I mean, I’m surprised there was even any question about this: All respect to Captain America. He’s a badass. But when it comes to badassitude, the Master Chief not only broke the mould, he broke the scale. (Literally. Dude weighs 1,000lbs in full...

In which an all-but-self-confessed Beta male calls for feminism to “re-brand” itself so as to get more blokes on-side: My name is Martin and I hate the word “feminism”. I’ve been waiting the best part of 20 years to make that dark confession, and, by God,...

Supermodels in absurdly expensive bras. Need I say more? There are lots more where those came from. And if you have to ask me what the point is of all this, I’m going to ask you to check your pants to see if there’s anything down there. Share this:...

Now this is what I call an epic workout: Of course, it’s still not nearly as badass as the original which inspired it: 300, by the way, is one of my favourite movies of all time. It’s unapologetically non-PC, deeply offensive when viewed through certain...
