Welcome to the UK, where birdwatching, stamp collecting and other quaint hobbies have been replaced by something that everyone seems to enjoy a lot more; getting offended by stuff. Cos boy fucking howdy, do we Brits just love getting all worked up over absolutely nothing.

Case in point? This latest piece of hand-wringing "I find it offensive" idiocy.

So yeah, dressing up like HANNIBAL LECTOR (that's what the metal mask is for) is now "living in the dark ages" because it has negative connotations to mental illness.

So now you can't buy this costume in Britain. I bought it a few years ago (from a Horror Movie section of a fancy dress website). It's probably worth a fortune.

So did this latest fuss over nothing make it's way across the pond?

Don't abuse children, or else they turn out like me.

We are about one step away from this. We might get there by the end of the month though, so don't count us out yet.

Ben: This most recent "shout" is confusing the hell out of me. Is the user name "lol" with a space, and then the first colon signifies the comment is "): lol w/emoticon?" OR is the user name "lol

" and the comment is just "lol w/emoticon?" I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! May 9, 2013 20:19:25 GMT 2

Ben: It appears the shoutbox knows all. By turning my smiley into an emoticon it has answered my question. May 9, 2013 20:20:30 GMT 2

For those that hate the puerile society they are forced into. For those that think outside the banal mainstream. For those with wit, passion and knowledge - THIS is where you belong. We will save the internet. One post at a time.

Sigh. Just another day in Britain.
