How was 2010 for you Ian Stevenson?

Personal achievement of the year?
Staying alive.

Event of the year?
Big Brother, X-Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, oh no hang on a minute they are shit. I enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the weekend.

The thing that blew your mind in 2010?
Shit can still rise to the top.

Album of the year?
Cheryl Cole’s album, it’s not fucking fucking shit at all. Her stuff’s right up my street pet, Shit Street in Mime land. I do quite like Flying Lotus.

Exhibition of the year?
I saw a collection of cream cakes in a bakery and that was very thought provoking.

Of yours…
Now That’s What I Call Art - A collection of art drawings for the modern world.

Yeah there was this artist who does really amazing stuff and it isn’t like anyone elses. Oh what was his name… hmmm I can’t remember. Oh well never mind, the world keeps turning.

Film of the year?
The Bible Vs The Koran - The Real Judgement Day, Staring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jesus, a bright light as God and nobody as Mohammed.

Book of the year?
The Bible Vs The Koran - The Real Judgement Day. I really enjoyed imagining the special effects.

Biggest disappointment?
I spent the £10.

Thoughts for 2011?
If I combine a political view point and corporate logo, is it art?
