I’m offended by this bit.

Faggots are lovely.

Stolen from Twitter;

 

Simply rewrite the lyrics to be “You scumbag, you maggot, you’ve taped over Taggart”, thus both avoiding offence and retaining a mid 80s vibe.

This is just silly.

It's a Christmas classic probably being played in shops and radio stations all over the world.

But a radio station in Cleveland, Ohio has decided to remove Baby It's Cold Outside from its playlist following complaints from listeners.

Local media report that listeners said the song was inappropriate and at odds with the #MeToo movement.

But a poll on the station's Facebook page showed a majority of respondents did not want the song banned.

 

"Baby, It's Cold Outside" is just a light-hearted song about chatting someone up.  There's nothing rapey about it: persuasion is not coercion.

 

Actually, the fact that this station launched a Facebook poll makes me think it's all just a (successful) publicity stunt.  They probably never received any complaints at all.

Jameela Jamil suggesting that airbrushing pictures should be criminalised. Good job the police have nothing better to do.

Hello, I’d like to report a photoshopping in progress.

I follow her on Twitter, she talks a whole lot of sense on the pressure put on young women.

That pressure is only right considering every woman now acts like a celebrity.

I think she’s just expressed it badly. I agree with much of what she’s saying but I think that if she’d thought about it a little bit she’d have been better expressing it as a need for a code of practice.

 

On Saturday I noticed my 10 year old niece has a little bit of a belly developing. Her mum is plump and it runs in the family. I’m desperate for her not to go down the route that I’ve found myself in during my adulthood. She’s due in secondary school next year, and we all know how cruel kids can be. In fact I know what adults can be like as I’ve had my fair share of abuse, both physical with stuff like milkshakes and McDonalds being thrown at me, verbal, and just sly glances and grins between people in public. I’m not arsed as I’m pretty thick-skinned, but she’s a sensitive little mite who’s full of good and willingness to help people.

 

At the same time, I don’t want to raise it with her and have her worrying about how she looks, so I’ve decided the way forward is for me, her and her sister to don walking boots and hit some of the trails in January. They both love the outdoors and nature so that should do the trick without anything needing to be said, and won’t do my dietinging any harm.

Jameli is absolutely bang on with everything she is campaigning for in regards to the pressures put on women, especially young women. 

 

As Anubis says she’s worded it badly in terms of saying airbrushing should be criminalised. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

She laid into celebs hawking questionable diet shakes on Twitter too. She seems sound.

I was thrown out of a gig last Thursday night. The Interrupters at Leeds University. I'm standing at the very front of the moshpit with just one row of people between me and the security barrier. Some arsey mare standing in front of me kept giving me hard, purposeful elbows to the ribs. I put up with it for a bit then eventually when I'd had enough I said "Will you please stop fucking elbowing me in the ribs you stupid bitch". About 30 seconds later I'm being dragged out by two security staff. They were sound to be fair. Once I was out in the corridor I told them what had happened and they both said that they'd have probably done the same but that it's just not the done thing to refer to someone as a stupid bitch these days. Snowflake generation twats. 

 

On the flip side I'd seen around 90% of the gig anyway and I awarded myself bonus points for reaching the grand old age of 50 and still managing to get thrown out of gigs. Still got it.

 

Also, Amy Interrupter held onto my hand for about 10 seconds whilst singing "Take Back The Power".

Quite ironic getting thrown out of a gig by a band called The Interrupters. Top work Redders.

She can hold my hand too. Wow

Political correctness gone mad this.

 

 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Never heard of the cunt, but he seems not to have intended offence and seems to accept that he dropped a bollock.

 

Meh.  Live and learn, son. Live and learn.

And they're friends again now.

That Chinese credit score scheme they are going to implement is absolutely terrifying.

An interesting counter view point. In summary, “easy for her to suggest as she’s bangin”

Don't see how that is relevant at all (though she really is seriously seriously bangin) - this is the same argument that anyone wealthy that expresses left of centre political views is a virtue signalling champagne socialist - it is complete and utter bollocks.
