The Chucky bath bomb, made by Loquita Bath and Body, is based on the demonic character in the Child's Play horror film series of the 80s and 90s. The business owner explains: "I was thoroughly mesmerised by these bath and body companies catering to the 'goth' style and as muchas I love the dark or obscure I didn't feel like it screamed 'ME!' So, I decided to create bombs that were nostalgic and that I could identify with."
Must be over on Maim Street
The Suffolk County Council has decided to get rid of the road signs that warned motorists, "Cats Eyes Removed". Too many people, especially tourists, thought the signs were warning of the imminent blinding of felines, instead of referring to the reflective road markers. The new signs will read, "Caution - Road Studs Removed". (Source: express.co.uk)
Re-name that politician
We've had "Rogernomics", "Ruthanasia", "Piggy Muldoon", "Helengrad", so no surprises that "the Jacinda effect" and "Jacindarella" have caught on, but what other headline groaners have captured the imagination of a nation? "Paula Benefit" (also, "Pullya Benefit"), "Double Dipper from Dipton", "Crusher Collins" (now "Blocker Collins" due to her lack of vim for crushing more than the one car and her subsequent penchant for blocking people on Twitter). Blogs on the right have coined "Taxcinda", which is a vast improvement on "Angry Andrew", which failed to take hold, probably because the man is hardly a scathing ball of fury. They should've gone with, "the Little effect". "Ardernageddon" is a bit of a mouthful, "Billshit" (said with a cough to cover the expletive) ... some "Winsteria" could be whipped up in the rest homes before election day and there must be something pithy in development for Gareth Morgan (although pigs and politics haven't made good bedfellows in the past) with or without lipstick.
