One user, LudiChris, wrote, “Since when did luring children to your specially built private adventure land and then sleeping with them but not telling their parents and then settling multi-million dollar lawsuits out of court with gagging orders and then moving to Dubai become a crime, huh? It’s political correctness gone mad!”</p> <p>By contrast, Gary Glitter will not be enjoying a release of his greatest hits any time soon because he insists on keeping on breathing and because lyrics such as, “Come on! Come on!” could possibly be seen as subtle references to his activities with young Vietnamese fans.</p> <p>Supporters of the disgraced rocker have formed a pressure group, “Take It Up the Glitter” to reverse his fortunes and are currently accepting public donations with a view to obtaining a new contract for him. “Or perhaps on him. We’ll see how it goes,” said a spokesperson.</p> <p>Sony CMG’s Head of Marketing, Diana Swanson, said, “We were really worried that Jacko’s imaginatively-titled new album would be a flop, what with all those old cutting-room floor reject songs and dodgy duets with talent-dodgers like Akon. Thank God I had the idea to get Michael’s doctor to kill him with that overdose! That was genius. Don’t print that last bit though.” </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=6084#post-17007 Sat, 12 Jun 2010 08:02:29 +0000 arrghgarry 17007@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It was definetly Nearest and Dearest </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=6084#post-16876 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 13:04:00 +0000 edward hack 16876@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>do you mind if I go and sit over with the wife beaters and the bloke in the raincoat </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=6084#post-16848 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:36:36 +0000 jp1885 16848@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Mind Your Language - now there was a sitcom! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=6084#post-16819 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 09:15:29 +0000 Oxbridge 16819@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It was indeed from Love Thy Neighbour, 'I'll 'ave 'alf" being the scriptwriters idea of a good running gag.</p> <p>Am I alone in thinking Love Thy Neighbour wasn't actually racist? It certainly treated racial name-calling as something suitable to laugh about in a way that would make any sensible person cringe now, but Jack Smethurst's racist white character was a complete buffoon who was always outsmarted by his much sharper black neighbour. It's heart was in the right place, it's just that it was utterly crap and unfunny. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=6084#post-16739 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:57:46 +0000 jp1885 16739@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Shame - I was getting used to seeing life at a slight angle.
