM even when Newcastle lost 6-1 was another memorable bit for me. Beyond these little things, however, I never really paid much attention to Newcastle, and when they got relegated, I never gave them much thought at all.

Then they got back in the season after, a time when I began watching EPL matches beyond just Manchester United as the cable company started broadcasting more of them. And I caught a match which, in hindsight, was probably a turning point: Newcastle United 4, Arsenal 4. Tioté scoring that last-minute equaliser is a sight I'll never forget (his finishing is horrendous otherwise). I still watch match highlights of that match every now and then.

After that, I began following Newcastle United up and down the Premiership table, and it was quite a ride the next season, where Demba Ba (and Cissé thereafter) tore up the better teams in the league, ending off in a 5th place result. And I didn't really care that Manchester United lost to City for the title. All I felt happy about was that Ameobi was going to play in the Europa League next season.

Of course, I still had to banter with my family and friends, many of which were Manchester United fans themselves. But deep within my heart, I really wanted to talk about Cissé's banana kick against Chelsea.

This season, I began watching Newcastle United matches over Manchester United's if they were played in tandem, and I'm currently enjoying every single moment of link-up brilliance between Remy, Gouffran and Kebab (Anita's assist against Chelsea too) as they finally begin to start playing well as a team. I also almost exclusively play as Newcastle United on FIFA, with a tendency to start Shola Ameobi in the first-team, insisting that he has still got it in him, and ever did. Kinnear's return to Newcastle United delights me to no end. But to everyone else, I am still a Manchester United fan. I still have to talk about Manchester United with them, and my mates will ask to come over and watch Manchester United matches (I let them). I get Manchester United-esque gifts like keychains and wallets. My mom still thinks I like the colour red, and I recently found out she bought me the latest Wayne Rooney autobiography for the upcoming Christmas.

I know I've probably wasted quite a bit of your time reading all this stuff, and I'm sorry about that. It's... just that I've never talked about my closet Newcastle United feelings before, but I really needed to air out a little Newcastle Anonymous to the world. Thanks for your time, and I hope Pardew's top-four hopes are fully realised come the end of this season. It'll be a blast to watch Ameobi playing in the Champions League.

A thumbs down on his new 'serious' foray. It's a bit all-over-the-place, and it's a little too rock-rap for Eminem's more technical flow. And I hope he knows he's never going to return to his own form by trying to pander to his old form.

I don't know how it took me so long to realise Way down in the Hole and Red Right Hand are the same music?

Let's carry out a little survey right here... rank the Wire's seasonal renditions of Way Down in the Hole.

5 > 2 > 4 > 1 > 3, Simon saved the best for last.

Does sound interesting, but it would be something I'd join in when there's a larger database of players.

Not all the time. I do get it more frequently when I'm sleeping on my back, but I also get it often when I'm face-flat (and it's actually far scarier when I am).

Fuck Buttons have got another winner on their cards. For three albums straight they've churned out some of the most inventive pop crossovers in the longest while. They're easily at the forefront of British music, with their involvement in the London Olympics' soundtrack only proving it.

Sleep Paralysis sucks balls.

I get the minute-long kind on an almost daily basis, sometimes recurring several times in one night. After I found out what it really was I stopped getting scared of it and I actually find it quite fascinating. It's a lucid dream of sorts.

I'm more concerned about the justification - that two child killers once watched porn.

I think it's hilarious - "legal" pornography as a gateway to child abuse images.

Yeah, I agree.

It's also utterly hypocritical how many adults access porn and yet try their hardest to black their kids out from such content. Is it okay to be "corroded" (quoted by Cameron himself) once you hit twenty or so? Or maybe once you've fucked someone for the first time? Would they even know how to do it?
