This. But quietly so that no one decides to shout at me.

Too late! You have garnered my ire for all time!

If I want to make fun of Tom Daley and the endless programmes about him where he's only dressed in a pair of Speedos the entire time, then I am well within my rights as an angry bloke.

However, my assertion that we are bombarded by images and shows about him almost constantly because of a BBC gay mafia could be criticised as just a baseless accusation.

It's not though, but it could be criticised.

I know that demeaning other human beings for your personal amusement is almost your raison d'etre but can't you find something more interesting to say? You sound like an ignorant homophobic teenager when you keep going on about yucky gay people.

I'm not going on about 'yucky gay people', I'm going on about having to see close ups of a penis and balls when I'm trying to watch the telly.

By concentrating soley on Tom Daley's male genitalia, the television makers are being entirely sexist.

I demand early evening flange and lots of it to counteract this overtly sexist behaviour by programme makers.

Why does it make you "an angry bloke" to see other men in Speedos? He dives - so it surely makes sense that he appears in what is essentially uniform. If he didn't, I bet his hair, his build or his voice among other things would still make you angry. Just like the female contestants being called lesbians on Twitter because they have muscular builds. It's completely ridiculous. Acting a certain way does not make you gay, and being gay does not make you any less of a person. Nor does it make it any more acceptable for people to ridicule you and you choices.

So you wouldn't be complaining then, if it was women being objectified in what you call a sexist manner? Cos I can show you a few examples of that...although if I posted them here I'm really not sure how they'd be used.

I am going to ignore this thread for a bit.

And once again, the argument is being confused. None of you can deny that Tom Daley has been massively overexposed by the media to the point that I grow weary of him.

You instead attack me for voicing my objection to seeing him on the television all the time.

If it makes everyone happy - totally straight, deep voiced and manly Tom Daley pisses me off because I'm really tired of seeing his entirely heterosexual penis and balls on my television screen.

Reverse sexism is still sexism and does not make me an evil monster for complaining.

I know it's still sexism, but both kinds are just as bad. So I objected to the request for "early evening flange".

Lol, if you can't complain about someone being on TV too much without resorting to silly gay jokes, that's a pretty sad state of affairs. (He annoys me too, but not because I think he might be gay.)

I can totally understand your objection. I however would be happy with a healthy balance of swimsuit clad genitalia on the television. Except maybe that midget swimmer lady, as that is some dodgy territory.

Personally I didn't think you were the worst offender. And you didn't say anything worse than the usual eye-roll inducing guff you usually do. I totally agree that he's being very much forced into our faces though. It's like the media have picked his as some sort of .. I don't know face of the games? What's all that about?

I think it was more referring to women as 'early evening flange' rather than wanting mroe female flesh to balance it out.

I was walking with someone I know past a Sainburys and they saw an olympics poster and laughed. When I asked why they were laughing they said: "that photo's proper rubbish, it makes that swimmer look all midgety and disabled!"

And I was like.. "dude, that's a poster for the paralympics".

And they were like "oh, that's less funny now."

It's very difficult not to make jokes involving effeminite ways and possible sexual preferences with Tom Daley. Graham Norton is like Chuck Norris in comparison.

It would be much weirder if I made gay jokes about Boris Johnson. Which people on this forum have done, but that's okay, because he's not a hunky swimmer that the chicks like staring at.

This is Rebecca Adlington all over again.

'gay' seems to be your joke of the moment, and you've been making similar comments on other threads too today. I know you think you're being hilariously ironic by demanding female sex objects to counteract sexism, but you're just being repetitive and tedious.

Nope, not objecting to that at all. Objecting to you having to use gay slurs to do so. You object to his semi-nudity, what does his sexuality have to do with it?

Gay and camp are not the same thing.
