Grown Up Gossip & Internet Villainy
Is it possible that there’s a direct correlation between Readers’ Letters going into hibernation for a couple of weeks and you lot losing your minds?
It certainly seems that way to us. This week has been a bumper Christmas annual of bad form and spirit crushing idiocy and we have you to thank for it. Yes, you the reader. You’re scum and we love it.
Gird your loins, it’s time for a trawl through the foetid hecklerspray post bag.
Sexy women, breathe a sigh of relief! You will no longer get men trying to get off with you in a vulgar manner. Men, prepare yourself to start being hypersensitive about everything and noticing the sexist things said to you.
That’s right bozos!?Salacious whistles and sexist words are going to become a criminal act under new laws against sexual harassment to which Britain is signing up.
There’s a pledge to criminalise “verbal, non-verbal or physical” sexual harassment, which is one of the things the?Council of Europe’s convention on violence against women is signing up for. This is to mark?International Women’s Day because, as we know, only women are victims of sexual harassment and verbose innuendo. In fairness, they are asking for it.
The transfer season may well be over, but the biggest football transfer of the year has just taken place. That's right, after having their contracts terminated by Sky Sports, public whipping boys Richard Keys and Andy Gray have signed for conference side talkSPORT, in a deal said to be worth roughly the price of a few Fray Bentos pies.
Gray and Keys, or to give them their proper names, Tweedle-Chimp (have you seen how hairy Keys’ hands are? They’re not HD friendly, that’s for sure) and Tweedle-Chump, are to host a new show every weekday from 10am until 1pm.
Presumably the show will primarily involve Gray and Keys explaining the off-side rule to female callers.
Before Knocked Up, Katherine Heigl was primarily known for being in the world's sappiest, most emotionally-needy hospital drama – but now she's a bona fide movie star.
So really you'd think that Katherine Heigl would have enjoyed being in such a phenomenally well-received comedy movie, since it's paved her way to starring in a bunch of other inane-looking romantic comedies. But not a bit of it, because Katherine Heigl has said in an interview with Vanity Fair that Knocked Up was "hard to love" because it's "a little sexist." But then perhaps Katherine Heigl is confusing 'sexist' with 'capable of eliciting human responses from viewers' – something that Grey's Anatomy has never managed to really do, unless you count yawning as a human response.
