Planet Sad's Ridiculously Manly Film Still Of The Day

Pootling around in the archives of manliness, we found what at first sight appears to be a still from the exceptionally gritty reboot of Porridge. Turns out it's actually a film called Maximum Conviction (no, us neither), which puts together the dream team of ridiculous manliness, Steven Seagal and Stone Cold Steve Austin, along with - er, McLaren, Lukewarm and Bunny Warren, probably...

Won't Somebody Help This Poor Creature?

Hapless hound Binky Hellbeard has found himself on doggie death row for the crime of LOOKING LIKE VARG VIKERNES. The pitiful pooch told Planet Sad of his plight – “I ain’t no Black Metal Bonzo. I’ve nicked a sausage or two in my time but I ain’t never stabbed a rival musician causing him to die in his underpants nor burned down no Mediaeval churches – honest.” Any lawyers willing to defend Binky on a pro-Bonio* basis and offer him a loving forever home pending an acquittal should contact Planet Sad ASAP. We haven’t got the foggiest idea where the mutt is, but if you’re that much of a soft touch, we’re hoping you’ll be willing to take THIS off our hands. Pretty please?

*Yes, we really did sink this low.
