Dead man bitterly criticised for choice of funeral music

MOURNERS are rightly ripping into the music a deceased man requested for his funeral.

Stephen Malley left instructions about which songs he wanted to be played, but grief-stricken family and friends feel his shit choice of music is ruining this incredibly sad day. 

Cousin Emma Bradford said: “Fix You by Coldplay was playing as we all filed into the church. I was livid. I can’t stand that song, or Yellow. It’s ruining the whole funeral vibe.

“The vicar apologetically explained that this bedwetter’s anthem was one of Stephen’s last wishes. So thanks a lot for making us listen to this trite shit, Steve. At least you can’t hear it.”

Lifelong friend Joe Turner said: “I’ve known Stephen since school and we spent our teenage years getting into good bands like Nirvana. So I’m disgusted that I’m expected to sing Let It Be, a bland pseudo-hymn from the Beatles’ worst album.

“You think you know someone, but there’s another side to them. If it’s Angels next I’m going to come back tonight and vandalise his grave.”

Stephen’s brother Paul said: “I always looked up to my big brother, but Always Look on the Bright Side of Life for the exit music? I mean, I’m sad he’s dead but what a f**king cliché.”

Big fat topless men doing wonders for your body confidence

THE sight of horribly out of shape men walking around topless is massively boosting everyone’s self-esteem, it has emerged.

Herds of huge, sweaty blokes roaming Britain’s streets and parks in the hot weather have made Britons feel infinitely better about their own underwhelming physiques in comparison.

Onlooker Martin Bishop said: “At first I thought big fat topless men were nothing more than disgusting oafs with no regard for public decency. Then I realised they’re providing an important service.

“By trudging around with their glistening, wobbling blubber on show they’re lowering the body image bar for everyone. I’ve never felt so comfortable in my slightly pudgy skin in my entire life, and I owe it to them.”

Fellow fat man appreciator Nikki Hollis said: “If it weren’t for grossly overweight men getting their sweat-slicked beer bellies out, women would be so insecure they’d spend the summer wearing baggy sweaters or hessian sacks. 

“When you see young women sunbathing wearing next to nothing, you’ve got big fat topless men to thank. They’re the unsung heroes of the season.

“Why not show your appreciation by buying them a couple of burgers? Get ones with loads of cheese and bacon. We want them to stay in shape.”
