Lionel Wright should be crucified, because he’s a filthy queer

I was delighted to see Iran’s attempt at making the world’s largest ostrich sandwich, as a distraction from ‘being run by Islamist loonies’ and ‘vying with the Yanks to be the people who start WW3′. So I was distraught to see that they failed.

But Alex Armstrong’s gag on The New Viz, Have I Got News For You, that ‘on the plus side they do still hold the record for hanging homosexuals’ helped temper my distress at the news.

Ridiculous nonce Lionel Wright is apparently so gibberingly mad that, on hearing Mr Armstrong’s gag, he complained to the rozzers that it was, like, well homophobic, like.

Now, I’m no fucking Daily Mail reader, as regular visitors may have noted. But despicable, loathsome, subhuman pieces of excrement like Mr Wright are precisely the kind of bastards that provide equally nasty pieces of work like Richard Littlejohn, et al, with their excuses for the whole ‘hell in a handbasket, you can’t call a nigger a nigger anymore, your nan would be locked up by the PC brigade’ usually-nonsense routine that they thrive upon. Like Julie Bindel, they belong on the ‘these people are fucking well not with us – just cos they’re queer doesn’t stop them being fucking fascists’ side of the spectrum.

It’s unlikely the rozzers will do anything based on Mr Wright’s campaign, which is just as well. But it’s highly likely that his fuckwitted complaint, particularly in the ‘oooh, offence’ Mary-Whitehouse-wet-dream that we’re living in, will have yet another a dampening impact on media people’s perspective on free speech.

Solely on those grounds, if any retarded cavemen with a smaller-than-average number of grandparents are planning to head out queer-bashing at any point, I’d strongly urge them to target Mr Wright; I’ll chip in GBP50 for your defence and copies of Mein Kampf all round if you give it a go…

Oh, and this is also retarded nonsense. Whilst I accept the point that Georgina Baillie’s lifestyle has fuck-all to do with selling Playboy pants to 12-year-olds [*], the suggestion that Brand and Ross, by discussing whether or not Brand had fucked a porn star, were invading her privacy is rampantly ridiculous.

[*] although I did meet the former UK merchandising director for Playboy this week, who told me he’d met Jonathan Ross and thought he was a filthy pervert. Now them’s some credentials…

Bad privacy-invading comedian! Bad!

Via Popbitch, here is some spanking porn featuring Georgina Baillie (c’mon, do you seriously think there’s even a possibility this’ll be safe for work?)

That Brand/Ross tape

From the “ooooooooh, outrage” Daily-Maily reporting of the story, I’d assumed the tape wouldn’t be funny.

The transcript, however, was laugh-out-loud hilarious – not because of the ‘he fucked your daughter’ reference, but because of the brilliant ‘doomed attempt to stop digging’ lines afterwards:

RB: “Oh no that’s over for me. I’m never going to be king rat in the Variety Club. Jonathan I think we’ve made the situation worse.”

JR: “Who’d have thought two people like us could possibly have made the situation worse.”

RB: “How could we with all our skills, our social skills, our talents our experiences.”

JR: “Our intentions were pure.”

RB: “You know the only way we can make this better don’t you?”

JR: “Let’s phone him again. Let’s leave a nice message.”

RB: “Listen, we’ve got to make it better. We’ll phone Andrew Sachs back. We’ve got to stop upsetting Manuel. This time Jonathan I’m convinced we can make it better.”

JR: “What should we not mention, the war?”

RB: “Don’t mention the war, don’t mention his granddaughter. Don’t say: ’You only ever played Manuel’… Don’t mention The Bill in a negative way. Yes! We’ll just sing to him. I’ll make up something as I go along.”

JR: “I’ll be Bing Crosby to your David Bowie.”

RB: “I’ve always seen our relationship as a Christmas-themed hit

and:

JR: “Let’s use up the rest of his tape, this time with a heartfelt and sincere apology… Pretend you’re Gordon Brown and make a beautiful speech rescuing the country from the credit crunch and rescue him from the inner turmoil you’ve caused by saying that you jumped on a relative.”

RB: “Yes, you’re right Jonathan, you’re right. Only by doing the exact thing that we’ve done three times already can we make the situation better.”

JR: “If you learn one thing from history, it’s do not repeat your mistakes.”

RB: “Don’t repeat them.”

JR: “So let’s do it right this time.”

RB: “Thank God Jonathan.”

JR: “Maybe this time… I want to do the song this time.”

