Guest bluesxman Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Anyone see The Sun today? Apparently Mark Owen, ex-Take That, was playing a solo gig in Manchester and covered Love Will Tear Us Apart which he ended by pulling his tie up in the air, lolling his tongue out as if he was being hanged....much denials all round but the picture looks pretty conclusive...but then it is the Sun...if he did do it, I am speechless....what a complete prick.....

El Pacino Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I'd like to see mark owen and hooky in a celebrity boxing match for Epileptic Charities where Hooky gets to pulverise the little crop top wearing nonce for a complete lack of dignity and respect.I'm no fan of Robbie 'cuntface' Williams but at least he's keeping his distance from these shower of twats who masquerade as a "boyband".For the good of mankind.....

medichi Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Dear god, its not like he took a shit on his grave. Why should Ian Curtis be any more sacred than George Best or Princess Di? I know i've pissed myself laughing at "sick" jokes about them. Oh, he was "alternative" and therefore untouchable........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael MacLennan Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 If this was a Chris Morris sketch most of you would be pissing yourselves at how funny it was.I think the real reason people are getting pissed off is because it's someone they regard as a talentless dim twat doing it. Which is quite a good reason, all things considered.For instance, lots of people thought it was ironically a great tribute when Mark E Smith was obstinant and rude on the Newsnight tribute to John Peel, but if it had been Peter Andre doing a similar routine, several thousand indie fans would have been buying sawn-off shotguns and making a one-way trip to London.

Spoonie Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 several thousand indie fans would have been buying sawn-off shotgunsi think you buy them as normal shotguns and then saw them off yourself. i don't think you can specifically buy pre-sawnoffs. /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Page 99 Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Complete and total publicity stunt. If no one was going to react like this he wouldn't have done it. You're all just giving him the publicity he wanted. Just listen to Joy Division and be happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tv tanned Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 how many famous people publicly made jokes about the death of Princess Di?There's at least six or seven on the Best Of "Have I Got News For You" DVD in my flat.

Swingin' Ryan Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 that is a fucking killer tune tho! /xIt certainly is. Anyone remember that Brits 'best song of the last 25 years award' when it got down to the last five, but was beaten by 'Angels'?It would have been one of the most cracking media upset if it had won.
