The worst birthday card EVER.
I recently went to a collector's fair. One of the stalls had a big box of greetings cards, all with painted scenes from the 1940's. My girlfriend looked through them to find one with aeroplanes on for my Dad's upcoming birthday. What did she find instead?
THE WORST BIRTHDAY CARD EVER MADE. Behold:
Yes, It's supposed to be a Bobby comforting a small child. But that isn't what it looks like, is it? How did this leave the factory without anybody saying, "Hang on, that looks a bit like OH GOD NO"?
And yes, it does say "Happy Birthday" inside. Giving this to someone would guarantee that they'd have a very bad birthday indeed, mostly spent washing their eyes.
Here's the back of it, just to prove I'm not making this up:
It's available as a print, apparently. Sell many prints of this, Rothbury Cards...? Didn't think so.
I feel a bit ill now.
Quick site news thing: Yes, I am aware that all the Youtube links have gone blank again. No, I don't know why. Yes, they'll come back of their own accord in a day or so.

Behold the power of FIFTY GAMES.
Another review in conjunction with Gizmodo, the website that everyone thinks has an "n" in it's name!
This review has earned me many "Diggs" as the thing below shows. Hopefully they can be exchanged for goods, much like the Green Shield Stamps of old.

Splash Wave
Look out, kids - it's a review of more horrible electronic tat. It's physically huge, a bright colour, and makes horrible screeching noises. Pretty much like everything from 1989, in fact.
Now to dispose of the damn thing...

Where I find my Heaven
There is currently an exhibition at the London Science Museum called "Game On". It's about video games.
I went to see it the other week. Have a gander at my photo report thing here. It's on a website that technically doesn't exist yet, so you can feel extra special!
Mind Numbing Site News: I've changed the Amazon box on the right of the page over to less ugly Google ads.
