Fagburn: Here Is Today's Gay Stupid News!

• Muslims are bad, be afraid, very afraid.
• Apart from the gay ones - so brave!
• Thing about scary black man, with photo.
• Opinion: They kill people just for being gay in Iran (but they're clearly not very good at finding them. Oh hang on - maybe this is just right-wing propaganda. Let's bomb the bastards anyway).
• A free holiday in gayfabulous Tel Aviv!
• The Pope - boo! Golly, we're so angry about this old dude. But as long as people are nice to the gays everything else is a-okay.
• Poll: Aren't you glad you were born in England? Land of the free! 
• Something boring we found on Google News.
• Story we saw in The Sun online. No need to question this - or indeed anything.
• Press release - AMAZING SEX SURVEY!!! Phwoar!
• Advertorial - buy this over-priced thing, it's fab!
• If we write - embarrassingly badly - about London Fashion Week will we get some fashion advertising?
• Orientalism.
• Hegemony.
• Orientalism.
• Hegemony.
• Isn't George Takei so funny - WE LOVE!
• Someone's sent us a picture of their stupid little gay dog - AMAZING!
• Travel: Gay Pride In Mali - It's all fandabbydozy in the gay capital of north Africa (Sponsored).
• Secretly we want to make your brains as stupid as ours.

  1. I'm not sure I can trust you.

    You're negative about EVERYFUCKINTHING (unless it's been pre-digested and dribbled into your wide open eager little beak by Chomsky or whoever it is this month in the comic strip Beginners Guide To...).

    Go away and get well and come back when you can be useful. Because you are useful, when you are well.

  2. This is completely made-up BS.

    Here is the last year's Iran coverage on GSN - http://bit.ly/ZJGyGh

    Go on, Frisk it. Take it apart in order to arrive at what appears to be your per-ordained conclusion.

    There is no Tel Aviv freebie in content (I did not see an advert, maybe you did). Your Mali content mention is BS but perhaps you meant the Channel Four reported story. Have a problem with C4?

    GSN has its faults but it is currently covering the most global reach of LGBT stories of any website - name any other with such a reach.

    There is zero constructive criticism here. None. This comment is like a culmination of past ones which summarises a vision in your head bearing no relationship with reality.

    It is lazy and received and nihilistic.

    1. The piece is a - admittedly childish - pisstake, Paul...
      GSN may be a worthwhile project but it's as dull as bumgravy.

    2. May be dull but people read it. Why search for perfection in a dark room? Light a candle and accept the reduced light.

      It's less hard on yourself too.

      Told you my thoughts on Iran before. Been there, seen it and it IS real. They do find them and kill a lot. Most don't reach the media.

      Denial isn't just a river in Africa.

    3. .. GSN may be a worthwhile project but it's as dull as bumgravy. ..

      Some truth to that. Am not a fan of the design either.

  3. Well something is certainly going on.

    I wondered whether I had stepped into an alternative universe about two weeks ago.

    Your either smoking something, eating something or developing something.

    At your best you are AAA, at your less best you are a ranter. And I reckon you don't like that latter state either.

    C'mon Richard, remember what you told us your ex once said, don't take on everything and everybody. Sometimes it's as dark as your website background. Instead give us your gifts!
