Pro Life Loo(ser) Posters.
Who’s behind putting these disgusting anti-choice ads in the jacks? Some thirsty rabblers braved the Xmash jumper twats last night for tasty pints in O’Reillys. That cheapo place under Tara St station. Last night while having a slash one of our lot noticed these really crude and sickening posters staring down from the wall. We’re not usually the sort to complain, but it was brought up with the staff – … Read More

They claim ” We stand among the nation as a “solidly pro life nation” and features among others Wendy Grace, one of those token young folk that gets wheeled out by the Catholics to prattle on about her faith every now and then. She’s actually really into sex. Or so she told the … Read More
What Is This? Beat Girl.

Set in London, but filmed in Dublin – it comes with a PR package that looks like it was vomited up by one of those websites that sells Stock photography to Youth Defence. Apparently it’s some sort of transmedia story telling gimmick, and there’s a few Youtube interviews with respected sorts like Donnacha … Read More