RB: “You’re not doing the lyrics. You’ll balls it up. And can’t do backing it’s not in my nature.”

Read the whole thing. If you don’t laugh, you’re a glass statue of a humourless monkey.

Update: I’d forgotten this one. Absolute fucking genius: if you don’t think that phoning a ‘shop a sex offender line’ and trying to chat up the operator is funny, you’ve genuinely had every element of a sense of humour surgically removed. I wish I didn’t find Russell Brand’s personal appearance and speaking manner so intensely annoying, because his work is comedy gold – and pisses off *exactly* the right people.

Free speech idiocy

A stupid quote from the CiF comments (shock! horror!):

A hate-filled anti-Semite might, for example, think that freedom of speech gives him/her the right to spout reams of malicious gloating over the fate of those who died in the Holocaust, and to do this within the vicinity and hearing of people who are Jewish.

It absolutely fucking does mean that. If you think the unpleasant conduct above should be illegal, then you are a despicable and pathetic excuse for a human being, and I hope your children are horribly murdered by demented psychopaths who then force-feed you their corpses…

Everyone should have the right to say appalling and offensive things. If you don’t believe that, your opinion is worthless.

God will punish you for your sins

I felt sad about the death of Geoffrey Perkins, creator of Mornington Crescent, first producer of the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, writer for Harry Enfield when he was funny, first producer of Father Ted, and all-round excellent comedy man.

Then, I read this paragraph of the poor man’s obit:

His credits as executive producer at the BBC included [...] My Hero, 2 Pints of Lager [... and] he also co-produced both series of Ben Elton’s The Thin Blue Line.

The tribunal at Nuremburg was willing to accept that Albert Speer was a misguided idiot who – despite being a good man of amazing accomplishments – blinded himself to the evil that he worked to accomplish. On the same grounds, I’m willing to pray for the soul of Mr Perkins.

But I hope there’s at least a fucking purgatory. And that they show non-stop fucking BBC3…

Heartbreaking brilliance

This is a remarkably moving story of porn disposal. NSFWish.

Parlez-vous ‘con stupide’?

If not, here is a superb glossary, encompassing nearly all of the stupid things that morons believe…

The Awards

I’m not bitter about not winning anything; fuck it, in another life I was the king of blogs.

I’m just amazed that thick, inept, illiterate cunt Dizzy Thinks (the second-most inappropriate ‘thinking’ based blogname in the world, the first-most being religious fundamentalist idiot Bel is Thinking) won a ‘would be the second-best blog to be turned into a book’ award.

I accept that blogbooks suck; two people who I very much like and respect have compiled blogbooks that were, in both cases, dull wankery for nobody who wasn’t a blogger themself. Nonetheless, the tedious ramblings of an IT-ist without any comprehension of politics, literature, philosophy, comedy or economics strike me as significantly less good than either.

[also, Wat Tyler of Burning Our Money fame, who won an award for Economics, is a dull lying fucktard who knows about as much about economics or accounting as I do about lizard biology. Which is very little. Maybe I should set up a blog about lizard biology which tells lies about lizards and blames Gordon Brown for everything that's wrong in the lizard world, then I'd win awards for best lizard-related blog...]

Cunting rozzers

I don’t always agree with DK, but this is spot on. Read, oppose, stone the policemen of Redruth to death, etc.

Oooh, oooh, oooh!

PDF operates an equal opportunities policy of offensiveness. If a fucking dickhead compares Labour to the Nazis, we call him a fucking dickhead. If a fucking dickhead compares climate change denialists to Josef Fritzl, we call him a fucking dickhead (note: the Bishop of Stafford is a fucking dickhead).

And if an Australian TV channel points out to kids that they’re using ten times the resources of the average third world citizen, and does so by the comedically robust means of a “when ought you to die?” calculator, we salute them. This is entirely appropriate: everyone in the west should be thoroughly aware of how fucking lucky they are to be as rich as they fucking are, and equally be aware that there is no way in hell the world could support the lifestyles we currently have for its whole population; failure to appreciate these facts is a sign of rampant idiocy and self-centredness bordering on the autistic; and the belief that it’s wrong to point these facts out to kids in a way that will shock them and stick in their minds is somewhere between Victorian and moronic.

However, one thing that we don’t like is hypocrisy. And as Justin points out, the hypocrisy of right-wing swearbloggers after the Bishop of Stafford’s remarks certainly counts…
