The London Metro. FML
The only two words that don't fail me on this occasion are these: "disgracefully trivial".

Quite right
You look at the blank eyes and slack jaws of people reading it. I somehow find solace in the knowledge that at least the London Lite and thelondonpaper are no longer jostling for that same bottom rung of the journalistic ladder these days. I ask colleagues why they pick the Metro up in the morning and get the answer "It's something to read". When I try to explain that it's nothing but sensationalised tosh (if it doesn't have "MURDER", "RAPE" or "PAEDO" in the headline, it ain't going in) and "stories" invented by PR companies, and suggest they read a book or do something else, I get called a cynical bastard. Oh well.

erm...its free its to read on public transport...
and theres nothing worse than the
"IM MORE CLEVER THAN YOU YOUR READING RUBBISH"
all i do when someone says that is think "yes i know, i don't care, i don't think that Die hard is the height of cinematography either...."
Your really that concerned about what someone else is reading?
If anyone suggested to me that I should "read a book" i would insert one into them followed by "yeah your right...i have no idea what im doing with that"

TBH
I only read Nemi, then use it to prop up my phone whilst I watch dodgy downloaded US TV shows for an hour on the train.

Your point is valid. It's no business of mine what someone else is reading, i got side-tracked and thank you for getting me back in my groove. 99% of my gripe is the shit that people are tricked into accepting as 'news' by these papers and wonder if it has a positive or negative effect on society as a whole. I was sure there are people who don't take it seriously, but then Leona Lewis won that award...

i try to see it as some Dada-ist absurdism...like taking Acid and watching question time...

and sorry for the harsh tone... i got a bit prickley

That's a good solution.
Like Aldous Huxley when he was taken for a drive whilst tripping on mescaline.
Now if you have any suggestions for people listening to their music too loudly on trains, and middle-lane-hogging motorway morons, i'd be very much obliged to you as well.
Thank 'ee

And never, never, never hold back.
I'd brick their fucking windows and drive their fucking Renault Scenic's (cos it's always them) up their arseholes.
I've got myself...

Oh fuck a duck...
...the "traffic jam fixers" are another breed. Those who, in gridlocks, let a 100yrd gap develop between them and the car in front so they can possibly keep up a steady pace for the rest of the traffic behind them. One small problem...that gap just gets filled by cunts in the other lanes. Back to square one with you, you arse.

To be fair,
the cinematography in Die Hard is pretty amazing.

"Your really that concerned about what someone else is reading?"
No man is a pamphlet entire of itself; every man is a chapter on the shelves, a part of a book; if a leaf be blown away by the wind, the library is the less, as well as if a literary classic were, as well as if a biography of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's dearth of reading diminishes me, because I am involved in readerkind. And therefore never send to know for whom the page turns; it turns for thee.

Well that looks like a tampered vote to me
Looking at the vote shares, she's so far ahead of anyone else.

You're surprised?
Have you not ever interacted with humans? The majority of them are as thick as pigshit.

Yeah, this is very true.
An IQ of 100 is far from bright, and 50% of humanity is below this. Of the remaining 50%, most are within the range of 100-110, and that's not smart either. By the time you get to an IQ of 120+ (which is pretty high), you're looking at about 5% of the population.

If you're in the 180s, you're probably fictional.
Anything over 120 is damn good (it's within -IIRC- the top 5-10% of humanity).

The way they test it is a bit weird
I always get something in the 140s too, but I'm a bit sceptical.
Yes, though, 140 is meant to be very good.

The question was
Who is your 'favourite' influential woman. The headline is misleading. Still bollocks for voting Leona Lewis anyway, but still.
