The Megaphone : A Debate Blog

So it has been a while since my last post. The break has done me some good. I was starting to feel like this blog was taking over my life. In conversations with people instead of chatting away I was thinking ooooh I could blog about that and not paying attention. So anyway, I felt like I needed a break to get the blog/life balance back on track. This T-shit sums up how I was feeling.

So anyway, onto business. You must have seen all the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Chicken Run programme, or seen him on the news or whatever. He is also getting Senior Oliver involved, which pretty much means it is going to become the biggest thing on the political agenda before too long.

So what did you guys think? Do battery chickens have a good enough life, or is it free range all the way for you? Maybe battery chickens lives could be improved a little bit and then they would still be cheap, but not abused.

I have always bought free range eggs, I have now vowed never to get another battery chicken. It is no life for a chicken. I think if you can’t afford to buy a normal (free range) chicken that has lived a normal life that every chicken should have the right to live, then maybe that should mean you can’t afford to buy a chicken full stop. This is just my opinion - What are your thoughts?

You have a dirty mind.

Today I really want to know what people think of the big toothbrush debate. Are electric toothbrushes actually better than manual ones?

I have been considering buying an electric toothbrush, because on TV ads they really get rid of the dirt with ease. Plus in the morning, I am pretty much incapable of getting myself dressed, let alone the manual labour involved with getting your teeth clean. I have a feeling though that those TV ads are about as real as Kate Moss’ eyelashes.

There was a freelance guy at my work for a while, and one day he came in after being to the dentist and he said the dentist had suggested he buy an electric toothbrush. The dentist has never suggested I buy one, so maybe he was just rubbish at brushing his teeth. Or maybe they are better, I don’t know.

So should I buy an electric toothbrush? What kind of toothbrush do you use?

Let’s settle this once and for all, what is better… electric or manual?

So apparently exercise is good for you… not to be confused with exorcism, which is also good for you… but totally different.

I’m not the least healthy person in the world, I play football once a week for an hour. But I haven’t been able to play for like two months, and I actually noticed I was getting a bit of a belly. So I decided to take drastic measures and actually do some exercise… it is after all “good for you”, and the alternative would be to give up pizza and ice-cream and all that other good stuff people on American TV eat when they have just been dumped.

So the legal age for buying cigarettes has now been raised from 16 to 18 in the UK.

I feel sorry for the poor people who started smoking (legally) at 16, they’re now addicted. Now they’re like 17 and can’t buy cigarettes any more, what are they going to do… is Gordon Brown going to give them prescription cigarettes or something? They don’t make heroin addicts go cold turkey… this is just mean.

What do you guys think of this?

Okay, usually I write about something and get you to comment about your opinions, but today I’m getting scientifical on yo asses homeys. This is a really un-original question, there is even a book with this title, but it has been bothering me so I thought I would put it to the room.

Why do men have nipples?

Nipples’ function is to feed babies and men don’t lactate. Do we just have them to look symmetrical when we are naked or is there some use… is it something to do with when you are conceived you don’t have a gender yet and you could be either. Is it some sort of erotic thing. I don’t know… you can add science to the school subjects I was crap at… along with history.

Someone put me out of my misery with a highly intelligent comment please… or if you don’t know, maybe you could make up a function… like maybe in the future they will produce beer and men can suck their own nipples at the pub while watching the footy, sorry that is really weird, I should still be in bed. Suggestions please…

p.s. does anyone know how to spell ok or okay cause my spell check says both are wrong… yes I do use spell check you cheeky mammoth
