Sowing the seeds of our future food

We wouldn’t be the most health conscious eaters at It’s good to mock HQ. The healthiest thing we’ve eaten is a bacon wrapped bacon double cheeseburger with low fat cheese. We are however attempting to change this and are thinking of becoming vegetarians. The idea of eating a plant based diet is massively appealing but we strongly believe in karma and can’t help feeling that the animals will somehow try to to get their own back on us for eating them for so long:

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should

To celebrate Bon Jovi releasing ten albums they've already released years ago, we were going to go back in time and prevent them from been recorded in the first place but Jill Y can't remember where she left the time machine. Instead, we're going to celebrate this momentous, life changing occasion (it’s important you don’t think we’re not using sarcasm here) by showing you a picture called:

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

PS: For those who like things explained in massively obvious terms, the Bon Jovi 10 album back catalogue is the Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburger in the above picture.

For those who like things explained in even more massively obvious terms, Bon Jovi shouldn't have re-released 10 albums as there's already too much pain and suffering in the world.

The interesting teaching methods of Riina, the Estonian photographer

Have you ever had one of those arguments? Have you ever had one of those arguments where she throws a sharp object at you? Have you ever had one of those arguments where she throws a sharp object at you and you just about escape with your heat seeking moisture missile, in one piece? I know Jill Y was freaked out but just can't figure out why.

To hack a long story short, I recently took up photography and started taking a class. Riina, a very creative  lady from Estonia was the tutor and I liked her teaching methods. Jill Y wasn’t impressed with her teaching methods at all and I’m not completely sure how we ended up in this picture, but I definitely enjoyed the class:



 

The bicycles of stupidity

Some of you are stupid and it's you stupid people we're going to focus on. We've decided you need cheering up. To make you feel less stupid than you are, we’re going to show you some stupid bicycles. When you see how stupid these bicycles are, you will immediately feel less stupid than you actually are. There's no need to thank us, just enjoy:

The bicycles of stupidly

 

One of these statements is not true but which one?

Time for a game boys and girls. Your mission - which of the following is untrue:

1) On June 11, 1963, Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc, assumed the lotus position in the middle of a Saigon street and proceeded to light himself on fire. As he burned to death, more than 300 fellow monks warded off police so that he could finish what he had set out to do. The monk's self-immolation was a statement of protest against South Vietnam president Ngo Dinh Diem, a Catholic, US backed leader accused of repressing Buddhists.

2) '”He who isn’t sickened by the lying, cheating, underhanded hand of Thierry Henry, is French” Bill Y 2010

3) There is no naked woman on the horses head:

I,Phone

Jill Y insisted we watch that Will Smith film I,Robot. It wasn't really my cup of coffee. I prefer deep and meaningful films like Attack of the killer tomatoes. I didn't like I,Robot at all and when I heard there was a part 2, I yawned for a total of 23 minutes. For those who care, it'll be released sometime in 2012. If you're a fan of the film, you can always go and watch that computer guy and his film. It looks pretty similar:

Word

Rappers get everything these days. They get to wear ridiculous amounts of oversized gold, make ridiculous amounts of money and prance about saying ridiculous things in their ridiculous way. According to a study conducted by It’s good to mock, rappers were responsible for giving Microsoft one of it’s major success stories:

The legend of legends

There’s been so much written about the Icelandic volcano so we’ll keep this brief. The volcano is starting to chill out and for this we are grateful but who knows how and why the volcano has finally started to behave itself? It’s good to mock is here to answer these very questions and we can tell you that it’s a win, win, win situation for all involved. What if we told you that we’ve found a way to chill the volcano and get rid of two of the most annoying little brats on this planet? Feast your eyes on the ancient legend of the Icelandic volcano:

Head Shop

At It’s good to mock, we have some strange thoughts running through our collective heads. Jill Y has been working on a secret experiment for the last number of years and I think we can finally let you, the good people who matter most, in on the secret. First, a little background:

One day, a couple of years ago, I asked for a very individual coffee:













At precisely the same time, in another city hundreds of miles away, Jill Y asked for a very individual coffee:












The above pictures are not Jill Y and I but I think you get the picture. The next day, Jill Y called and explained that she had an individual coffee, the night before and that she had a seriously sore head when she woke up. I told her that I too, had had an individual coffee the previous day and that my head was not happy when I woke up. I can’t remember the exact conversation but we discussed how cool it would be to be able to go to a shop and buy a new head. If you could buy a new head, you could do wonders for humanity as well as hangovers.

Lots of stuff has happened since that conversation and Jill Y has become something of a super scientist. We’re just about to go public on the major breakthrough and open a Head Shop. We’ve have been working on marketing the product and think we’ve up with the perfect advertisement:

I’m sure I used to have more fingers than this

It’s happened again. Due to the recession, we’ve been forced to use our smarts to come up with some ways to make some extra cash. Jill Y didn’t like the idea of sleeping with other men for money although my mate ’Sugartastic Daddy John’, tells me that it’s quite a lucrative business.

