Stephen Gately

[Guest alex]

I thought was pretty disgusting like. She's quite clearly linking his death to his being gay when as far as I can see it has fuck all to do with that. The columnists in the Daily Mail are an absolute joke in general though.

Hence the reason for the lack of need for debate on here about it, iyam. The words Daily and Mail are enough to work out why it was written, and for what mindset of reader.

The daily mail is so shit. Heres a new article about how Rod Stewart has penchant for Ferraris and has just bought a new car . . . . a ferrari gallardo apparently

And never was it more richly deserved.

 

Scotland Yard have confirmed that they are investigating a complaint against the Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir following an article that insinuated that the death of Boyzone star Stephen Gately was not "natural."

EVERYONE TO RUN EVERYTHING BY STEPHEN FRY

 

EVERYONE is to run everything by Stephen Fry first just to make sure it's okay, it was confirmed last night

 

As Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir was torn apart and devoured by three of Mr Fry's favourite snow leopards, corporations and government departments, as well as millions of terrified individuals, have subscribed to his online approval service via TwitPiss.

 

Emma Bradford, a sales executive from Hatfield, said: "The last thing anyone wants is to be thought of as the sort of person Stephen Fry wouldn't invite to his lovely Norfolk home for the weekend along with Richard Dawkins, Emma Thompson and Alan Davies.

 

"I always imagine how funny it would be if Alan Davies said something really obvious about the thing we had all been talking about and then Stephen would ring a little bell and we would all point at him and go 'Oh Alan!'"

 

Meanwhile David Cameron, a 43 year-old leader of the Conservative Party from Witney in Oxfordshire, said: "I have just sent Stephen my list of thoughts and actions for today. Fingers crossed!"

 

But Bill McKay, an architect from Grantham, said: "There's a very long queue at the Stephen Fry window so I'm going to send my thoughts and actions to David Mitchell.

 

"And if he's full up I suppose I'll have to try that Charlie Brooker instead."

 

Margaret Gerving, a retired headmistress from Surrey, added: "Stephen does not approve of my brand of tea so I'm going to have to do something about that, but he is extremely proud that I chose Direct Line for my horse insurance.

 

"And I've also written a blog about how all the homos want to fuck everybody to death.

 

"Hopefully he won't be too cross!"

 

Fair point, like.

is it?

 

I know dm is basically a joke news website but it has a kind bitterness to it that people actually agree with those who have spoken out against moirs idiocy as if they've called a press conference to outline their outrage rather than being paid by whoever for their social commentary

[Park Life 71]

Fry would make a good agony Aunt thinking about it...

I took it more as a cumulative comment on Stephen Fry's omnipresence than a real satire on the Moir case, but I see where you're coming from.

The Fry worshipping has gone a bit over the top since he started doing QI. I think most people don't realise that he's reading an autocue.

 

I'm sure he is very intelligent and witty and all that but it's getting a bit ridiculous now.

I used to work with a lad who went to see a couple of QIs being filmed and he reckoned there was good and bad from Fry - some of the stuff off camera showed he was as intelligent and witty as people like to think but he also pulled a couple of complete strops which made him look like an arsehole.

I always assumed all those panel type shows were heavily rehearsed. Btw, did anyone ever catch Stephen Fry (more or less) declaring his undying love for Goran Ivanesevic on BBC. Goran was like "Who the fuck are you?"

Just like your average person then really.

You would have thought that most people watching it would too, but the irony is that the majority of viewers of an oh-so-clever panel show are actually as thick as shit.
