I read the news today oh boy! Page 254

That. Or, what I said. :)

Life would be a lot easier for blokes if they didn't crave sex more than women.

And, conversely, more difficult for women.

I feel sorry for anyone taken out of context - and I'm not sure that Stephen necessarily was - more that he spoke out of turn on an issue men really aren't allowed to talk about freely anymore. However, it's a bit rich of him to go into a hissy fit when he perceives himself as the victim of scorn, as he has over the years been equally guilty of making off-the-cuff spiteful personal comments against others - some of whom have been equally unfairly vilified.

Notably, I've never heard of Stephen ever apologising for any hurtful comments he's made about others, even when it has over-reacted. This is perhaps a sign of an underlying self-centeredness and stubbornness - or being spoilt, as Nanny would say.

He does sound a tad over-sensitive here, I don't see that anyone was really calling him the anti-Christ. Let's hope it's not another case of him suffering a deep depression. I wouldn't like to think that he might do something awful like fleeing the country again, or making us endure another TV series about his depression.

I assumed he meant in the thousands of Tweets he must have received.

Much as I like a great deal of the Fry output, he is a consumate self-indulger.

Ah, point taken.

Anyway, hope he comes back! Throwing what comes across as a bit of a hissy fit isn't going to help. Silly old Stephen.

How is this different to the Mail taking a pop at Frankie Boyle for some tasteless material?

I'm pretty sure that it's been proven quite a few times that men are a lot more sexually driven than women are, hasn't it? Saying that women are willing to have sex in order to trap men into a relationshio is a bit off though.

Bit of a non-article really. Who cares? He's such a flouncy mare, is Mr Fry.

That's sad.

Arkansas School Board Member Says Gay Students Should "Get AIDS and Die"

http://gayrights.change.org/blog/view/arkansas_school_board_member_says_gay_students_should_get_aids_and_die

"Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way I'm wearin' it for them is if they all commit suicide," McCance said, in one of the most ugly outbursts in recent memory. "I can't believe the people of this world have got this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed themselves because of their sin."

...

"Being a fag doesn't give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then don't tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself," McCance wrote. "It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags can't procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die."

That's disgusting. What a twat!

Wow.

And I bet he won't even get sacked from the school board.

Yeah, poor old Lily.

Oh I hope he gets destroyed.

Poor Lily Allen, that's her second then isn't it? So sad :(
