He has said some ridiculously offensive things in his time, but this takes the Biscuit

And I say this as a vegetarian!

He should have shut up years ago. I used to love him and have friends that still do but he's fucking idiot these days. It's embarrassing.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 28/07/2011 21:29

He just thinks of more and more outlandish things to say, in order to get his cause in the press. I'm a massive fan of his music but he's getting ever more ridiculous.

lovecorrie · 28/07/2011 21:31

Him and Bonio - shoot them both..now...please..

Total legend and good on him.

scurryfunge · 28/07/2011 21:34

He is a trappy cunt that makes me want to eat meat.

JosieRosie · 28/07/2011 21:37

I am a massive fan of his but he really does say disgraceful things sometimes and this is a prime example. I don't care if he thinks he's being 'edgy' and trying to provoke people, it's really offensive. In my book, provoking people is not cool if you're over the age of 8.

perplexedpirate · 28/07/2011 21:38

I am such a big Smiths and Morrissey fan and a vegetarian and this just makes me Angry Sad Angry
WWHHHYYYY does he do it? It doesn't help the vegetarian cause AT ALL we he comes out with this shit.
He just makes himself look like a foolish, offensive old man.
I'm just gutted he's said something else so fucking obnoxious.
Gah!

WinkyWinkola · 28/07/2011 21:38

Yes, it's not comparable. It's as bad as Glenn Beck, the Tea Party Voice comparing the child victims of the Norwegian massacre as being part of a Hitler Youth Camp

I wish respect could be shown to these victims instead of comparing them to something else. Stop comparing ffs. It's all horrible.

JosieRosie · 28/07/2011 21:40

Agree with WinkyWinkola. Why are some people so keen to turn tragedy into a pissing contest? It was such a rotten thing to say.

BeardofZeus · 28/07/2011 21:41

The man is a douche.

TheCrackFox · 28/07/2011 21:42

He should sticik to singing his rather depressing ditties.

WinkyWinkola · 28/07/2011 21:43

I am a twit. I just said it's not comparable but it's as bad as Glenn Beck. Oh dear.

JosieRosie · 28/07/2011 21:47

I think I understood Winky Wink You're fine!

joric · 28/07/2011 21:48

Arrogant
Rude
Conceited
Condescending
Complete twat Idiotic
But most of all, a ridiculous little man who believes the hype.
In conclusion... Don't care for him much myself.

Becaroooo · 28/07/2011 21:51

Has he got a record/book/tour to promote perchance???

Knobhead

thisfantasticvoyage · 28/07/2011 21:53

I think he's probably just trying to raise awareness of fact that millions of animals are killed in horrific conditions each year just so people can have fast food. Not such a bad cause, methinks.

WinkyWinkola · 28/07/2011 21:53

But I do feel sorry for the animals he's concerned about.

thisfantasticvoyage · 28/07/2011 21:54

Typical of the DM to pick up on it - the silly fucking wank-faces.

Ponders · 28/07/2011 21:59

why should the DM not pick up on it? he said it - it was a ridiculous & unhelpful thing to say - it deserves the widest possible audience

tosser Hmm

he isn't even a vegan (I have this on good authority) so presumably drinks milk & eats eggs. Where does he think they come from?

joric · 28/07/2011 22:00

thefantastic there are other ways..... I believe.

AmyStake · 28/07/2011 22:01

He is a prize cunt.

As is Bono. Crying about Africa while flying his fucking hat first class round the globe because he forgot it and not paying his taxes.

thisfantasticvoyage · 28/07/2011 22:03

Bono is, indeed, a cunt.
Joric - probably are other ways but, let's face it, those other ways have been going on for years and havent really changed a thing.

joric · 28/07/2011 22:06

Trouble is, this bloke is not going convince anyone - Negative press for the cause.
