Whats wrong with being sexy?

The sexist debate rages on unabated today as Andy Gray and Richard Keys spend their first Saturday sat at home talking about football probably in much the same way they would if they were in Sky's studio's, albeit in their shit stained pants with tears down their respective faces, trying to pretend that the last week was all a bad dream. It wasn't a dream, they have angered nation and there are millions of women who would be happy to see them burnt at the stake.



"WHOOOOOOOOOOOAHHHH THIS SEXISTS ON FIRE!"

Keys and Gray both complained about dark forces at work, as youtube footage of off camera moments were leaked into the public domain. Police sketches have been released of the suspected leaker.



Dark Forces indeed.

Sticking with the loose reference to the Kings of Leon, Caleb Followhill has upset the gay community with an attack on glee creator Ryan Murphy via twitter, Saying:

"Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra. Zip your lip and focus on educating 7yr olds how to say fuck."

Murphy is thought to be getting comforted by friends.




This begs the question, if Keys and Gray are sacked from Sky for making off camera sexist comments then should Caleb Followhill be sacked by Sky from the Kings of Leon? No would probably be the answer because Sky don't pay the Kings of Leon.

However, it does beg another question, is it worse to be a homophobe or a sexist? The women would probably say its worse to be a sexist and the gays would probably say that its worse to be a homophobe. The jews would probably say that it is acceptable to be either as long as they are not muslims.



Here we go, veering onto anti-semetism.

Of course I am not only bringing up the concept of anti-semetism for a cheap laugh, but also to highlight the theoretical limit of a dislike or hatred based on prejudice, for example Zimbabwe is in the midst of a tabloid attack on the gay community.

For if you want to research it for yourselves, I'm not going to spoon feed you. Not when there is non-news to talk about.


This is why prejudice in general is frowned upon with the exception of the prejudices against the Irish travellers who are all horrible without any exceptions apart from maybe David Essex. However the theoretical limit of irrational hatred is a long way off from off screen comments about women... here are a few on screen comments about men...



These women are paid to say this kind of nonsense. I for one am outraged!

I am accutely aware that we live in a patriarchal society and that a programme like Loose Women is a side effect of this but at the same time, why the fuck are they on telly during the day? They should be at home doing the washing and making themselves look pretty for their husbands who will soon be coming home from a hard day at work?

Equally, someone like Peter Scissons gets leaked making desparaiging remarks which could be construed as sexist about Anne Robinson and instead of being front page news for an entire week, he ends up on a top 50 celebrity whoops programme.



The Keys and Gray purile banter about women not knowing the offside rule and a bit of 'would you?' chat and suddenly people are getting sacked and handing in resignation letters. The tape where Gray asked a woman to pop a mic down his trousers was probably the most unsettling to watch of the numerous off screen moments. But she chose not to complain.



...And Neither would I! (LOLZ!)


So there you go, the theoritical limit of prejudice is the Genocide, but as neither Peter Scissons, Andy Gray or Richard Keys, the Kings of Leon or even Loose Women have ever killed scores of women, gays or jews, these stereotypes are hardly inflamatory and should not be bothering our front pages, not when the real crime is the fact that there is a prime time programme portraying Irish Travellers in a positive light on Channel 4 on wednesday at 9pm.



Worse than women, gays jews and sexists and homophobes all at the same time.
