Sometimes you've just gotta get stuff off your chest. Equally (and except in the case of certain mammary reduction procedures), it can be good to witness others getting stuff off their chests. So in the spirit of purging, why not add The Rant to your reading list? Founded as a ‘side project' by Paul Meats of Was Not Me and ‘Silent G' from Idle 55, this publication is a beautifully illustrated ode to complaint. If you sign up it will arrive regularly in your face, like a vexatious litigant. Meates says, "it tackles the big issues such as ‘how Walt Disney stuck his hand up the Muppets arses and stole their souls'".

Issue #1 asks, what will become of The Muppets' distinct personalities? "Children all over the world have had some form of contact with the Muppets and they want rainbow connections. They want to be easy and they need to be green." True. And the plot is thickening like a pricey brand of poster glue. Have a look at what's happened here.

Join Meates and co at their launch this Saturday, grab a drink and tell them what you think sucks the big one.