I decided to try my hand at selling bibles and visited a supposedly reputable website to buy a massive amount of said books. The books arrived quickly enough but I didn’t exactly get what I was looking for. It turns out that one persons idea of a bible, can be different to someone else's. I’m now the proud owner of 600 new ‘Lolcat Bibles’

Hungry and holy

We recently had one of our many discussions about stuff. Jill Y thinks that people have lost track of the teachings of Confucius and any grasp of ethical goodness. I didn’t understand anything she said and had the theme tune from ‘Batman’ in my head for about an hour, while she said lots of big words. I know she mentioned something about religion and fast food but I think I fell asleep at that stage. When I woke up, this picture was on the table and I felt both hungry and holy:

It’s good to mock presents… another idea which will not catch on

Sometimes I think we’re just too cool. Please don’t think that It’s good to mock merely updates you with tales of mockery for we function on many levels. Every now and again, we suggest a way to greatly improve the world. The suggestion is never heeded and the world is never greatly improved but something like that will never stop us trying. Imagine this:

You have a newborn baby. You like the baby and naturally want the best for your pride and joy. You’ve learned so much since your other kid was born and now is the time to put all that experience into practice, but wait…

You have a major concern. You caught your other kid (lets call her Lill Y) smoking when she was young and you definitely don’t want the newborn to take up such a disgusting habit….

A baby receives nourishment via breast or bottle and our idea is based on this fact. Rather than filling the bottle with milk, you fill it with cigarettes. When you feed the bottle of cigarettes to the baby, you need to be prepared to clean up what baby throws up. The idea is that the baby becomes immediately sick and will forever remember that it was the cigarettes that tasted so bad and caused the convulsions. After this, your baby may grow up and try a cigarette but the memory of the ‘sick day’, will quickly erase any doubt that this is a good idea. I feel that we need to show a picture of a bottle of cigarettes at this point:

Fresh Prints

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, is one of those shows I’ve never watched but I know a lot of people who speak very highly of it. I’m reliably informed that the series follows Las Vegas criminalists as they use physical evidence to solve grisly murders in an unusually graphic drama. It’s good to mock, thought this sounded interesting until we picked up a spade and began to dig a little deeper. Maybe we’re massively confused , but it looks more like a comedy from where we’re sitting:

Holy crap Batman, my mocking senses don’t seem to be working

Something’s not right with the world today. It’s good to mock is not trying to get all serious, deep or meaningful so please don’t think that we’re starting to develop a social conscience. Having said that, something’s not right with this picture:

Apologise in advance, we do

Today's opening line was going to be:

There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils.

We thought about it for a moment and realised that not everyone might appreciate a good pun (shame on you) as much as we do at It’s good to mock HQ. And so, we arrive at a compromise. Focus your eyes on the following picture for it contains words as well as image:

Truth fears no questions

Honesty – telling the truth.

As far back in time as when Batman was on television, people have been using honesty in a deceitful way.

Dis + honesty = Dishonesty.

We have only to look at Batman himself, to see this in action:



Lots has happened since Batman was on television and we have plenty of role models to look up to like Tiger Woods, Barney Stinson and Homer Simpson but perhaps the greatest role model of all, is the ordinary, honest father:

Get the mock out of here

It’s good to mock has two purposes.
In no particular order, they are:

1) To mock to the the best of our ability.

2) To remove Bon Jovi from the realm of consciousness.

We are realists and realise that number 2 is something which is not going to happen overnight so we work hard and persevere at it. Number 1 is a different story altogether. Let us turn our attention to evangelism and get the mock out of here:

 
 

These days, you can get anything on the open market

Have you ever seen that programe? The one where people send in videos of their pets doing funny things? The clips that they show, earn the sender some cash. We fancied some cash but don’t own a pet so I went to see my mate ‘Sugartastic Daddy John’ and asked if he had any pets we could borrow. Sugartastic couldn’t help us out as pets are not really his thing. When we asked for his help he said something along the lines of '”I’m a pimp, Brother Y. Women I can do but animals are not my scene”. Then he hiply, swaggered away like something out of a ‘Shaft’ film. We were just about to give up hope until we came across a classified ad in the local paper and there, before out very eyes was the exact thing we were looking for:

Google

Some people think Google is running their life? Some people are right:

File sharing is not piracy

Some dictionary I digested, described ‘Piracy’ as:

The unauthorized use of material that is covered by copyright law, in a manner that violates one of the copyright owner's exclusive rights, such as the right to reproduce or perform the copyrighted work, or to make derivative works

It’s good to mock describes ‘File Sharing’ as:

Sharing files

To avoid confusion between the two, look at the stuff underneath these words:

After what we’ve witnessed, we decided it’s time for a change

It’s good to mock has just returned form a trip to France and we’ve changed. We’ve become vegetarians. We witnessed something over there that we will never forget. Sometimes you see something that makes you question the way you’ve been living your life and forces you to evaluate your actions. The trip to France was one such occasion. We felt sick as we watched, first hand, the devastation and carnage that occurs when you choose to eat meat. When you look at what we have to show you, a lot of you are going to become vegetarians. We’re going to have some lentil stew now but before we go, feast your eyes on the devastating truth:

  

The argument and the flipside

There are a couple of sides to every story and usually we present our own take on something, dress it up and attempt to make it somehow funny. Today, It’s good to mock is breaking with tradition and will present two sides of the one story. You can then go and make your own mind up and we can all go to the pub and be happy.
                                                                                                        Lolcats – some might say they are messing up the internets with their own version of broken language. Others wouldn’t say this at all. We thought we would get the perspective from those who know best, the Lolcats themselves.
