Bill O'Reilly's Malign Influence Reaches The Shores Of The United Kingdom

Man the barricades! Call up the TA! Bill O'Reilly's coming!

The other night Jim and I were watching telly when an advert came on for Heinz Deli spreads. It was a fairly normal advert, the premise of which was that by using the deli spread the Mum was emulating a New York deli chef. To illustrate this the Mum's place was taken by a stereotypical New Yorker in a chef's outfit making lunch for the kids and husband.

It was clever, as clever as an advert can get anyway, and watchable. At the end, for humourous purposes, the husband goes to live and the deli chef asks for his goodbye kiss. Which was a very light smooch. Jim and I laughed and I thought nothing more of it.

Seems Bill O'Reilly, in a country that the advert wasn't even shown in, was disturbed by this show of affection. Some people it would seem have trouble understanding the subtle nuances of advertising. Some crazy people thought the advert was in support of gay marriage. Bless them, for their stupidity.

So the advert has been pulled thanks to him and 220 complaints from messed up folks. They think this is disturbing? I'll tell you what is disturbing... the NSPCC adverts. This was just funny.

What really gets me about this advert is Heinz feel it's ok to use gay material for humour but are not prepared to defend the advert when the crazy homophobes appear. Either put up or shut up. If you can't stand the heat Heinz, don't go stirring up trouble!!!

I like companies that are brave enough to be different... and stand by their campaigns. I can't stand companies that are sooooo profit driven they don't care what they do in their search for profit.

Flock

A couple of years back I downloaded Flock. And I was very unimpressed with it. I uninstalled it after a while as it seemed to be just a grey version of Firefox.

Then a week or so ago I downloaded it again as it's finally out of beta. And the changes over the last couple of years have certainly been good.

Not only does it look good, I love it's toolbars, and the fact I've merged it with Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Flickr, Youtube... the list goes on... it's now my browser of choice... Love it.

I wish this Writers strike in America would finish soon. I'm seriously suffering from a The Daily Show cold turkey. I even watched Fox News today and made up (lame) jokes in my head. I might watch the O'Reilly Factor and pretend O'Reilly is really doing his show ironically, just to get my Colbert fix.

Leave Queers Alone (Or Else!)

Now we've all had a great big laugh over the "Leave Britney Alone" video. It was funny, if not slightly disturbing. However has anyone spent any time reading the comments on that video?

They are full of the most disturbing homophobic rubbish. Faggot this, queer that, you suck dick, is this a boy or a girl? etc. etc. I know, that is fairly standard for youtube, sadly this world is full of potty mouthed idiots without a brain. But God it makes me mad. These little bastards sit safely behind their computers screens and happily pour on the abuse, but out in public they are as nice as pie.

These little wimps are in desperate need of a straight bashing. Here's Chris Crockers attack on Fox News. Don't even get me started on them! Bill O'Reilly *shudder*





So did you hear the news? The ever gorgeous Brent Corrigan has auditioned to be in Another Gay Sequel. Oh how good would that be??? Brent Corrigan comes to the mainstream... gay mainstream anyway...
