2011 was definitely a year, there’s no getting away from that.
And right from the start, when the Ali Baba nations of the Middle East started acting up and that nuclear earthquake hit Japan causing an outbreak of Godzillas, right up to the sad death of Britain’s premier suspected kiddly-diddler and entertainment behemoth, Sir James Savile, ITTODBTBIA has been there to report on it all.
Well … I say ‘all’. This blogging business has become a bit redundant in most quarters now you don’t have to make any effort whatsoever courtesy of the infantile Twitter and its retarded brother Facebook. But no matter. Here’s 2011 …
January

The year gets off to a roaring start when the sandal-waving maniacs of the Middle East stop having a go at us for stealing all their oil and instead turn their attention to that pack of gangsters wot rule their awful countries with diamond-encrusted iron fists. Kicking off proceedings is Tunisia, where thousands of lonely single men who spend most of their lives sitting in dirty bedsits masturbating over images of Princess Leia in a bikini have to cut short their arrested-development Star Wars holidays and evacuate the country before the local nutters carve up their faces and their plastic light sabers with actual grown-up weapons.
February

The one and only month of the year that doesn’t feel the need to outstay its welcome sees the resignation of Egypt’s beloved military dictator, Shaznay Mubarak. Shaznay – who is probably best remembered as the black one off of All Saints (the female East 17) – agrees to step down on the strict understanding that she will be replaced by an identical military dictator who will promise to change absolutely nothing and answer none of the angry public’s demands. After days of intense negotiation, Melanie Blatt agrees to take the vacant throne.
March

BANG! The nuclear earthquake hits Japan! As armies of Godzillas stalk the land, engulfing those vending machines that dole out children’s dirty knickers in radioactive flames, Japanese prime minister Fukuzumukumi Obiwankenobi cuts open his own guts on live television, claiming he’s failed the emperor. Jimmy Nail, who is touring the country with those two songs he wrote years ago about his shoes and his lying wife, escapes over the border into Borneo on the back of a hippopotamus.
April

Great Britain proves to the rest of the world that it’s damned if it’s going to be a part of the 21st Century by televising the marriage of the country’s future king to a tidy bit of posh crumpet called Kate Muggeridge. The bride wears a dress that makes grown women cry in the street, and the future king inexplicably refuses to have hair sewn back into his head, despite having access to an entire nation’s wealth. Meanwhile, America goes nuts for the bride’s sister’s arsehole.
May

BULLSEYE! America’s first black president, John Shaft, announces to the world that he’s personally shot Osamama Bin Laden up his goddamn ass. Shaft – aided by the A-Team, Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Rocky IV and Magnum P.I. – finds the evil Saudi maniac hiding under an expensive Western duvet watching child pornography in a decadent five star Pakistani hotel. After shooting Bin Laden in the ass and face, the president hurls the dead terrorist’s body into the sea as John Bon Jovi sings the US national anthem in the background and Afghanistan is coated in celebratory anthrax spores dyed red, white and blue to mark the occasion.
June

It’s still kicking off in the Middle East! Lunatic Libyan dictator M’waddywaddy ‘Colonel’ Gaddafi swears he’ll not go down without a fight before disappearing into a traditional Arab ‘dictator hole’ to await his grisly fate at the hands of his brutalised people. Meanwhile, as a plague of actual news breaks out around the world, Twitter occupies itself with what it hopes is the imminent death of failed Young Guns actor, Charlie Sheen.
July

The USA waves goodbye to its Space Shuttle program as Atlantis touches down for the final time at the Kennedy Space Center (their bloody spelling). The program is considered a failure as it did not usher in the promised future of living on the moon, eating roast dinners in pellet form and us all being waited on hand and foot by robot servants. In other news, Charlie Sheen fails to die horribly from a combination of cocaine and mental health issues. A disappointed Internet throws away its ‘Winning’ t-shirts in disgust.
August

As the sleet, driving wind and hail of a traditional British summer slams into the faces of the island’s bitter inhabitants, the nation’s youth shows its disdain for the Conservative government’s plans to raise tuition fees by stealing televisions and large sacks of value rice, and by setting fire to several awful areas of the country’s capital. Seeing a golden opportunity to protest at the program of public spending cuts, youngsters in other British cities join in the fun by looting track-suits and DVD players.
September

The UK again hits the news as the Leveson Inquiry into standards in the gutter press begins. Hugh Grant – who has been itching to settle scores since he was caught with his penis accidentally inside a prostitute’s mouth and that’s not right because stars of stuffy Merchant-Ivory films don’t get their particulars pleasured by tupsies, surely? – becomes the unlikely champion of a bunch of moaning celebrities who are all furious that stories that appeared about them did not benefit them financially. The gutter press, meanwhile, loses one of its most beloved editors as the Cruella De Ville-a-like Rebekah Brooks is forced to fall on her sword and retreat to her castle made of spiders and children’s tears.
October

As suspected, evil Libyan dictator M’waddywaddy ‘Colonel’ Gaddafi is found hiding in a dictator hole near his home town of Abubabu. Without stopping to think about what the bleeding-heart readers of the Guardian will make of his murder without trial, the people who Gaddafi has terrorised for forty years force a gun up his cock hole and fire bullets out of his anus. Bleeding-heart Guardian readers are, predictably, furious and angrily blame David Cameron for the dictator’s ‘murder’ on social networking sites.
November

In London, the Balls To St. Paul’s! anti-St. Paul’s Cathedral protest claims its first scalp as the church’s dean steps down. “This is a victory for the 99% of people who blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,” a smelly, dole-scrounging parasite with a dog on a string tells BBC News. Meanwhile, Charlie Sheen remains stubbornly alive.
December

It’s Christmas! And to celebrate, both Sir Jimmy Savile and Ken Russell die (not necessarily in December). Sir Jimmy, who held the world record for most expansions done on a chest-expander in two minutes until it was robbed off of him by Richard O’Sullivan, kicks the bucket first and the entire nation goes into the sort of mourning the country hasn’t witnessed since Churchill’s fifty brandies- and four hundred cigars-a-day finally caught up with him at the tender age of ninety. And then, as if Sir Jimsworth’s passing wasn’t cruel enough, robbing us all of our Christmas, long-forgotten dirty film maker Ken Russell robs us of our New Year by shuffling off and reminding us all that we’ve seen both Ollie Reed’s and Alan Bates’s sweaty nadge sacks in inglorious Technicolorâ„¢.
So that was 2011. It was, as has already been pointed out, a year.
What will this year bring? Why! Only the end of the world … if you believe the guesses of a pack of Stone Age tribals in a cave in Bongo Bongo Land, that is.
Happy (belated) New Year!
