Twitter - 1 : Evil hate-filled bitch Jan Moir - 0
In her latest spewings, the ghastly Jan Moir of that Daily Mail - and what the fuck goes on in that vile bitches head? - has concluded that pop star Stephen Gately died, and probably deserved to die, because he was one of those revolting gayers.
In an article filled with innuendo, dripping with poison, she tries to draw us all to her ridiculous conclusions that he died because he was, you know, not normal.
No need to repeat it all here, as its been comprehensively fisked by Anton Vowl over at The enemies of reason, but those who are too lazy to go there (no, you should) here are the highlights:
"Whatever the cause of death is, it is not, by any yardstick, a natural one."
"..those idols live a life that is shadowed by dark appetites or fractured by private vice"
"..household names out there with secret and not-so-secret troubles .. damaging habits both past and present"
"33-year-old men do not just climb into their pyjamas and go to sleep on the sofa, never to wake up again. "
"After a night of clubbing, Cowles and Gately took a young Bulgarian man back to their apartment. It is not disrespectful (like fuck it isn't) to assume that a game of canasta with 25-year-old Georgi Dochev was not what was on the cards."
On and on it goes, prejudice, hate and resentment oozing from her fingertips. Why don't you try something similar about them Muslims, Jan? We'll collect your body parts after the weekend.
But of course, as well as going in the tawdry rag in W H Smiths, this crap went online. And shit, the Twittersphere's not havin' any of that.
People got busy, twitters were sent, the issue rocketed up in profile. An ironic -although not overly subtle - hashtag, #thedailymailisgay, sprung up.
Tweets were directed to the advertisers on the web page, urging them to look at what they were squatting next to. BT, Marks and Spencers' and Visit England were all contacted, and one-by-one decided that, no, this was perhaps not part of their corporate image. Ads began to disappear.
Eventually, the monkeys running the Daily Mail's website realised what was going on, and pulled all of the adverts. Moir's piece now floats - if it hasn't been pulled completely by now - in an ocean of non-revenue generating whitespace.
Twitter may be trivial, tedious and pointless most of the time, but when it comes to dealing with sad, hate-filled fascists like Jan Moir:
Twitter For The Win!!
++ UPDATE ++ Fuckin' 'ell : CF finds himself, for once, in agreement with Alastair fucking Campbell, who fisks the article, and the following semi-apology, rather well.
