The Daily Mail Crosses The Line Over Stephen Gately Death

The Daily Mail crosses the line over Stephen Gately Death

As much as it tries, the daily mail has never quite been able to fully cross that line: The line of moral and immoral, right and wrong, just and unjust or fair and unfair. Before now it has paid close attention to the sign at the edge of the cliff, advising it goes no further. That has just changed and it took a mighty great leap from the crumbling clifftop of insensitivity and threw itself into the epitome.

For those of an ignorant disposition, I am of course talking about the Stephen Gately article published by Jan Moir. I would like to point out of course that this type of natural death is very tragic and unforeseen. This news saddened many people who are rightly outraged by the article in question. Somehow she claimed that his death was unnatural and owing to his lifestyle.

Moir, referred now on as Moi due to her outstanding altruism – it’s standing outside, later claimed that she had wished to create an example to young and impressionable young men. I am a young man by the way and I think your example is great, providing of course I was an utterly abhorrent, deplorable and obnoxious squander of otherwise perfectly useful blood and organs.

Speaking as a writer, I must owe them some professional courtesy: To tell the truth, the daily mail occasionally has it’s good points: It’s paper is generally less coarse than that of other papers and is thus far more behind kind; it has generally larger pictures of its columnists which is great when I get bored polishing my shoes and of course, how else would we spot British National Party supporters on the train if they weren’t reading the daily mail?

Apart from these minor uses, what would you have to be to be less useful than the daily mail? An ashtray on a motorbike? Ejector seat in a helicopter? Honestly, it would be less offensive and useless if it were a condom machine in the Vatican; right next to the pope’s office; with hooker ads pinned to it; with a Viagra salesman leaning on it; next to the pulp fiction poster just opposite the sex shop displaying a poster partly obscured by Jacqui smith’s husband.

So what exactly inspired the article by Jan moi, moi, and only moi has an opinion? Is is a sense of utter hatred for homosexuals, the need for a strong and centralised ideal on what’s moral, rejection of all social or liberal deviation, the superiority of the Aryan race?

So, let’s all jump on the bandwagon and sling our most loathsome and repulsive gestures and insults to those who allow this to happen. The daily mail readers and their advertisers. I would hereby like to propose a boycott on all firms advertising in the daily mail and a general third class citizenship for all readers. Maybe that way they might get the message.
