McCann, A Household Name

IRONSIDE, once again, found a delicious site, where you can, and SHOULD buy McCann mugs, t-shirts and magnets.

We transcribe its contents below, although, for not agreeing and thinking it totally distasteful and absolutely out of context, we withdrew the unfortunate comparison, which we condemn, between Jade Goody and the Evil Couple:

 1. McCann (by mamboo Sep 21, 2007) To act with lethal irresponsibility towards one's children Leaving three children alone (7yrs and 3 years each) in a holiday flat in portugual whilst you swan off to sample a meal - just from the point of view of the well known problems that these holiday flats have with gas / fire safety standards and the number of gassings that have happened this way - let alone the fact one of the children was taken you'd have to be doing a McCann right?

 2. McCann (by vix_derby Mar 16, 2008) To make money and become a celebrity on the back of a tragedy. Using the newspapers for a purpose and then claiming to be hounded. To expose ones children/pet to dangers and then state that you are a good parent/owner. To blame everyone else for your errors for the purpose of 'damage limitation'.

Yeah they got cash coming in from everywhere and they still want more - they are pulling a 'McCann' 


3. mccann (by madmen Mar 18, 2008) “To mccann” - is a new verb ” I mccanned my glasses” - means that I broke my expensive glasses by mistake, hid them and told everyone that my glasses were stolen from me, and now I suffer because I can’t see.


teacher:kitty!where's your homework? 
kitty:i'd got pissed and mccann it!  


4. McCann (by moonbizzle Aug 27, 2009) The act of ditching or leaving someone behind Sh*t jade, 

Why did you leave me in the villa? Because you are a c*m dumpster jack, i had to mccann you. 


5. Mccann (by h0b0n0b Mar 10, 2010) Doing a mccann ( to do a runner from a foreign country whilst leaving an abducted child to their fate and claiming innocence whilst refusing to co-operate with the police)

The father claimed his sleeping child was abducted by a gang wielding guns and grenades as he was about to get into a taxi to fly home to the UK . The gang beat and tortured the family and then demanded £100,000 ransom. the father then left pakistan claiming innocence and cannot now be found. He did a McCann - legging it before the cops paid him a visit with shiny bracelets
