One the bigger scene, governments could not survive without scaring us, if you do that you'll go to prison, if you don't do that you'll go to prison. If you ask me the whole world is controlled by scaring people, how else could you get billions to toe the line?.
And that numpty being scared of a dinosaur in the office - really?
Pranking is very big with the youngsters now - not my idea of humour but it seems to be what they like.

Thanks Jem.
I always thought only Scots are called Jimmy. Like every one of them buggers. Well, at least the males.
You're right, I never enjoyed horror movies. Used to scare the crap out of me. Bad enough having horror nightmares, isn't it? No need to reinforce it with watching the scary stuff as well.

You've only got to watch a Japanese game show to see their sense of humour is totally different to ours, some the contestants are almost tortured, their horror films are very graphic, try watching "The Grudge". It must be a culture thing, also it's a growing fashion with our teens, along with anime & manga. So watch out!
