Stripey Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I don't think there's anything remotely funny or "rocknroll" about some pointless singing and dancing tit from a washed out 90's boyband ridiculing the suicide of a far more important artist.

Alkaline Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Jesus, it's only Ian Curtis for fuck sake. He's not even that important a figure in music history.I can't believe people would be sooooooo outraged by a moment of frivolity.Stop crying for a minute or two and get a firm grasp of reality, Mark Owen's a non-entity, who gives a shit what he does. Only a handful of no-marks who probably haven't even heard of Ian Curtis would've seen it if the Sun hadn't over sensationalised the whole thing.What a waste of time.

Biz Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 tHE SCUM more like...I FUCKEN HATE THE PAPERS they control the masses like the religions do....we pay troops to torture confessions out of Jonny foreigners and are misdirected by a nonentity making a poor joke about someones demise due to mental health problems....Mark Owen is not evil ...only stupid and pretty talentless..if you want to get worked up about something - try to help the people getting tortured on the back of our hard earned tax money, REVOLT NOW we are paying for far worse ...the KILling Joke continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundian Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I think we should all show our disgust by not buying tickets for the Take That tour next spring. Shouldn't be too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Temple Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Ian Curtis is my idol, but perhaps the noblest statement of intent ever made was "Kill Yr Idols".

Guest Mr Blastcap Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i thought it was funny, manchester and their mawkish grief. anyhow if he'd been ripping his way through an inxs number and done the same thing it would have been far cooler to find it funny. i dont get joy division, he danced like a spastic. sacred cows, and all that.

Guest pop-notmyface Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i think you buy them as normal shotguns and then saw them off yourself. i don't think you can specifically buy pre-sawnoffs. /xum, sawn-off shotguns are what the name suggests when you buy them, they are "sawn-off" - which simply means they are shorter than your average shotgun. they can easily fit into your pocket, perfect for those highschool grudge matches on the last day of school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Mark E Smith only met John Peel about 3 times even though they recorded so many Peel sessions and The Fall were his favourite band. He didn't even go to the funeral. What's the comparison? He didn't go on TV faking a heart attack did he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 um' date=' sawn-off shotguns are what the name suggests when you buy them, they are "sawn-off" - which simply means they are shorter than your average shotgun. they can easily fit into your pocket, perfect for those highschool grudge matches on the last day of school [/quote']not strictly tho, most sawnoffs are made my buying a conventional shotgun and sawing the barrel and a large portion of the butt down to make it lighter and more compact, and also to increase the spread of shot. Most sawn-offs have been created by taking a conventional double-barreled gun and chopping the barrels and usually most of the stock too. There have been a few purpose designed guns. In the 1920s Ithaca produced the Auto & Burglar gun with 10" barrels' date=' 16"loa and a weight of around 4.5lb. Grip resembled that of a revolver but on the early models had a comb or spur like projection designed to spread recoil forces into the hand. Some models had barrels of 12.5". Similar was Holland's Auto-Burglar gun and Defiance's "Anti-Bandit". All of these were 20 gauge in either 2 3/4 or 3" chambering. A French company makes a 12 bore OU pistol, the GC54. This is mainly used with riot rounds such as CS cloud and rubber shot. [/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pacino Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i think it's pretty funny' date=' it made me laugh, especially the fact he dressed like iain curtis,it's definetly not "sick".[/quote']I would find it really funny if someone mocked my dead father who killed himself because he was fucked up on prescribed drugs for battling chronic epileptic fits. Would you?Its not coz he's an 'indie idol' but because he was a human being like everyone else. I don't think people are that naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael MacLennan Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 i think you buy them as normal shotguns and then saw them off yourself. i don't think you can specifically buy pre-sawnoffs. /xAhh, nice try Spoonie! But I was talking about buying them down a local pub, so touche! An ultra-intelligent Joy Division fan would know better than to betray himself to a police investigation by leaving such an obvious 'fingerprint'. Though how he would cope in a downmarket Glaswegian pub trying to buy firearms, well, I admit there could be difficulties.Oh, and I knew there was that moment from The Day Today, I didn't mention it as I was unsure who was responsible for writing it. But that's the moment I thought of when somebody mentioned how sick Mark Owen was, and had a little chuckle, though the chuckle was mostly about Fur Q, so technically I wasn't laughing at the dead. Not then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if someone went about making jokes about the death of their previous drummer I am sure you wouldn't enjoy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
