Post of the Year 2010 Now Online

[patiirc]

I was drawing comparison to the fact that two BBC presenters have died at home withing 8 years who happened to be gay... and the issue is where?

 

In the fact that you're finding any rhyme or reason in that. What is there to see there? What were you trying to suggest with the comparison? The BBC is a big company, 8 years is a long time, lots of people are gay, and lots of people die in their houses.

 

Okay, my writing is shite! This has been established else where. However, the point that I was trying to make and failing because i didnt embellish it, was that if you are or were a Male TV presenter for the BBC around the turn of the millenium then their are lots of 'personal demons' that will cause havoc to your career or kill you. The fact that the presenter is gay really increases the chances of bad stuff happening, 5/8th of the list below are gay, so in this case it is justified as highlighting it as some kind of 'cross to bear'

 

 

Off the top of me head, since Richard Bacon's Coke Episode c.1998

 

There has been:-

 

Christopher Price's sudden death

Kristian Digby's sudden death

Mark Speights suicide

Ray Gosling admitting killing one of his former lovers in a mercy killing

Hardeep Singh Kohli inapprpiate behaviour in the Green Room of the One show

Richard Quest's methaphetamine bust ( though Iam not sure how long hes been with CNN

Nigel Wrench Rapist

 

Ive probably missed loads, but basically, if you are gay and want to present on the BBC, then stay the hell away, as its likely things will go horribly wrong, was the point I was trying to make

[Astro Hollywood]

I keep meaning to buy Frantic Planet Mainly to read whilst strangling myself in a cupboard.

 

The only reason I started writing was to have one of my books listed in the news as an item found next to the body of someone who'd wanked themselves to death.

 

That, or spotted in the background on a shelf or counter top in slightly grim amateur porn pictures.

 

Still waiting for both.

So what you're saying is this really does smash the happy ever after myth about Civil Partnerships?

This thread has given me a warm fuzzy feeling.

I think I can arrange the second one in the next three months. I'll have to see if my mate Sleazy Phil is still in business, though.

I'm going to nominate another Family Guy PMSL post, from the Same Sex Marriages thread:

 

The point is that it doesn't matter if you say you're not homophobic, because your attitude is homophobic. And that's really not up for debate; it's just a fact.

When same sex marriages were first made legal , in the UK . It was announced on the radio as i was travelling in my ( gay ) mates car . His exact response ,was " why on earth would anyone want to do that ? ".So , is my ( gay ) friend homophobic , too ?

 

Oh, I had you down as a gay-basher, until you mentioned you had gay friends, now I understand I was wrong, and that you're actually quite down with the gays, and not a gayist as I originally thought.

Are you being sarcastic ?

 

Yeah... You got me.

 

Actually made me spit out my tea that one. Simple, but hilarious.

[tiger_rick]

This one from on-topic made me laugh:

 

Fucking hell, a Christian tramp stamp. Top marks, Magique. Do blokes ask what the design is?

 

Very few blokes have had the privilege of seeing it, to be honest. My ex absolutely hated it though. In fact, he always hated that I was such a big fan of Christian. I have no idea why, it was almost like he was jealous or something. The man had major insecurity issues. He once asked me if I ever thought about Christian while we were having sex. I said, 'Don't be stupid, of course I don't... it's Jericho that I think about when we're having sex.' He didn't think that was very funny. Just as well, since I wasn't actually joking!

[Jaffa]

I'd like to nominate:

 

Of course Cody's gay.

 

He wouldn't have a brother like Goldust and a polka-dot wearing dad without taking it up the arse a couple of times.

Right. Glad we've established the point you were trying to make. As I suspected, it's absolutely ridiculous. It's NOT likely things will go wrong. It's coincidence.

[Chest Rockwell]

Not necessarily.. I don't know all the facts, but just to throw this out there theoretically - how many off them were openly gay? Was there an inner conflict because of their lifestyle choices and the public 'clean cut' image they had to portray for their job?

 

There's at least a possibility of a connection in the trend that you're dismissing as a coincidence that you're overlooking in your zeal to condemn patdfb.

Once or twice, I would have agreed with you, that it was maybe coincidence but 5/8?

 

Edit: Chest Afaik those mentioned are/were all openly gay, including Nigel Wrench

I really liked this one from the "If you could book any angle ever" thread:

 

Mine happens now in TNA, Upset at being on a losing streak and getting buried Christopher Daniels asks Eric Bischoff for 2 weeks off, Bisch grants his request, later in the show we see Daniels talking to So Cal Val, he tells her he's got 2 weeks off, what are you going to do she asks, Well says Daniels, I've always wanted to go to Egypt...

 

The next week on Impact we see Daniels in Egypt looking at the sights (pyramids and shit) and he sees a mysterious scarab in the sand, he picks it up and his eyes glow (this storyline is so awesome).

 

Next week we see a vignette of Daniels in the airport arriving back in America but he's dressed in robes with an Egyptian beard cover thing on, he's being rude and dismissive to everyone also he's talking in ancient Egyptian (this is sick)

 

Next week on Impact we see Daniels Talking to Eric Bischoff in his office, he's in robes and he's being aggressive, listen Daniels Bischoff says, Daniels slaps him and shouts Teth Amon! (this is his new name) and walks out.

After Daniels walks out Bischoff looks furious and says to Hulk Hogan (who just walked in) Hulk if Daniels thinks he can treat me like that he's got another thing coming, I'm going to put him in a handicap match tonight against Matt Morgan and Hernandez!

 

The match is the main event and Daniels comes out to some Egyptian sounding music wearing a gold robe and headdress and carrying a snake staff he is announced as Teth Amon and beats Morgan and Hernandez cleanly, he then goes on a massive winning streak, great eh?

[PowerButchi]

This one tickled me.

 

I'd be inclined to point out that you look more like a vaseline coated Jabba the Hut with teenagers Van Dyke, you fellater of geriatic testicles.

KiaStevens1977uk2002, then?

 

This has to be worth a mention.
