Earlier in the year, some kid apparently called Justin Bieber ‘a faggot’ while they were playing at a Lazer Quest or something. Of course, the shocking news here is that people still indulge in laser tag – what is this – 1995?
We, thought that, for once, Bieber should have given the little adversary a smack in the mouth for his slur, but sadly, he didn’t.
Bieber has disappointingly been cleared of assault after he was accused of hitting a 12-year-old boy. Read More >>>
There’s a lot of things you can call Justin Bieber in the name of a cheap joke, like ‘dancing foetus’ or ‘amniotic squirt’, but one thing you shouldn’t be calling people is ‘faggot’. Of course, it’s insulting to say that being gay is a negative to which you should slate people with, but more importantly, it’s really sorely lacking in any creativity.
However, Justin Bieber was met with the kind of slur that has been hitting the headlines lately for some seriously unsettling headlines.
As well you know, there’s been a spate of suicides that have resulted from people on the receiving end of homophobic abuse. This, tied in with reports about Justin Bieber being involved in something similar leaves us with the daunting task of trying to crowbar jokes into something that’s actually very serious. Count on us though dear reader, for we can poke fun at almost any situation. Read More >>>
Shia LaBeouf has a daft name, that much most will agree on. It also seems he likes to call his friends daft names to prompt them into striking him in the face.
Why ‘The Beef’ would want to be hit in the face is open to speculation – maybe he saw that Tarzan scene in the new Indy flick one too many times and felt he needed to take some small steps towards making amends. Namely, through violence. Though, let’s be honest, it would need more than a simple slap to make up for that abortion of a movie moment.
BBC Radio 1 has made the decision to censor the word 'faggot' from Kirsty MacColl and Shane McGowan's yuletide anthem Fairytale Of New York.
Inevitably, various groups are up in arms at this display of censorship, calling it political correctness gone mad and everything else you'd probably expect it to. However, the real outrage isn't that Radio 1 has censored the word 'faggot' from Fairytale Of New York, or that it's even playing a song that originally contained the word 'faggot' – no, the real outrage is that Radio 1 is playing a song that's about three times older than its average listener in the first place.
