ans Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You didn't think to read THIS thread before you posted it then? Just blindly added a reply, ignoring the post two above yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Wait, so you lifted a gag from the PBF thread which was already posted in this thread and you thought this would be amusing how? I just saw it on the PBF page and headed back to delete it - actually. ..and BTW it was the 21,917th time it had been lifted on the interweb. How dare you. That was an original joke. I was just cool enough to release it into the wild. Free the interwebthingy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ah well Looks like some good might have come out of it after all. If this is the calibre of bands supposed to be headlining the Bay Festival, then it doesn't look like it will be up to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You've got to admire the way the Daily Mail have turned this fella into a cause celebre of the left-field media types, in the space of an afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ex-boyzone Star Found Dead, Stephen Gately dead at 33 "Boyzone Star"????? That's like claiming The Spice Girls are somehow "talented". And we all know what a joke that is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 *fewer* Rory McGrath The excellent Brooker's take on the appalling Moir's piece in the even more appalling Daily Wail. Edited to add Brooker is just about to start on HIGNFY. Byeeee.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 HIGNFY is so behind the times talking about Trafigura when Twitter's moved on to Jan Moir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Errrr... well Declan I think you'll find Trafigura is yesterday's news. You know, when HIGNFY was recorded. Twitter is sort-of real time. There you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thanks for the explaining the point I was making PK, maybe one of the slower users didn't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I read the article in The Mail and found nothing in the least bit "homophoebic" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I did. It is most certainly homophobic. A rather pointless meandering about whether it was a natural death or not - even though the doctors say it was, yet the columnist then make some bizarre comments on the matter of same-sex relationships and his lifestyle. She is referring to his homosexuality in some way being the cause of his death because of her ideas of some lifestyle. What a fucking dickhead she is.

Stavros Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 That's like claiming The Spice Girls are somehow "talented". And we all know what a joke that is.... In fairness to the Spice Girls, I did hear that one or two of them could put their feet up behind their ears which has got to be a talent useful for at least one thing. I did. It is most certainly homophobic. A rather pointless meandering about whether it was a natural death or not - even though the doctors say it was, yet the columnist then make some bizarre comments on the matter of same-sex relationships and his lifestyle. She is referring to his homosexuality in some way being the cause of his death because of her ideas of some lifestyle. What a fucking dickhead she is. Do you not think that you might be reading what you 'want' to read as opposed to reading her views impartially. It doesn't appear to make any hetrosexual people feel that she is being homophobic and I suggest that you might be biased in your opinion of her comments towards same sex relationships and his lifestyle.

Declan Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Stavros, there are thousands of Hetrosexual people that have expressed their contempt for that article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
